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.
There was even better news in the NVIDIA chart, where the price drops cut even deeper, with little in the way of higher prices. To start, thirteen NVIDIA-based video cards fell by double digits, and some dropped by sizable amounts. The following cards certainly qualify: the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB (-$68), GeForce 7900 GS 256MB (-$65), GeForce 9600 GT 1GB (-$58), and GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB (-$50). There was only a single price increase of consequence, and that was a $17 jump to the price of a GeForce 7600 GT 256MB graphics card. The monthly totals also mirrored these individual trends, as the NVIDIA chart posted an amazing $479 aggregate drop over the month of March.
