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 held a lot better news than our ATI results, with the price of one card falling off the table. Feeling pressure from the GeForce 8800 G92 models, the GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB dropped by $110, easily the largest of the seven NVIDIA double-digit cuts. Others included the GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB (-$31), GeForce 8800 GT 512MB (-$15) and GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB (-$15) cards. Only one NVIDIA-based card showed any real price increase, as the GeForce 9600 GT 1GB jumped by $21. This didn't affect the bottom line that much, as the NVIDIA chart dropped by an aggregate total of $230.
