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 7 and 8 Series lines receive a greater number of listings, and especially as we move to the popular GeForce 7300/7600/7950 and GeForce 8800 levels. NVIDIA gets the same overall coverage as the ATI list, starting at the GeForce FX and ending with the powerful GeForce 7950 GT 512MB and GeForce 8800 GTS/GTX 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 rising prices, December was a very good month for NVIDIA cards, and the $239 aggregate chart drop was very welcome news - especially after a very disappointing November. There is a nice selection of price drops, with some of the higher-end boards naturally receiving the largest cuts. These included the PNY GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB (-$50), PNY GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB (-$50), Gigabyte GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB (-$47), and ASUS GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB (-$38) cards. While there was some activity on the other end of the chart, many of the larger increases hit some of the older cards, like the GeForce 7900 GTX 512MB (+$48) and GeForce FX 5500 256MB (+$15), and GeForce 6600 256MB (+$13).
