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.
May was definitely an ATI month, and the overall NVIDIA chart fell by an aggregate total of only $98. There was a wide selection of large price increases and decreases, which was part of the problem - these tend to cancel each other out. There were nine double-digit price cuts, including a pair of $35 drops on GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB cards, a $30 cut to the GeForce 6800 GS 512MB AGP, and $21 sliced off the retail price of a GeForce 7950 GT 256MB card. Unfortunately, there was equivalent activity on the other end of the chart, and seven price increases hit double digits, with the largest being a whopping $64 spike to the GeForce 7950 GT 256MB AGP card. We also introduced the powerful GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB to the May guide.
