When do GPUs experience a price drop?

[Sphinx_Knight]

Assuming that tomorrow is the reveal of NVIDIA's new Maxwell chipset, can we expect an immediate price drop of older graphics cards?

Probably not. The price drop already happened when AMD launched their new cards

They don't drop rapidly, if you have your eye on a specific gpu and have a favorite retailer, just keep an eye on their stock; the price may or may not drop.   A lot of the radeon hd 7000 series cards didn't drop untill a month or so after the launch of the new series.

 

 Eg. The r9 series were announced September 25th, launched October 8th, and the lowest price for the 7870's were in mid-late November at around 140$ at ncix. (which is when I picked up mine)

They generally don't drop much unless they go on clearance.

What he said, they don't really drop unless they're getting rather old, or competitor releases new product with better pricing.

When u can actually buy the new flagship product you can expect a price drop of the current tier

The only time Nvidia GPUs will drop in price will be  when they do not sell more than AMDs or some other GPU maker due to the fact that the other GPU maker has a better product at a lower price.
