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 followed the trends we saw in the ATI listings, and included nine that reached double digits. Some of these were quite significant, such as a $61 cut to the GeForce 7950 GT 512MB, while the ASUS GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB and GeForce 7900 GS 256MB dropped by $33 and $30, respectively. Unfortunately, there was some activity on the other end of the chart, with three double digit increases, while two - GeForce 7800 GS 256MB AGP (+$31) and GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB (+$30) - checked in at $30 or more. This cancelled out some of the drops, and the overall chart decreased by $150 for the month.
