The NVIDIA-based video card market is a bit more splintered than the ATI one, and we still have the older GeForce cards available at street level, and competing at the entry-level and mainstream sectors. Naturally, the GeForce 6 and 7 Series lines receive a greater number of listings, and especially as we move to the popular GeForce 6600/6800 and GeForce 7600/7800/7900 levels. NVIDIA gets the same overall coverage as the ATI list, starting at the GeForce FX and ending with the powerful GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB and GeForce 7950 GX2 1GB cards. But just like ATI, there are some NVIDIA cards that are becoming increasingly hard to locate, and we continue to adjust our list accordingly.
While the ATI chart showed a slightly higher overall chart drop, the aggregate $89 chart decrease actually held better news for NVIDIA fans. That's because there was no $100+ price cut skewing the chart, and instead we have a nice selection of price increases and decreases. The NVIDIA listings were a lot more volatile as well, and included eleven double-digit price cuts, along with five similar price increases. Notable price drops included the ASUS GeForce 7600 GT 256MB (-$34), PNY GeForce 7900 GS 256MB (-$32), and Biostar GeForce 7600 GT 256MB (-$29) cards, while the ASUS GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB (+$43), GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB (+$37), and GeForce 7800 GT 256MB (+$36) cards served the same purpose on the other end of the scale.
