ATI and NVIDIA Video Cards: Price Changes

The following chart takes all of the tracked ATI and NVIDIA cards, and incorporates it into one monster price list, that is then sorted by the monthly price change. This gives us a slightly different view than in previous ATI and NVIDIA lists, as it identifies the month's biggest movers and shakers, and can really help identify the areas to take advantage of. When used with the other price charts, this list can add another dimension to the monthly video card prices, but keep in mind that the largest cuts may not translate into the best overall deal.

The overall price change list confirms our findings in the individual video card charts and commentary, and we again see a few of the highlighted models featured prominently in the "movers and shakers" area. In terms of the largest individual price cuts, December gave the NVIDIA camp a slight edge, as GeForce-based cards (mostly of the GeForce 8800 variety) accounted for six of the top ten price drops. ATI was certainly in there as well, with Radeon X1800, X1900 and X1950 video cards placing in the top ten listings. Unfortunately, ATI was also very well represented on the bottom of the chart - the two biggest price cuts were for Radeon cards, and these accounted for seven of the ten largest price increases.
