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 price drops on NVIDIA-based video cards are not exactly blowing off the doors, but are certainly on a different level than in the ATI chart. Lower prices included the GeForce 7800 GS 256MB AGP (-$35), GeForce 8600 GT 512MB (-$13), ASUS GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB (-$13) cards, along with a pair of $10 cuts. Unfortunately, there was some activity on the other end of the chart, including three cards that hit double-digits. But other than a pair of $10 increases, the $30 spike to the GeForce 7900 GS 256MB card was the only significant jump. The aggregate chart drop of $50 was looking good for September, and even represented an improvement over the -$29 we posted in August.
