Rtx 2060 price drop?

[GeneralGusher]

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows when the price of the rtx 2000 series cards will drop? I have a gym 1050 and it’s suffering to keep up with games these days. Also does anyone know how much the price drop will be? I was hoping the 2060 would be somewhere around $200

My guess:

 

Used prices will drop slowly, as with every card.

 

For new prices, nvidia probably has a new card in the works, that will replace the 2060 soonish.  Looking at the 20xx series, the xx60 card took aouther 4 ish months to come out after the first few cards.

I wouldnt look for a 2060(note what I am about to say may not apply for everyone)

I got my 2060 for around 500-600 CAD and the new 3070 (the 2080 ti equivalent with less VRAM) is also around the same price.

Just wait a little more till October for the  3070 launch and get that as fast as you can.

You won't see much price drop until nVidia launch mid-tier RTX3000 series card. Even if they have price drop, it might be for only up to USD50, as the card is still consider to have high value. Your only best bet if AMD launch their Radeon GPU, which may affect the price of RTX2060.

So would it be worth it to get a used one instead?

Ok so I think I’ll either wait for a mid tier one to come out or I’ll just buy a used one if they are not too expensive

Hmm... It's very hard to say. Due to the fact that RTX2060 and its super counterpart are still in high demand, so I guess it is a viable solution, but you'll probably still won't be able to get an RTX2060 that cheap, unless of course, everyone is buying the new RTX3000 series to replace their old RTX2000 series GPU, which, might take a few months to get their price drop significantly.

Good point. I guess it’s just a waiting game now

then do what you have to do to earn some money. assuming you are at a legal working age and have a job, put aside a little extra if possible. remember it is still the 1st of September. you have the whole of this month and a few more days to save up enough money.
