When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

There was some doubt on how valid the GPU oversupply was. According to HUBs latest video, Nvidia have put out an official (temporary) price cut, so there is some concern on their side about the stock of high end cards available.

sinceI've been checking FE stock I've only say the 3060 in for a few days, the 3090ti and I think 3080ti were in stock the whole time, no one wants to pay the stupid price premium on those...

look NVDA net profit margin they could probably drop another 30-40% of the price and still be making a profit. it's just pure greed, but I guess they are desperate since their stock plummeted and they had to pay a fine for misleading investors on how many cards they sold to miners.

until someone can match nvda at RT I guess it's going to stay this way

3090 and 3080 have not been in stock for months now and these cards are clearly EOL in the FE range now, the 3090 FE was last to be seen and once the 3090 Ti Fe came out there has been no drops of 3090 FE models and wasn't any for a few months before that as they tried to clear the 3080ti fe but that seems to stay in stock or vanishes one day and then reappears.

Only things we have been seeing randomly drop recently are 3060 ti, 3070ti and even the 3070 is hit and miss but they do drop from time to time, but guessing these cards are now either eol too or the last stock they have that they shift around from country to country till they sell out.

So I would advise anyone after a 3060ti or if luck has it a 3080 fe drops again to grab one once they hit as I believe we are soon at the EOL and last stock floating about, I think the 3080 fe has run dry but maybe stock in countries that is sat in warehouses and not sold that may get moved to other regions yet, but again doubt it with the 3080 fe.

Nvidia are trying hard to shift the 3090ti and 3080ti fe models as they seem to always be in stock and why we have the temporary 3090ti price drop and the games added to that card and a few of the other cards, the didn't even add the games to the other cards under the 3080 from what I see there and the game bundle is a bit of a joke too they say 4 games but really it's 2 and the other 2 things are addons to doom eternal a game that is now available for free on some places or under a £5 and the other game is well not amazing either so the games bundle really is worthless as most people have doom eternal and the other game may not be something people want or like.

Noticed the prices have fallen again today and hopefully they keep falling.

Yes, little point buying at these prices. They cant get rid of them fast enough. Remember, these are the same people that were selling to you at a grand plus at the top.
 
I'm not looking to buy, but £650 for a 16gb 6800xt seems like a good buy.

But is it? Or does it just seem that way given the past 18 months?

I'm fully aware, I've been watching this unfold over the years and now the price is falling almost daily. I won't pull the trigger yet unless the price is right.

Nah, within a few months you'll either be able to get more performance for less, or that same card for half that price.
If people have already ridden out the last nearly 2 years without upgrading, now is the absolute worst time to buy.

Don’t you mean double that price? If there’s another round of GPU shortages…

I feel sorry for those people who had one gpu which broke and had to buy a vastly inflated gpu to replace it. However, for others the shortage was an opportunity to sell gpus into the secondhand market at those vastly inflated prices and trade up. Now its an opportunity to buy some cards at below MRSP for those who waited patiently
 
Quite a few took advantage of the local exchange place... don't hear them complaining. People were selling their Vega's and Turing cards for more than they paid for them and then got a 40/6000 card, just roll with the punches instead of complaining. The primary issue at the start was retailers not limiting orders to one per customer.
 
Its interesting isn't it, the prices are falling because there is now more supply than demand (how quickly things change ) but once prices start falling, people rightly exercise caution and stop buying as the longer you wait the cheaper they get. Personally I would be holding tight right now, let the prices hit rock bottom, they will be bundling all sorts with them soon to try shift the stock.

3060Ti down to £399 from what I can see today. Will await further deals.

£400 for '60 class card is still horrendous IMO, bear in the most popular card on steam is the 1060 which went for around £250 at launch which ended up competing against the RX 480/580 which typically retailed for about £20 less and had a full 8Gb of ram. Also consider that's only £250 less then a MRSP RTX 3080 so for the 3060Ti to makes sense it needs to retail between £250 and £300.

Agreed it's still horrendous but at least prices are going in the right direction at least.

No, it is not a good buy, it is that way because of the past crazy two and a half years. The MSRP of the 6800xt when released was $649 or £540 at today's exchange rate. I personally would not pay another £110 for a card released two years ago that's being replaced possibly in the next six months with a better price/performance version.

Mining isn't likely to pickup until crypto winter is over - last one was like 2-3 years long
Nvidia are trying to slash their orders but TSMC won't let them, a shortage there won't be, unless they try to artificially create one but then all they'll be doing is cutting their own sales
