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, especially as we move to the popular GeForce 7300/7600/7950 and GeForce 8400/8600/8800 levels. NVIDIA gets the same overall coverage as the ATI list, starting at the entry-level GeForce FX, moving to the GeForce 8600 series, and ending with the powerful GeForce 8800 GTS/GTX/Ultra 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.
The month of July was much nicer to NVIDIA-based cards, and here we find both a higher overall chart decrease and a more even distribution of the individual price drops. The NVIDIA chart fell by an aggregate total of $256, surpassing the ATI total, and there were eight double-digit price cuts. These included the GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB (-$80), GeForce 7950 GT 256MB AGP (-$66), and GeForce 8400 GS 256MB (-23) video cards, which covered a wide range of price-performance ranges. There were also a couple of similar price increases, the largest of which is a $16 jump to the GeForce 7950 GT 512MB. This is also the second month in a row that NVIDIA outpaced ATI in terms of overall price drops.
