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 NVIDIA camp showed much better consumer trends, and has now taken over from ATI/AMD for the second straight month. An amazing fourteen NVIDIA-based video cards showed decreases in the double digit range, with the GeForce 9600 GSO 768MB (-$41), GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB (-$35) and GeForce GTX 280 1GB (-$23) taking the top spots. Only two NVIDIA models increased by similar amounts, but this included a $28 spike to the price of a GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1GB. The overall chart movement still fell in the buyer's favor, as the NVIDIA listings dropped by an aggregate total of $202 for the month.
