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 may have had the larger price fluctuations, January was a better overall month for NVIDIA buyers. That is because the majority of chart activity was comprised of price drops, with very little in the way of higher prices on NVIDA-based video cards. The largest price cut was only $35, but there was a total of eleven drops that hit double-digits, including the PNY GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB (-$35), PNY GeForce 7950 GT 512MB (-$31), and GeForce 7800 GS 256MB AGP (-$30) cards. There was only a single price increase that even registered, as the Gigabyte GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB jumped $24 over the past month. The price movement was solidly in the consumer's favor this month, and the overall chart trends naturally followed along, with an aggregate chart decrease of $215.
