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.
Once again, the NVIDIA video card results showed more positive trends for interested buyers. There were some very deep price cuts, including a $77 drop to the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB while the GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB and GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB fell by $44 and $37, respectively. Overall, there were ten price decreases that reached double digits, including six of $24 or higher. The price increases simply couldn't keep up, and other than a $59 spike to the price of a GeForce 7950 GT 512MB, there was very little to report. The overall chart movement reflected this, and displayed an aggregate chart drop of $246, which is well up from the $79 drop we posted in December.
