Q2 2019:

GTX 1660 = RM1000-1200
RTX 2080 = RM3500-4200

Q1 2021

GTX 1660 = RM900-1100
RTX 3060TI = RM2000-2500

We can see for upper range GPU, it has dropped about 40-50% of the price, however low-mid range, price didn't drop that much

? Your point is?

Wait for the newer midrange. Prices will drop when they start being irrelevant. Even the 1050 ti is still capable in modern games

I bought 1060 6gb for rm530.

wait till u see older cards like gtx750ti where the price increased

low-mid cards, price didn't go down that much. mid-high, the price dropped significantly

that just goes to show the mid-high are intentionally marked up higher at launch coz its not the mainstream market. Gonna be tough waiting for their breadnbutter low-mid to go lower than that. When the next-next gen come the cycle repeats

yup. there's too much gap between gtx 1660 vs rtx 3060ti, since that they have phased out rtx20xx series. Can't wait for rtx 3050ti

Not bad for a 2nd hand price.

The funny thing is that the best cheap GPU is still a RX480/580, which itself is a card dating back from 2016

Low end GPU hardware has been stagnated for quite some time, even AMD's low/midrange GPU offerings are just as bad as current nVidia ones:



Even worst still is that VRAM figures have not been increased at all, with 4GB VRAM is still the norm even on those low end GPUs

Either buy used GPU, or just forget about PC gaming and go console instead (considering that the GPU in those new consoles are equivalent to a RX5700XT/2080 Super performance-wise)

Too bad it's still a 6GB card, wish it was a 8GB card considering that there are quite a few games that can easily go over the 6GB VRAM mark

possible. but i think it will be stagnant, since mid-high range cards already dropped drastically.

For pc, no point to go lower end. It is midrange or high end.

yup. but the recent release of RTX3xxx, showed that the price was not that bad if compared to the previous rtx2xxx launch, in terms of price per performance.

Get high end cards then.

yup agreed. but with this price going on. upper-midrange cards seems to be in good price. Waiting to see rtx 3050ti's price when it launches soon.

yeah, 8GB would be just nice.

agree bro. unless they just wanna use the pc for data entry / surfing or playing solitaire

yerp. seems mid-high to high range card are considered feasible

wait larh new models aint coming that fast

good for mid-low end buyers also, their cards got to keep value and not depreciate like shit
