The NVIDIA-based video card market is a bit more splintered than the AMD 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 AMD 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.
NVIDIA buyers are in much the same boat as their AMD counterparts, and the two charts are very similar. NVIDIA GeForce-based cards may have accounted for only five double-digit price drops, but all registered at $20 or more. These included the GeForce 7950 GT 512MB (-$30), GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB (-$27), and PNY GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB (-$27) graphics cards. The price cuts were certainly weighted in favor of the high-end models, but there was a wide range of smaller drops that hit the mainstream and entry-level selection. Only a single NVIDIA card registered a similar price increase, but this was a hefty $31 spike to the cost of a GeForce 7950 GX2 1GB card. This resulted in the lower aggregate chart decrease of $135 for the NVIDIA cards.
