So, we can expect GPU prices to go back down to reasonable levels? .... Until the next big mining craze anyway.

Better tell Linus to not start up his own cryptocurrency then  It'll be Cryptokitties all over again lol... (which I regret selling this little guy)

I love how the OP is just ghost and everyone is left in utter confusion discussing the semantics of what the thread actually is.  Great work.

Because GPUs will go down in price, resulting in you... Buying them for less money?  Wait maybe you buy a LOT of them expecting the price to go up because GPU themselves are the next cryptocoin?

 

 

Well, if the price is so high that you just don't buy, and then it falls to the point where you are willing to buy, then you are going to spend more money. It's basically what every sale is trying to do: get people to overall spend more.

There's another example of lower prices meaning higher spending, and people seem to get that one

There is probably a high percentage of people who would lose all of their savings, because $1000 in savings is so miniscule, not even really Rainy Day category for funds. But those who cant afford to lose that kind of money, shouldnt be buying anyways.

Buying a GPU is more likely to eat up all your savings when the prices are high though, not low

A lot of people are holding out on buying GPUs because the prices are so inflated right now. When the prices drop, many gamers will look to now upgrade their GPUs. I know several people who will buy a GPU once prices come down.

GPU prices have been insane for a while now. It's about time they come out (hopefully). I was fortunate to have gotten my GPU before prices began to skyrocket.

 

I've got some friends IRL waiting to finalize their builds and the only things they need are GPUs, especially 1060s, 1070s, and 1070 TIs. None of them want AMD GPUs though.

Yeah me too but the next one is still a bit off. Really need an upgrade on my gpu. Still using my gainward gtx760 and its starting to show its age. That msi gtx 1070 ti is one heck of a beauty.

most people were holding out on buying them at those prices so we were all actually saving money. If they drop i will be opening my wallet, so i get the OP.

those damn miners are pretty unpredictable. True that   

 

still in my country with the exception of AMD cards you can now buy Nvidia gpus and not have to sell a kidney and the used deals seem more reasonable

If you want to play games and require a good gpu, you have to pay for it, simple as that.
