it allways happen from time to time, if you want cheap graphics card they will be coming soon on second hand selling websites, it's been a while i am looking for a 1080 TI under msrp xD

Anyway, i think it will be back to it's normal growth after a while just like you said, it will slowly rise again. Probably ^^ But i saw people making like dozen of thousand dollars investment in december that are in panick mode right now and trying to sell everything they have, so it's just getting the price down and down in escalation, when the craze will be over, it will rise again.
