The chip is read from each listing’s title; rebuilt units and sold-out cards are left out. Record from Sep 21. A gap against the launch price is stated only where two or more cards of that memory size are priced, and a chip two generations back is not held to one. Launch prices from Nvidia’s and AMD’s announcements, linked on each chip’s page. We record prices, not frame rates. Checked Oct 10.
