Soldato
Yeah they will keep dropping now miners are not hungry for them. Tons of Rx 570/80/Vega in stock. Obviously they ain't shifting them at current prices.
you spelt offloading wrong
Things are looking goodtempted by the 1070ti on offer but might hold off for a sub £500 1080
Theres a Palit for 499.
Oh yeah! hmmmm decisions decisions
Soldato
Prices are still stupid. Don’t buy and they will come down.

Good to hear some good news at last. Still going to hold off a while, but my 390X barely tolerates my 1440p monitor...
its gunna be a good time for buyers soon as miners will be getting rid flooding decent cards on the market so many wont buy the top end prices new.so prices will have to drop right down.
Yup don't buy from retailers at current prices and they'll have to drop even further until they start to sell again
Like I said at the start of all this, retailers should have thought more about the impact that their gouging pricing decisions would have in the long run as chances are they are going to be making a loss from here on out.

without being a douche..i hope so.
they hiked the prices because they could..now miners aren't buying as much we are their main market again,well I have rrp money sat here for a 1080ti but not until the prices drop to what they were before,il buy direct from NVidia before pay extorted prices.

I'm sure they made money selling cards to all those miners, but now (r)etailers are in competition with the glut of second hand cards the miners are dumping.
Soldato
Nor me, unless there was a substantial saving.
Oh no doubt they have made a **** ton from their gouging but now they are very likely going to make a loss for quite a few months, at least if they want to be able to move the cards with ease.... I also wouldn't be surprised if etailers get an awful lot of people/miners trying to return the cards to them for "faulty/RMA" reasons or whatever.
Also, how many gamers are going to be wanting to pay still rather high prices for what are considered as "old" gpus now i.e. the cards have been out for 1/2+ years and yet they are still costing £300+ when they should really at the very least be <£300 by now.... No way are people/gamers going to be wanting to pay the same/higher prices all this time after especially when nvidia's next gpus are right around the corner
And as said, people will be buying from ebay etc. instead as they are going to be much cheaper (I got no problem buying a miner's card, as long as there is still plenty of warranty left)

Let's all remember the price gouging, retailers have milked their customers, now its all in reverse. The law of supply and demand that has been banged on about while miners bought everything in sight, not anymore.
Sit on your money as prices will continue to drop as miners dump their cards and the Nvidia launch approachs.

There's been loads of stock for quite a while now but pricing drops have barely started. When we can get a Vega 56 for £350 & a Vega 64 for £500 we can let out a sigh of relief.
