If bitcoin doesn't come back, they gradually lower the price. It's better this way.
Otherwise miners will gulp the stock, then you beg Nvidia to make more of those cheap nice cards.
I was seeing comments like this on YouTube: I wish Nvidia had higher msrp, so we would pay them instead of paying scalpers
Nvidia has been doing this long before mining was even part of the equation and no they wont be lowering prices, why would they ? Just take a look, most people on here still expect AMD to drop prices even though it's painfully obvious they're not the ones who started these absurd pricing schemes.
Does anyone remember when they sold GK104, a GPU that was clearly not even close to being a flagship as an x80 class card for the same money as the previous GF110 GPU which was in fact the largest chip they could build ? Then a year later they sold the actual best GPU they could make for 1000$. Well, I sure do remember, then they did it again with the 1000 series. No one was buying Nvidia cards to mine with them when that happened, there was no inflation, no shortages, so they just genuinely tried to rip you off as much as they could.
And the pressed loved them, no peep about how they were screwing over the customers with the new pricing and how they essentially doubled the price of their flagships. You don't like the current GPU segmentation and pricing schemes ? Too bad, you're about 10 years too late to complain about that because this crap didn't start now.
