By the time prices drop to a realistic value, it will have been by the time the 4000 series comes out a long with a 7000 series drop. I am just skeptical after so many "The prices might be dropping!" videos. At this point I think demand is just lower because they know new products are on the horizon.,(reply>), Well idk about you but even before these talks of price reductions started I've noticed a dip in prices in my local stores in Europe, which hasn't happened in what seems like forever. Also Intel is soon releasing their own lineup of GPUs and their initial plan is to compete for mid-range level GPU market, considering they're just entering the market they'll not be doing it for instant profit meaning these GPUs should be quite affordable.,(reply>), at this point what is realistic though? I mean people have shown they're willing pay over a 1000 dollars for like a midrange GPU. Manufacturers would be crazy to leave all that potential money on the table. don't think we'll be returning to the "normal" pricing scheme any time soon, if ever. MSRP for the 4000 series will be "artificially" inflated by this recent "crisis" in GPU land.<br><br>if you look at pricing for current GPU's though they are coming down quite a bit. still fucking expensive but at least you can get like a 3070 super for under a 1000 euro (instead of the 1200+ they were asking a while back),(reply>), If I had to guess, I think demand is probably lower because all of Russia just got cut out of the market due to current events
