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 much better news for buyers, and ten GeForce-based cards displayed a double-digit price cut. Some of these were very significant, as the GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB and GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB cards fell by $95 and $87, respectively. Like the ATI Radeon HD 3000 boards, these video cards dropped significantly because of a new line, the GeForce GTX 2000 series. The other price drops were much smaller, sitting in the $10-$31 range. There were a few price increases, as the GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB and GeForce 8800 GT 256MB jumped by $13 and $11, respectively, and the overall NVIDIA chart dropped by an aggregate total of $308.
