Question When are the gpu prices going down?

[AlexTheFern]

Not necessarily gpus but also like every computer part

Not necessarily gpus but also like every computer part

When mining goes away/becomes non-profitable again.
When COVID goes away.
When scalpers get tired of making money off impatient people.

 

[AlexTheFern]

that sucks

 

[Zerk2012]

I would say never.

If I could accurately predict that, I would have won Powerball this week.

 

[AlexTheFern]

hah

 

[alceryes]

2-3 months after the top cryptocurrencies crash again (and don't rebound any more than a dead-cat bounce).

 

[AlexTheFern]

its the only thing I want to crash rn

 

[USAFRet]

If I could accurately predict that, I would have won Powerball this week.

I did win this week.
$2, but still.

 

[AlexTheFern]

isn't that the price of the frickin ticket

 

[AlexaKitty]

How are we supposed to know?

 

[USAFRet]

isn't that the price of the frickin ticket

Yes.
So I play again...

 

[AlexTheFern]

How are we supposed to know?

google maybe?

 

[AlexaKitty]

Why not google instead of asking here then?

 

[AlexTheFern]

thats what i said

 

[USAFRet]

And going to google will give the same answer as you get here:

¯\(ツ)/¯

 

[AlexaKitty]

When?? I just see you asking us when prices will go down as if we control the PC part market. You could easily google that and even then you wouldn't get a response because again: nobody knows.

 

[RadeonR9Furry]

thats what i said

I'm pretty sure she means "Why did you ask here instead of googling?" if you're asking others to google. Nobody really knows the answer to that question, we can only guess.

Crash again? When has it crashed before? Short term variations are irrelevant and long term there has been no crash.

 

[AlexTheFern]

this is confusing

 

[AlexaKitty]

The existence of this thread is confusing...

 

[AlexTheFern]

does it even exist

 

[alceryes]

Crash again? When has it crashed before? Short term variations are irrelevant and long term there has been no crash.

I guess it depends on how you define 'crash' but I think the only reason you're saying the above now is because it's currently riding high.
I mean you can technically call the 65% loss in value (Dec 2017 to Feb 2018) a fluctuation and you wouldn't be wrong but just because a stock (or in this case a highly speculative commodity) bounces back doesn't mean it didn't crash.

When manufacturing capacity exceeds demand and manufacturers need to clear shelves for new models.

Considering that demand is currently expanding faster than new wafer fabs and support components can be built, that is unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future if ever. If TSMC's 3nm and Intel's 7nm-and-beyond perform well, maybe bargain hunters will be able to get new-in-box old-gen parts at a discount in 2-3 years to keep all of that still-good-enough-for-most-people 5-10nm equipment printing good money.
