>waiting for GPU prices to drop back to normal

Or, you could always buy an APU.

This is the new normal for gpu prices. It’s not going down

>>93046402 (OP)

Just get last gen stuff. 6950xt for like half launch price

If it's not going down, then I will take you with me and we will go down (in minecraft)

>>93046402 (OP)

I caved because my 980 finally shit the bed

bought a mined on 3060 TI for $280 but lucky its still under warranty

>>93046402 (OP)

There are already a couple of new/unused 7900 XTX and 7900 XT cards selling below MSRP at places like Micro Center.

As well as Newegg.

>>93046402 (OP)

There are also RTX 4080 AIB cards selling below the $1199 reference MSRP as well, such as the Gigabyte Eagle selling $50 below.



Might not be a huge price cut, but it could be a sign of bigger cuts to come.

>3060

Might as well buy another used 980.

It'll come back down once NVIDIA realizes no one is buying their shit. It won't be as good of a deal as 10th gen was at launch but the prices won't be astronomical like they are now

No the fuck it won't. Nvidia doesn't give a shit that nobody is buying it, they're just gonna stop making so many because the demand is low. Gaming graphics cards are a luxury product, and Nvidia is content to control the market to their desires because they know their competitors do not have the equivalent feature proposition that they do.

>Settled for an Intel GPU

Nvidia just stopped making 4070 cards because they don't sell. Instead of lowering prices, they prefer to just stop making new ones.

There is no turning back.

Dedicated GPUs are a niche. Most people who play games are doing it on consoles, mobile devices, and even laptops with integrated GPUs. There is no real market for low to mid range GPUs, and even if there is, it isn't worth wasting time and effort on that market.

the most popular steam card is now a 3060, before that a 1060... jewvidia are just pricing them like the kikes they are and people are finally putting a foot down.

I'll probably grab a $300 6700XT if I had to buy one today. More than I need anyway, new games are gay baka

but /g/ told me it was because of crypto miners and gpu mining is virtually dead

Cool story bro. Current Nvidia/AMD prices mostly just aren't working well outside a mining boom.

>leather chinkman got greedy

they should only sell enterprise gpus



gamers don't really need anything more than Amd or Intel. Nvidia can't really sell something that isn't a housefire to many gamers



After GTA VI is released is when most people will start upgrading again

Stopping making GPUs will eventually hurt their bottom line. Investors will force them to make something that's profitable. You can only make bad decisions for so long.

nvidia will be fine because of AI, the people who should be shitting themselves are companies that makes games for PC that can't easily pivot to console (because they're in the wrong genre or whatever). the PC gaming market is going to collapse over the next few years as everyone's unreplaced hardware starts dying.

i think this is the most likely outcome. they want to push cloud gaming anyway
