It appears that the aggressive pricing and Ngreed is biting both AMD and Nvidia in their tails. Thanks to the crypto currency markets drop, the demand for high end GFX and mining cards has dropped significantly, leaving them with stock. This has resulted in the biggest reduction in GFX prices since the Pascal release.
I might grab a GTX1080ti mini, if the drops continue like this. Also the new Volta cards will be released soon® and that can boost reductions even more.
It was about time. Both manufacturers have abused the market to bully hard core gamers with ridiculous price tags. 50% over retail was no exception.
Karma is a bitch
