[Reddit] GPU prices are trending downwards

In the process of selling my PC because my GPU died.
Would love if there was an affordable way to keep it alive.

I'd imagine it'll get a liitle better. Shortage will still be a bitch, but there's not going to be miners poaching cards and the scalper market will be much smaller without said miners.
Probably not, there has been plays to keep Eth under 3K but it won't last long, once it's on track to 4K again, people will rush to scoop up GPU's to mine on.
I was caught up with the SLI hype that I bought two 760s for my main (in 2013 lol). Glad I did because the first card died, but my second card is still chugging along.
No.
Mining demand is dropping.
Many cards are nearing their cut off line on profitable ROI before ETH will switch to PoS model making GPU mining unnecessary.
There is a clear surge in used GPUs propositions on sites which sell these. Mining rigs are being dismantled.
Half a year from now I'd say.
I've never seen the abbreviation GPU mean anything other than graphics processing unit
Just to be clear is the production volume of chips still the same as it was 2019 and it's just higher demand caused the shortage? Or is production also lower than 2019?
On Amazon the prices are still trash and manage to get sold out anyway, It doesn't even seem that there are GPU sold by Amazon itself but only third party. From what I see the situation is getting worse and worse... I hope I'm wrong :/
With the mining boom coming to an end and the Ti's launch, I definitely have seen where people have had an easier time getting their hands on GPUs in the past week than the past 8 months.
AMD has also ramped up production it seems. It's become easier to get a card from their site in Europe, their shitty webstore notwithstanding.
AMD CPUs are also down to MSRP in Europe, seems they've been able to produce more of everything lately.
Normally I would agree, but coming off of e3 and everything on Gamepass and all the acronyms being thrown around it was a temporary lapse.
Anecdotally I've noticed the trend just seeing the success people are having in the various stock tracking discords I follow. Either more cards are making it into the hands of regular gamers or the amount of people willing to spend ridiculous amounts on these cards has peaked and the market no longer supports selling a 3080 for 3x its original cost. A ton of people getting the 3080ti and 3070ti from the evga queue lately as well.
My guess is by the end of the year getting a GPU will be comparable to getting something like a XSX today. In other words it is doable with a minimal amount of effort, but not quite as simple as walking into any store at your leisure.

Cmon Supergirl, have a heart!
this is really the perfect response lol
At the very least, prices have stabilized at the top for a couple of months now. Seems that there's less and less people willing to pay the premium prices these things are running for.
Still a long way to normal prices. Gotta keep waiting.

Desperately praying for these crypto idiots to lose everything so we can partake in our hobbies.
That might be true but it still scares me. I'm also not sure what the warranty situation is at the point either.
If this GPU shitshow isn't done by the beginning of next year then I'll just order a cheap media PC from Cyberpower and have them throw in a 3080 to use in my main PC.
China's crackdown on BTC miners have about zero effect on GPU availability.
You can't mine Bitcoin on GPUs.
But in general, miners will be hoarding hardware resources for mining irrespective of short term hits to that market (like the one caused by china cracking down). Cryptomining is still on the rise and will be for the foreseeable future unfortunately.
When it comes to GPUs it's winding down already and will likely get back to before 2017 state in half a year, after ETH 2.0 release.
I really hope so, but I have a terrible feeling it will drag on longer than that.
indeed, especially if it isn't the damn flagship at that price.
I don't think it will. In fact it will likely lead to another crypto hangover with loads of 30 series cards being sold on 2nd hand market for 1/3 of their actual MSRPs. Retail won't be able to hold onto the current prices due to that either. I also kinda wonder if Nvidia expects that and this is the reason why they are likely to skip 2022 and wait till 2023 before launching next gen of GPUs.
Trending down, but still not reasonable, and availability continues to be a problem in most regions.
As noted in other threads, it won't stabilize until this fall/winter, and by then, nVidia and AMD will already have new cards loaded in the chamber.
Money Grab refreshes will be the main point of order before channels get loaded with used RTX 3000 and RX 5000/6000 cards. Then we'll start hearing about how amazing the RTX 4000 and RX 7000 cards will be. Heck, the rumor mill is already churning on that.
Count on it. Manufacturers realize they left a lot of cash on the table in the early months of this hardware cycle.

Huh? Literally all of the 6xxx cards sit on the shelf at my local MicroCenter for days on end.
They will until the market is no longer willing to pay those prices.
Anecdotally I've noticed this the past week while looking to buy a 3070 from resellers after selling mine a month ago.
I sold to a miner for 1550 and am seeing them go for as low as 1250-1300 on Kijiji in Canada today.
