We’ve seen the prices of graphics cards head back to normal levels in recent times, thanks to waning cryptocurrency demand, and this is a trend that’s set to continue according to the latest from the GPU grapevine – with price tags set to drop by around a fifth this month.

That’s the skinny from DigiTimes, which has its ear to the ground in the graphics card supply chain, and cites sources who point to a ‘cryptocurrency mining chill’ weakening demand for GPUs to be used in mining, with video cards expected to see a resulting average drop of about 20% as July progresses.
