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 8 and 9 Series lines receive a greater number of listings, especially as we move to the popular GeForce 8400/8600/8800 and GeForce 9400/9600/9800 levels. NVIDIA gets the same overall coverage as the ATI list, starting at the entry-level GeForce FX, moving to the GeForce 9600 series, and ending with the powerful GeForce GTX 260 896MB and GTX 280 1GB cards. But just like ATI, some older NVIDIA models are becoming increasingly hard to locate, and we continue to adjust our list accordingly.
The ATI and NVIDIA camps switched places this month, and now it's the GeForce cards showing the most downward movement, as proven by the $172 aggregate drop in the NVIDIA chart. The largest individual price cut was $57 off the GeForce 9800 GX2 1GB, but there were also seven other double digit price drops, including the GeForce GTX 260 896MB and GeForce GTX 260-216 896MB cards, which both fell by $29. Five NVIDIA-based video cards jumped by double digits, and while the GeForce 9600 GSO 384MB (+$30) did spike noticeably, the second-largest increase was only $13.
