"Just saw this going on the online market and had to share. Apparently, the whole Pascal gen (i.e. 1080/1080Ti) is getting the axe and prices are plummeting. Anyone think this is a fire sale for GPU enthusiasts or about to see a new gen GPU drop?"
"Dude, I think it's because of the new Ampere and Ada Lovelace GPUs hitting the market. Everyone's upgrading or getting the cheaper options, so there's a glut of older 1080 TIs flooding the market. That's gotta be killing resale value"
"Dude, that price is crazy - I saw some 1080s for like $250 last week during the last round of miner sales. Think it's just NVIDIA getting rid of inventory as the demand for gaming GPUs dies down."
"Dude I saw the same prices at a local pawn shop, seems like Miners are offloading their old rigs since Ethereum has gone PoW. GTX 1080 TI is getting old, not enough oomph for modern games anymore."
"Dude, it's like everyone's finally waking up to the fact that Ethereum's GPU prices are plummeting because of the shift to GPU-mining being obsolete. Plus, the 10-series cards are getting replaced by the 40-series, so it's not surprising to see them drop. $300 sounds like a decent deal, though."
