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.
If the ATI chart got you excited, then the NVIDIA listings will really fire you up. A pair of GeForce cards displayed price drops in the triple-digit range, as the GeForce GTX 280 1GB and GeForce GTX 260 896MB fell by $181 and $103, respectively. There were eleven double-digits drops in all, and the GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB (-$31) and GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB (-$28) cards also showed nice decreases. A pair of cards increased by similar amounts, but these only hit $26 and $10, respectively, and didn't affect the bottom line very much. The month of July showed NVIDIA cards falling by an aggregate total of $437, ahead of both this month's ATI chart and the $308 drop the NVIDIA listings posted last month.
