When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

I didn’t read the article but is it down to currency conversion like what happened with FE cards in UK.?
Basically that's what happened, just adjusting to currency. That's why it's funny.. basically zero discount and no signs of any real price drops.

Whereas price drops on ampere stock still have not seen any movement! #rtxfwends

I've now had my RX6800 for about 26 months.
Almost the longest time I've ever had a GPU.....

Yep, my 1080Ti might set a new record for me.
Then again, I don't tend to feel the need to upgrade on a regular basis anyhow. And with current prices, I don't feel the need to upgrade at all!

I recall you had a 5700XT? I never knew you had a 6800!

Good memory.
I sold my 5700XT and managed an RX6800 when OCUK did a drop so I paid £600 for my RX6800.
I sold my 5700XT on here and didn't scalp (That said, I still sold it for near what I originally bought it for which was about at launch)

this is the thing, graphics card prices havent gone down much at all. all that has happened is a new generation has come out and Nvidia have jacked up the price because they can. With a huge market share and no competition they can exploit the market.

They can't really. As I've said before when they start running out of cash they'll be forced to liquidate stock just to pay the bills, in the last year their cash reserves have been falling while the value of stock sitting on shelves has been going up.
Yes they're holding onto stock but they can only sustain that for so long before, once they don't have enough cash to the bills they'll have no choice but to start turning that $5bn worth of stock into cash.
They don't have any right to obscene margin, it's time market forces give us some equilibrium.
Aren't margins down this year compared to last?

They can set the price anywhere they like, sure, but that doesn't mean they can sell any amount of them at any price. The higher the prices, the fewer they will sell. These things no longer print money.

£699 and they can take my money for a 4080. But offer expires 2023. Won't be interested come 2024 as by then might as well wait a bit longer and go 5000 series which will have DLSS 4.
DLSS 4 will be locked to 5000 series. Not only will it be a substantial increase in fps and image quality, it will also improve your gaming by inserting not just fake frames, but fake key inputs

The company's margins are down because they are sitting on $5bn worth of stock that they aren't selling, they don't release details of what an individual product's margins are.

true they do not, however setting the price sky high for cards because they can is a disservice to the consumer in a cost of living crisis. i'd expect a bump on prices from the last gen + inflation but when prices almost double you have to think this is to please shareholders and nothing more. it should be consumer first rather than shareholder first. pleaseing shareholders will alienate your market resulting in people not buying expensive cards ultimately yeilding in less profits for shareholders. its a lose lose situation.
Yes, from fake frames to fake input is the next step.DLSS 4 will be locked to 5000 series. Not only will it be a substantial increase in fps and image quality, it will also improve your gaming by inserting not just fake frames, but fake key inputs
Never mind aim bots, Nvidia's expertise in AI will play* the games for you. No more tedious key presses or mouse clicks: no more RSI; be the envy of your peers while Nvidia's revolutionary DLSS plays the game for you!
*The phone's auto suggest had put down "pay" instead of "play". Maybe the word Nvidia triggered it?!
And DLSS6 will play a video of the game for you at 999fps 8k! With Nvidia no more playing fatigue!

That’s amazing. That’s the only card worth buying this gen for both manufacturers. Nvidia crippled the Vram BUS on lower tiers so effectively a 4070ti downwards would choke on 4K resolution much sooner than for example a 3080/3090.
