Whats the estimated price drop on current gen nvidia graphcis card (pascal) when new ones come out?

Any idea what the EVGA 1080TI FTW 3 was? as I'm looking to get one when they come down a bit.
 
The price drop will be insignificant if at all. The last few generations sort of prove that. They just bring the new cards out at a slightly higher price leaving the old ones in place.

Yup. They will just let stock dwindle down whilst they ramp up production of the new cards. Don't expect much of an overlap at all.
 
Usually OCuK will pick up small batches of EOL cards from their suppliers and offer them as special deals, 980Ti's were particularly good when Pascal first appeared if I remember, They were selling for £299, cards that were double that price only a few mths earlier.

..who knows if the same will happen with 1080Ti's.
 
If I'm right a lot of places will keep the pricing the same in order to push people to newer gen rather than lowering the price of older cards making people (not everyone ofcourse) in turn buy older models.

That was only a special deal for a very short time though, they did go back up in price.
 
I think that's a little speculation there rather than fact :).
Maxwell Ti's were £550 or so if I remember correctly at launch? 1080 Ti's £679, when you can get them. If folks want to chase non FE card pricing higher then more fool them I say. Buy FE and watercool it :). 1180 Ti probably under £700 I reckon but will be a long wait from now.
Pound will be smashing the $ by then too. Trumpland will wreck it. It'll be $4 to the pound :D (joking). $1000 in USA, £250 in UK, that would be nice.

In answer to OP, they'll likely just be phased out at similar price - NV don't usually discount EOL stuff, unless the retailer just wants rid of last of stock so you may find the odd deal around.

For 980Ti, that took a roughly £200 price drop upon Pascel being officially announced.

This time, it could be different, in that Pascal stays where it is, due to current demand.
 
From what I can rememer, the old stuff slowly drops in price before the launch of the new stuff, then the new stuff comes out at a slightly higher price than the older, discounted stuff. Then everyone moans that the new stuff is a rip off as you can buy the old stuff for better perf/£
 
I’d guess that the price of crypto currency will have more of an impact.

On a similar note a pox on all the crypto miners. I’m rather enjoying the bursting bubble.

At this point it seems unlikely we'll see Volta GPUs for gaming (beyond the Titan V, if you can actually consider that to be a gaming card). It seems like, from now on, we're going to get divergence between gaming and HPC-compute cards.

The best information right now suggests that we'll get a new architecture ("Turing") for the next generation of gaming cards, based on a 12nm process and Volta-style CMs, but without the overhead of compute-specific parts (like tensor cores etc), which is likely to appear in July/August. Ampere will be the follow-up to Volta, as an HPC card, and will follow later, probably in early-mid 2019.
 
They will come down but how much will depend on how good Volta is at mining and how expensive they are. Either way there will still be a demand for pascal cards for mining so the pricing will stay higher than it should be.

Got one for £730. Think they were offered at £699 at one point.
