To Hell with those games, I'm looking for price drop -20% at least for old tech. Really they do everything to sell those cards at irrational prices. Next we will get what? Free weekend trip if you buy a GPU?

Unfortunately the price of DRAM alone makes decent video cards at least 50 euros/dollars more expensive than they used to be. Memory production capacity would need to double for this disastrous situation to change. It's all thanks to the people who eat smartphones for breakfast. No amount of ram chips delivered is enough for the phone manufacturers. Of course the mining craze didn't help either, sucking in GDDR specifically like crazy.

Funny part is, some websites (TechSpot, Forbe, and others) claim that there is an "Oversypply" of DRAM, and thus the price will come dow, like, where the $#!t are they getting those oversupply stupidity from!?

new GPUs don't have to be faster, just newer.

That's somewhat true. We need perfect 4k playback, better image quality, HDR supported everywhere and all current new codecs by hardware decoding or something newer not released yet for futureproofing. No pauses no slow-downs. Simple things to make life better.
