Used GPU prices coming down anytime soon?

It’s been what?

Couple of year's ago to find decent prices on used GPU’s?

Trying to get my hands on the RTX 4090 it’s at least still at retail or $2k.

Any predictions of when you think prices will go down reasonably?

Well it's still the second most powerful gpu you can buy, so it's unlikely to see much of a price drop until next gen.

I see your perspective.

it’s kind of ridiculous knowing that the RTX 5000 series is out but yet 4000 series are still at retail for used.

Hopefully things change 2026 whenever RTX 6000 series gets released.

I think I'm the only one left on planet earth with a brand new, unused 4090. It's a Aorus 4090 Master. ATM, I'm gaming with my 12900KS and Aorus 3090 extreme.....a legendary rig if there ever was one. The 4090 is still a beast and incredible card to own and I'll build a new rig around it next year.

It's not just your wallet, but your PC that has to be ready for a monster gpu like a 4090 or 5090. A new native ATX 3.1 PCIe gen 5 psu is a certainty, preferably one with a dedicated 600w 50 amp rail to the 12v 2x6 connectors and the full suite of protections...current, temperature etc. This is the safest way to look after your precious 4090/5090.

You'll still be paying high dollars for a 4090 even when the 6090 comes out especially with the top models from the big three....Gigabyte Aorus, MSI Suprim, Asus Rog Strix. But who knows about the future? There is a lot of politics around chip manufacturing that will keep things uncertain, supply difficult and prices high. Get it while you can, I say. I don't want to say it, but I also own a Auros 5090 Master.

The new numbers released has shown AMD to be effectively dead in the gpu market and non existent in the consciousness of gamers.

well at least the 5080 has got cheaper here in Europe
they used to be like 1300+ euros and recently ive seen some going for under 1000

but then again its only 10% faster than 4080Super

They are selling 5090s brand new for just under 2k now, both B&H photo and Newegg, the Tuff version, but they are currently out of stock. I would watch them and sign up for a notification before buying used.
