How fast do prices of GPU's go down?

[bitpacket]

If I buy a preowned 1070 G1 8GB for example at $250 how fast will the price decline?
I already know that if i buy a new one at $400, as soon as i use it the price plummets to $250 because it's now preowned.

But what about the value decay from there?
In 1 year, can I expect resale price to be around $200-250 still?
Or what affects the price. New generation of GPU's? Crypto crashing again?

Adding up on the duration of your GPU will also decrease its resale value.Its pre-owned when you bought it and its expected to go even more lower.

Factors affect price? Ofcourse,

GPU model
Operation Duration (worn out parts)

Not sure on what would be the precise price after a year but you should expect to be lower.

Can you give an estimate? How much did the previous generation of GPU's drop in price when the current generation came out? Did they drop off a cliff?

Some factors that may affects the price are as follows:
Longevity of usage
Physical/technical performance
New released model
Market price
Supply and demand

I doubt Nvidia is going to introduce a new generation of GUPs soon. You can scratch that out. Crypto crashing again is possible, and that would affect the price for sure, but I hope it won't happen any time soon. If you are going to buy a preowned card, pay attention because it is important that the owner is not a miner himself. If he is, the chances to be able to resell the card after a year are not high.

Prices of GPU mostly depends about crypto market condition. This old 1070 what is 250 usd today, can be worth 700 usd tommorow if there'll be profitability per GPU like 5/usd day

[Alucard2425]

I think it depends in market conditions in crypto market before Q4 2017 the market is in hype and the GPU price had a BIG leap in its original price 

[Badman-Crypto]

It completely depends on the demand for old GPUs in a year from now. Maybe if crypto goes bullish again and GPUs for mining are in demand like 2017 then price may be the same as now. Otherwise I would expect some decline.

Nvidia cards hold value very well like Apple products. 10 series cards still hold a lot of value despite being 3 years old. More like only a 33 percent drop from MSRP brand new. Just go look on eBay and Craigslist

Ya if we go into a bull run and short supply video cards can double in price.

AMD cards did drop off a cliff

[CjMapope]

ya its hard to say
we can have one new coin pop up and R9 370's will be boss again for a while, resale price will rocket for a few months
we saw it with ETH, and even with RVN (and a few smaller coins+progpow) last year a bit
could happen again
Nvidia holds best chance long on that as well imo
Tho i still fire my R9 270x here and there as well, does ok on XMR

[Fredomago]

There's  chances that it will not move that much, considering that the market is rising, there's possibilities that mining equipment will be profitable again, it's hard to decide as we see what happen previously when most people start to buy those mining equipment and after that the value falls hard, make some more reviews and assess if how can you manage to adjust in case another downfall happens.

Im with those sentiments above about Nvdia cards which do holds resale value for a couple of years and i totally agree with that if you try to compare
it with AMD cards but you can actually look on current marketplaces because resale value will surely vary.

if you hope that the price of your GTX 1070 will cost around $ 200- $ 250 this year it might be possible, but if you wait continuously maybe the price might be around $ 150.

some of the things that affect the price of the graphics card are technology developments that make the latest graphic cards come out so that the price of the old graphic card will go down

[dentolas]

it is natural that if you use the GPUs further, they would loose another portion of it's value. The exact price is relative to the intensity of use you apply to it, and the general price offer of used GPUs of that model at the time you sell...
Latest generations of GPU have a long expiration date... 2 years ago I've bought a few 1050Ti for an experience, and just noted a few days ago, that they are actually more expensive now, than 2 years ago (new)
On the contrary of ASICs, these don't get immediatly outdated when a new model is out....

[shiming]

This needs to consider the market demand. When the market supply exceeds demand, the price falls, but when the demand is greater than the supply, the price rises. The mining market was very popular last year, and the price of video cards has risen sharply. But this year, the market has changed a lot.

And may be $ 500 easily. No one knows. As i see in my city right now - new GPU costs as it was 2 years ago, preowned - 20-25% cheaper. Everyone who knows - never`ll say it to someone - he will loose money with it.

To be honest, how much you can get from 1070 G1 8Gb in a month? If you divide let say $250 per GPU, you need to make $8,33/day after the electricity cost. That is only for 1 GPU, if you have 5 GPU, you need to calculate how much the electricity fee you should pay. If you can make that money, then you can choose that GPU. But if you cannot make that money, then it's not worth it for you.
You cannot expect the resale price to be around $200-$250 because the price will always go down for half price. So the price would be at $100-$150 per GPU.

He doesn`t say anything about 1 month ROI. If i`ll see anywhere such a profit - i`ll spend all my money buying GPUs 
And also i cant understand, why are u halving price. And for what time it is halving?

[kotikadze]

It seems to me that now we need to purchase a new generation of video cards (Nvidia 2060 / 2070-2080) This will be reasonable, as new algorithms will be released, which will be made for RTX.

[adaseb]

GPU prices are actually very stable. Usually Nvidia GPUs and Intel based CPUs hold their value extremely well.

The higher end gpus like the 1080Ti however depreciate more than the mid-tier 1070 or so.

If you can manage to score a few 1070 from the second hand market and use it for 6-12 months, you might be able to resell them at break-even. Even if the crypto mining GPU market never recovers.

Only equipment that might lose value are risers. Those usually become useless once the crypto market dies but everything else will hold value.
