When the Gpu's prices will go down ?

[dave1983]

Until the Etherium Merger happens i don't think well see anything yet, Checking out Etherium Pages most of them are holding out until the last moment before they sell off their GPU's. The appropriate action would be to hold off after the merger see what the prices are like and the announcement of the 4000 series.

Prices are not moving too much at the moment retailers are showing hot deals but not really hot deals, 3080 for £700 isn't really what i call a great deal if after a few weeks they drop by £200. But it is a risk vs reward scenario on one hand the 4000 series is artificially reduced stock increasing the MSRP therefore 3000 series hold it's price due to demand, or they reduce it at a slow rate in increments which takes us into Oct/ Nov time. What i would prefer to see is at least 30% discount over the coming weeks of the 3000 series line so that people who have been waiting can actually get a reasonably priced GPU.

Just basing stories on as much fact as possible. The news is already awash with scaremongering and misinformation its unreal. I refer to sell offs as in second hand, used or auction places, so I made a fast python app just there (on the bay) and the whole of uk has 61 3060Ti's sold in the past two weeks. I mean I would hardly call that a flood of miner capitulation signals myself..



I checked back to when I was mining before the hikes, it went from 14p > 18p > 29p. The next one in September sees it hit 41p. For me that's a tripling not a doubling.. I'm sure others have had it worse.

My 'near doubling' is referring to the ~28/unit to ~52/unit increase announced today, that's all.

I'm not sure your python app will pick up the sales being mentioned, they're talking on the large scale, not ebay-esque....

Judging by the stock levels over the past 2 years the 61 you saw, could be all the stock allocated for the UK

I have never seen so many gpus in my local secondhand store, ranging from 3090 down. All what I would consider overpriced, although I am sure that they would say that you are paying for peace of mind and warranty. Personally I don't expect a flood of thousands upon thousands of gpus in the UK as to my knowledge none of the big mining firms have big operations in the UK with gpus to sell. I wonder how many of the overpriced 3000 and 6000 series were sold to individuals who decided to pay the extra above MRSP and try to recoup that extra cost by mining.

The script just bases a scrape on sold units filtered to UK and auction, a quick and dirty check for what you spoke of - was that just a drama-llama situation? As @ASMB says which I quote answers your theory:

Exactly, which is what I posted earlier, the influencers and hot air gamers were barking up the wrong tree for UK sales. It was the scalpers and retailers making bandit on the pricing. Whilst we cannot control the bedroom miners that bought another card and stuck it in their tower to ride the opportunity, large outfits based here will be very low. The only way to tell if UK retailers were shipping to miners would be if they fess up to it, or you can prove it otherwise? I fully expect China and the US would have this issue but they in another region entirely.

After some deliberation I brought the 3080 TUF at £699, 1 or 2 reasoning:-

Firstly everyone is expecting the 3080s to drop further I can't see them dropping anywhere near £500, you might see hot deals for £600 but once there gone there gone. And will probably go back up if they artificially reduce stock of the 4 series

Secondly the mining market crashed ages ago and most mining farms sold off prior to prices dropping therefore we won't see the massive flood of gpus expected in the next couple of weeks.

It's a massive gamble to wait vs limited stock and what prices will be, we might see 3070ti drop below msrp but no chance ot 3080s being below it.

AMD & NVIDIA Partners Ready To Offer More Brutal Price Cuts On GPUs In September, Current Cuts Not Moving Inventory As Expected

A few days ago, we reported that AMD & NVIDIA were prepping up new price cuts for their GPUs which would be issued by their partners.

wccftech.com

AMD and Nvidia GPUs inventories has so far failed to moved after first round of price cuts in August. Hopefully second round of brutal price cuts in September will move AMD and Nvidia GPUs inventories so I can get my MSI RTX 4080 Suprim X 16G card in a few months. But I wonder what will happen if second round of brutal price cuts fail to move AMD and Nvidia GPU inventories? I dont want to see RTX 4080 launch delay to 2023!

Brutal!

As long as you aren't able to get better than GTX 1060/ RX 580 performance for 1060 money or less the market will remain static.

Brutal!

They probably mean 2-5%


No one wants to pay silly prices for GPUs when there's no games out that need them anyway

 

[CashmereThoughts]

What is the general consensus on the prices at which one should buy current gen hardware? 3080 10GB £600? 3090 — 800etc?

I see a 3080 12 gb for 720 quid — is that a good price for it?

It’s difficult to judge properly because we were absolutely starved of any reasonable amount GPU’s on the market for reasonable prices.

It's a couple of years after release but you haven't paid scalper prices, indeed I would rather have the TUF at that price than the FE at MRSP, enjoy

6900xt at those price points

 

[ASMB]

We know that Nvidia has a large surplus of stock, and that is without knowing the surplus stock that the AIB partners are also sitting on. So there really is no need to rush to buy a Nvidia card, especially in the lower to midrange as many are still priced above MRSP. The 6600 at £250ish and especially the 6700 at £300 have been good buys and there was no need to hold back at those prices, even if they went down further they were a good buy at those prices. Personally for Nvidia I would wait until after the announcement of the next gen cards which hopefully will be next month, to see if prices go down further and what next gen features are announced on the Nvidia cards, eg will DLSS 3.0 work a lot better on 4000 series cards than 3000 series? Although for budget esport gamers especially a 2060 at £212 was a deal

If Nv are carrying too much stock will they delay till winter 2022?

Winter being December?

 

[Harlequin]

December 1st so yeah. Just delay as a paper launch would stop curent purchases

 

[gpuerrilla]

I think so, there is too much inventory about and up until now the drops don't seem to be getting many biters. I think those that wanted cards eventually got them by earlier this year, this meant the frugal and not so desperate left who have much better willpower. Now we are near to another launch people are holding back + the inevitable recession is kicking in.

 

[Murphy]

If Nv are carrying too much stock will they delay till winter 2022?

Even if they delay it's only going to push their problems down the road, wafer allocations are set months, sometimes years, in advance so if they delay a launch it just means they'll end up stockpiling cards. They may delay a launch by a month or two but i can't see them delay more than that as having cards sitting in warehouses costs money in itself.

 

[Twinz]

The investor call would be interesting if they delay launching new stuff (that has a good chance of selling) because they can't sell their old stuff.

"Our solution for not being able to sell stuff is to hold back stuff that would sell."

-Even better if AMD launches RDNA3 while Nvidia implements their no-sales strategy.
