I've not seen any price reductions yet, but there's talk they might be coming down.  In case anyone's in the market right now.

A report by Taiwanese outlet China Times, covered by ITHome, claims that Asus, MSI, and Gigabyte are all planning on clearing inventory of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2070 SUPER, and other Turing graphics cards to make way for the arrival of the Ampere RTX 30 series cards in Q3 2020.

    Nvidia still hasn't officially announced the new microarchitecture. They don't seem to have any sort of big announcement in the works. Covid-19 is preventing big press events but they certaibly wouldn't sit on new cards just because of that. They'd do a virtual event or something.

    New models Turing cards have been announced in the last few weeks. It is pretty unlikely that the AIB paertners would be engineering new cards when production of the underlying chips is about to end, or already has ended.

    As to price drops they generally wait till the new cards are on the way, as in announced with actual release dates, to mark down the older cards.

    So in short if you need a GPU don't wait 6 months hoping for a bargain.

    In the meantime, check out this sweet deal on an empty Titan RTX box.

    Well, they're having some kind of do on May 14th where they'll have some kind of announcement of something, maybe.  I guess we'll see.   I already put in my order for a 2080ti, but thought this was worth sharing.

    The price may drop; and certainly over time, they will drop in price.

    Doesn't always make something a good buy. That's for you to decide once you see the new stuff.
