When the Gpu's prices will go down?

Like now! Question is do I buy 6800XT now or wait. Waited so long suppose can wait bit longer.
 
My thoughts would be this. If you waited this long, buying right now is bad. Reason being, they have announced a 6950 and a 6750 so I would wait to see how that rocks the pricing. Then you also should consider we are around six months from the next gen, only reason I would entertain this is the jump in performance over the 6000 cards is a good one (7700XT faster than the 6900XT).

I'd normally say it's that problem where you'd never upgrade because there's always something new coming around the corner, but now does seem like a time where some big performance jumps are coming on both sides

Exactly, we are 18 months into a gen with only six to go for the next; as the prices are still way too high you would only be kicking yourself if you see the 7700XT for £699 say and it beats the 6900XT that was going for around £1400 or the 6800XT thats going for £900.

Yeah I can imagine being someone who picked up a 2080TI for £1200 right before the 3080 was announced for £700......
Although soon after you couldn't get a 3080 to save your life in that case haha
 
next 3 months it will take a hammering prices will fall thru the floor .. b-coin is in retreat and gpu's just can't make money .. next month there will be a second hand surge .. after that free fall ....
 
There is a big potential for that and gamers may have a perfect time in september where too many second hand cards become suddenly available, retailers cant sell the fresh stocks, intel finally (yes finally) release any dGPU, and lastly 7000/40x0 cards launch with the regular punter being sick of GPUs to bother battling for another. :cry:
 
Sounds like a great scenario, although selling your own gpu to fund an upgrade may not be as rewarding as previously. And if people are considering selling in advance of a 7000/40x0 gpu after the last debacle...

A low price, funnily enough, may still be a comparatively raw deal when compared to previous.

Unless it has 16gb of vram. That answers all problems!

Basically that's my thinking. I do wonder if I shouldn't have bitten the bullet last summer and picked up even a 6600XT, since it would be about 2.5x faster than what I have and I'd have had it for most of a year by now... but having come this far, with the next gen being talked about... eh.

Well, I dunno. Offer me a new MSI 6600XT for £350 and I'd buy it and get 1-2 years out of it. Of course, what I actually want is a 6700XT or 3070, but those seem unlikely to come the sensible side of £500 for a while yet.

I would say so. Last year i got rid of my old MSI 980Ti on ebay for £240, earlier this year sold my TUF 3080 for £1100 on FB marketplace which i originally got for 650 here on OCUK. I probably i should've got rid of it earlier when CEX i think were offering £1400 for that model last year, but i mined quite a bit of profit with both 3060Ti and 3080 going together so it kind of balances out anyway i guess. I stupidly kept my Aorus 3070 (only overpriced card i bought @ 670) in the box unopened for months, i meant to use it for mining but never got round to it. Panicked and sold it on ebay just some days ago for £730 + 12 postage, postage actually came to 26 quid so made 20-30 profit taking into account the 80% reduced fees, dumb thing to keep it sitting there doing nothing for so long, but at least i had my money back and a tad more.

Wouldn't be surprised if prices drop another 10% and rather soon.

thing is people who bought with prices inflated just fueled it made them get away with it and they know they can get away with it knowing what people are willing to pay , I myself bought the 3080 FE £649 the AIB at the time were priced around £1200 and I refused to pay that totally not worth it over the FE

Looking back CEX at one point would have bought the FE for £1200 I could have used that to buy 3080ti FE £1049 or went with suprim x without putting any extra money in

saying that I will most likely get 4080 depends on pricing might end going with FE again the pleasing part is I didnt overpay for the 3080 so wont take that much of a hit also its paid for itself with mining :)

with the demand now lower look at the prices decreasing now

Got FE card at MSRP last week for my birthday so can wait till price's drop whenever that'll be....

Looking at the 4000 series to buy on release now, then get a whole new rig to go with it next year.
Have old i7 6700K rig at the moment that still gaming really fast with the new 3060Ti FE at 1440P / Ultra setting's in all my game's.

Glad I wasn't a sucker and bought a Asus 3070Ti for £799 lol.
