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 NVIDIA chart offered even worse news, and while the ATI listings might not have been showing significant drops, at least prices moved in the right direction. The NVIDIA-based listings were a different story, but at least in terms of the price cuts, still resembled the ATI results. Three entries received double-digit price decreases: the PNY GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB (-$21), GeForce 8600 GTS 512MB (-$20) and GeForce 7600 GT 256MB AGP (-$10) cards. Where things really go wrong is with the price increases, where we find a whopping eight listings that increased by double digits. These included the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB (+$36) and GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB (+$31) cards, and resulted in an aggregate chart increase of $109 for the month.
