1080ti prices

[StoryVFX]

I’m wondering if the prices will go down on the current 1080ti’s after the new gpus are released on 20th of September, and if they do, by how much will the price go down?

Are you trying to buy a new card or used?

New probably not, but I wouldn't be surprised if used does.

[StoryVFX]

I wanna buy it new of course

It may depend were your from.

 

Take for example an EVGA GTX 1080 ti SC2. In the US msrp is $749. Today at Newegg they are $670. 

 

If the price goes blow $600 I will buy another one.

We don't have Crystal Balls, but we can assume in all likelihood prices for used 1080Ti will go down because a bunch of people will try to sell their old cards to buy the latest 2080Ti and basic laws of supply and demand tell us that if you increase supply of a good (all else equal) that will decrease price of said good. 

 

As to how much it will decrease there are too many unknown variables, for example IF the RTX 2080 will perform better than 1080Ti s and IF the RX series will be readily available (no supply shortage) near the recommended price point and IF reviewers and consumers are impressed with the new tech (DLSS, AA with tensor cores, and RT). Notice that is a lot of IFs and IF they occur then yes prices could decrease by very sizable amounts in the used market. So ...we wait and see.

by the way IF all the IFs occur the market for new 1080Ti s should also see a decrease in price because of reduced demand from consumers (again basic supply and demand). But actually you could probably get a much better deal if its used, especially if you only want it for a few years (you will need to take precautions to 1) be safe 2) stress test the card's benchmarks and fan speed and look closely for any physical damage. The main risk is getting a mining card, but if the card performs flawlessly it will in all probability be good for a few years even if it was used in mining.
