ATI and NVIDIA Video Cards: Price Changes

The following chart takes all of the tracked AMD and NVIDIA cards, and incorporates it into one monster price list, that is then sorted by the monthly price change. This gives us a slightly different view than in previous AMD and NVIDIA lists, as it identifies the month's biggest movers and shakers, and can really help identify the areas to take advantage of. When used with the other price charts, this list can add another dimension to the monthly video card prices, but keep in mind that the largest cuts may not translate into the best overall deal.

The overall price change list simply confirms our findings in the individual video card charts and commentary. The overall results have the NVIDIA cards holding the top spots down in a stranglehold, taking the top four positions and seven out of the top ten. The overall dollar amounts also favored the NVIDIA selection, and the latest GeForce 8800 GT/GTS (G92) and 9600 GT/9800 GX2 video cards have really pushed down prices on last-generation models like the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB/640MB and GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB cards, while the same effect is not in play with ATI.
