GPU Pricing

[Aidan Hartline]

I have been planning on building a new system and selling my old one (The one im using now), but I am being completely screwed over because I cant find any reasonably priced GPU's. The only current Viable Option out there I think is the 1050ti. And all the AMD Cards are jacked way up because I would have gone with a 570 if the price wasn't screwed all the way up or maybe even a 580. So my question being, When is it expected for the GPU prices to drop? Plus Coffee Lake came out and so now there are even more options.

The price drop is really not expected any time soon

Get a 290x, it's 1060/580 performance at a reasonable price (sub 200)

apart from it being disgustingly power hungry under load.  i agree, that match the 1060 and 580 very closely give or take in performance numbers but the amount of power a 290X or a 390 consumes is terrible.  i used to owned a 390 (non X) and it demands at least 350 watts to itself under full tilt.  so a bare min power supply is like 600 watts bronze.

 

right now thanks to miners, to get a card a a reasonable price, you are looking at used and 4GB cards.
