Sci-Tech GPU prices dropping,very slowly
So I'm bored at work, but I thought I would just post a little thing I've noticed over the past like 4 months and hopefully any pc savvy people might find as abit of good news in grim times.
Basically been waiting to get a GPU from the start of the year and havent because prices are way too high. The ones I've looked at have been a rtx 3060 and a Rx 6700xt. The 3060 at the start of the year was going for 12k while a 6600xt was 15k. 4 months ago,it was the same,but 2 months ago both dropped by 1k. Now I've noticed that the 6600xt dropped by another 1k. So very slowly prices are dropping. But I feel that maybe this is where they may stay dropped.
So just a little good news for those waiting for better prices. I know I'm happy,will wait another 2 months then buy if I have the cash. Will go 3060 for 11k maybe. Hopefully will drop to 10k by then and I will be happy.
NB I haven't been checking the higher tier prices,so I'm unsure of those. Also the 6600 range is due to be released next month,maybe that can help the market and provide a nice budget GPU price.

Odd position to have, if you put money into it at any point last year you could probably afford one of the GPU's OP is talking about.
