Speculated prices of future cards and by when

aldoggy

I really want to upgrade to either a 2070 or 5700xt but really cant at the current prices. Does anyone have any insight into when the prices will drop, by how much, and generally how to call these things?

You can get a 2070 for $400 now.

I think you'll have a hard time getting it much cheaper new since there aren't a ton of RTX 2070 made any more. If you meant RTX 2070 Super, I'd imagine they'd drop a little in price around Computex in June if Nvidia launches Ampere gaming gpus then and if say the 3070 ends up a significant bump in performance over the 2070 Super for $500. Though at that point you'd have to consider if it's just better to buy a 3070 for $500 than a 2070 Super for say $420. Of course, no guarantee there even will be Ampere gaming gpus, maybe Ampere will only be an HPC architecture just like Volta was.

The market is very competitive and volatile right now. Nobody specifically called when or how much the price of the 2060 would drop by, but Nvidia chopped $50 off the price tag to compete with the 5600 XT.

 

The only time you can guess when prices will drop is when a competing product enters the market, and even then you can't know when or by how much the prices will shift.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

From what I have seen for the most part prices don't really go down anymore, at least not by a lot.  Usually when the new card comes out, the old cards drop maybe $50 and they just sit at that price until the inventory runs out.

Typically cards will only price drop when a direct competitor or a refresh of the lineup comes out.

 

When a new generation of cards come out, there's almost never a drop in MSRP from what I recall. Any price drop is because the store wants to make room in its inventory.

Yeah, seems like after a successor launch you get a couple of weeks for old inventory to clear out where you get a price break before the cards become rare and even more expensive. Though I wonder if the more expensive part will keep up now that multi gpu is dead, since I think a lot of those higher prices might have been driven by people wanting a second 780 to SLI after Maxwell came out for example.
