Since my next major purchase will be an AMD Vega or Navi graphics card, I'm following graphics card prices. I don't want to pay a premium over a "normal" list price (i.e. before Cyptocurrency mining raised prices) to replace my current card that works for everything.
Prices are still high. But, there has been a noticeable downward trend very recently (at least at Newegg and Amazon where I look most often).
The high prices on a given model are still ridiculous. But, the "special sale" prices are merely high compared to a reasonable "list price".
Custom RX 560 should sell for about $90-$100 is $125 on special sale today. Roughly 30 percent too high. But, in absolute dollars, its not bad if one needs a new low end card.
Custom RX Vega 64 should sell for a list price of about $550-575 (my opinion). The cheap one is $700 today -- roughly 25 percent too high.
Of course, long term as cryptocurrency mining declines, prices for models that have been on the market 6 months or more should be below list when on sale. Don't know when that might happen.
