I can basically wait forever. No problem here. lol

I waited 4+ years, I can wait a bit longer...
I'll only upgrade when I can get at least double the performance of my current old 1080 for no more than what I paid for it back in 2016.
(Which should be possible with a RX 6800 if it was actually at MSRP)

Yeah, and i saw pigs crossing the sky today. lol

Yeah, and the money is also well tucked in my wallet and it will stay there until those pigs manage to land.

Current gen might return to MSRP once next gen has been out in large numbers for a while.
If mining still is even remotely profitable on current gen in a year or so...who knows
Dont count on ETH as the end all for mining either. Things can change quickly.
A $1200 4080/7800 will still sell well in a year or so is my guess.

Here in Portugal is the same.
If prices dropped, it was around 5 to 10%, no more than that...
But there are more (overpriced) cards available than before.
A good sign?...

As in EU without being in it we are at MSRP, and so the +25% for EU seem true as it is around the taxes % that we don't pay at all on EU's price.

I don't blame you, i did not bothered with the 20xx or 30xx card ranges, and i have no doubt these prices will never go down anywhere near normal levels and will shoot back up once the RTX40Xx cards are launched, but i have made my peace, and out of curiosity i was just looking at some of these supposed recent price drops of the RTX 3080 card, £850 was the cheapest i could find today, so for that type of money i could grab a PS5 and a steam deck, if i were inclinded to spend £850 on anything. lol

Doom and gloom everywhere. All it needs is a little more nudge on eth price for miners to flood the second hand market. And when that happens at least for a while I believe strongly that we will get below msrp cards.

450€ for a 6600 non-xt on average amazon average prime reseller... is fraud :V and +25% my ass

Used market is improving and miners are already panic selling their cards. I already seen few 6600xt's for 400-420€.

2nd hand gpu from miners = junk. the 400-420 shitcards are fake new cards (aka come from PRC miners) of XFX. Better wasting money in a hooker.

It's just the memory on used miners cards you need to be careful with, the chips will be like new pretty much.

I wouldn’t trust an ex-mining card, but I would consider getting a 4080 at an inflated MSRP, not gonna lie.

or hiking....well...if you can call that hiking 😉

That path looks more trustworthy than a secondhand card after a mining craze.
