When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

Should not close because gpus are not yet reasonably priced.
maybe you should go play some games on it then rather than trying to get threads closed for people who are interested in further price drops.

This is a fantasy as they won’t price what is good for gamers at a price most will pay. Now with AI the emphasis has shifted from diy pc market to one which makes them more profits sadly.

Well let’s hope someone builds an ASIC for AI then as I’m sure many are working on these right now then Nvidia and AMD can go back to gamers begging bowl in hand.
Pretty much ^^that^^. If and when new algorithms aren't cropping up as frequently, as in when there's some consolidation of what's 'best' for certain uses, people will switch to using ASICs.
The only reason everyone's using GPUs is because there's a need for general purpose compute due to the speed of iterations, once the workloads become better defined there will be less demand for GPU compute.

Fair enough I will go and play call of duty now and utilise my 7900xt with 20gb vram!You going and playing some games and leaving this thread is probably fantasy too

When undervolted I found the 7900XT to be as fast as my previous 4090 in CoD WF2 in 4k, rapid

You would think that "coming down" only means one thing, but I suspect that it's more complicated than that. It probably equates to how much it moves towards people's expectations.
The card I was interested in was the 4080. To me, the card is at least £400 over-priced in the UK, and in many cases a lot more. Yes, there have been reductions, but nothing like enough. "Coming down" for me would be "heading towards £800".
Having said that, I know that's not realistic, so I've abandoned the hobby. I will only buy a new card now when I am forced to.

Back again! I agree with @SpellowHouse I don’t think people are being realistic with prices. They won’t fall to £500 for a 4080/4090 - in fact gpus of this class haven’t been this price for over 6yrs.

£800 4080 then? Still pricey for most gamers.
not buying anything this gen feel its too far into this gen now and dont really need it, 5080 £800 probably come across well considering where its coming from

Still another 15months to go!
IMO prices need to come down by 20-30% across the board.

6800 XT prices have increased today at OC, so either the recently lowered prices were too low, or they have been made aware of the replacement 7800 MSRP
The class of gpu a 4080 is with 378mm2 die was being sold for £469 last gen for a 395mm2 die so not sure where you got you’re 6 year time frame.
