So , apperantly that this beastly card, can run 4k butterly smooth , it's performance is surely future-proof . But for how long? When will this card become dirt cheap?
Most likely never. There's a reason those cards are $1200 and if there's a market for them, they will always be that price. Maybe in like 10 years you'll be able to get one for $200 but by then something ten times as powerful will be around.
Dirt cheap? Hmm you will see them gone from the market before they become 'dirt cheap'. Nvidia usually very clever about this stuff. They will stop production few months ahead before launching new product. So when they launch new product not many will be on the matket. The shortage actually can lead to price increase as well like what happen to titan black. So for those that hoping to get one of this card new with cheap price....well better stop hoping. If uou want it cheap look at used market.
