I would suspect a few reasons: 1. Mining profits being low for the past few months so mining wasn't a good idea for those just starting out, therefore less sales and lower demand, more supply = lower price 2. Lots of ex-mining GPUs on the 2nd-hand market further lowers demands for brand new GPUs 3. Speculation of next-gen GPUs coming soon
#3 alone makes me step back a bit and I think I'll wait for next-gen to come out before deciding on an upgrade option. Hopefully, GPU prices for current-gen would be even better by that time too! I just wonder if I can get a next-gen GPU at a normal price or will I be competing with miners again?

Hi Guys,
Seems the card prices have normalized a bit. Even 1080Tis are now around for 800EUR, 1070s for 500.
Has someone heard why this would be... temporary lull, or start of a shift in mining? I don't want to spend right now, but if it means saving 200 bucks then I should.
cheers Hold into your money, the prices still aren't normal and new Nvidia cards in Q3 (if you can wait that long) will force the price down further. GTX1080ti are 700 Euro cards maximum.

I agree with Paradaz. But if you really need a card right now (APRIL 2018) then get a Nvidia 1070Ti. This article sums it very well and goes along on what has been posted here: "Looking at the whole performance spectrum, the GTX 1070 Ti represents the best overall value."https://www.pcgamer.com/is-the-great-graphics-card-shortage-finally-ending/(PRICES AS OF APR 2018 IN US DOLLARS) Nvidia graphics cards GTX 1050 2GB: July 2016 MSRP $110, currently $140-$175 GTX 1050 Ti 4GB: original MSRP $140, currently $190-$225 GTX 1060 3GB: July 2016 MSRP $200, currently $250-$275 GTX 1060 6GB: July 2016 MSRP $249 ($299 Founders Edition), currently $290-$325 GTX 1070 8GB: June 2016 MSRP $379 ($449 Founders Edition), currently $489-$530 GTX 1070 Ti 8GB: November 2017 MSRP $449, currently $510-$575 GTX 1080 8GB: May 2016 MSRP $599 ($699 Founders Edition), revised Feb. 2017 to $499/$549, currently $600-$650 GTX 1080 Ti 11GB: February 2017 MSRP $699, currently $946-$1000 AMD graphics cards RX 560 2GB: May 2017 MSRP $99, currently $115-$140 RX 560 4GB: May 2017 MSRP $109, currently $150-$175 RX 570 4GB: April 2017 MSRP $169, currently $260-$300 RX 570 8GB: April 2017 MSRP $199, currently $305-$350 RX 580 4GB: April 2017 MSRP $199, currently $300-$350 RX 580 8GB: April 2017 MSRP $229, currently $327-$375 RX Vega 56 8GB: August 2017 MSRP $399, currently $630-$750 RX Vega 64 8GB: August 2017 MSRP $499, currently $900-$1000

I would wait for the next gen personally, depending on what you have currently. The GTX 1080 will be around two years old when its replacement comes out, if not older. GPU generations are lasting longer than they did in the past. Seeing that you may have to wait another 18-24 months before the replacement for the GTX 2*** generation comes out, I'd rather wait a few months and buy into the upcoming generation while it is new. The good news is that GPUs tend to be relevant longer than they did in the past. At 1440P my GTX 1070 can still handle practically every game maxed out with 60 frame rates.

A 1080Ti for 700EUR would be the absolute sweet spot. Sure the new series will be faster and better, but realistically for my gaming needs it would do the job just fine. Upgrading in/before summer seems stupid anyway. Not a time for sitting indoors playing games. I just hope there isn't another new coin coming that drives prices back up.

Bad news. BitCoin and Ethereum prices are creeping back up. Will we see resurgence in miners?

Prices at my favorite online seller is back to December prices. Now whether those prices were inflated to begin with, I'm not sure, but at least it's not stupidly-high like just a few months ago! Unfortunately, RAM prices are still quite high, about 75% more than when I purchased my RAM kit in 2015

I check GPU prices and Bitcoin profitability often -- waiting for prices I'm willing to pay.
Thing is, for AMD GPUs, it might just be better to wait for the next iteration (maybe called Navi) -- rumored only 8 or 9 months away (early next year).
Rumor is that Navi will give RX Vega 64/GTX 1080 performance for about $250. If true, a no-brainer buy for me.
Could be true. Lately, AMD has liked to release their "popular price" GPUs ahead of their "high end" GPUs -- because more folks buy "popular price" than high end.
AMD Computex Press Conference in roughly 13 days may give some clarity.

Isn't the next-gen nVidia GPUs almost out as well anyway? Founders edition July, 3rd party versions Sept-Oct
