They were one of the reasons it began inflating, but as their interest cooled off, the prices didn't follow that back down. Nvidia's current model is probably based on that increased cost, so they've committed to a strategy that makes it hard to slip price reductions through channels (or are just unwilling to follow the market back down).
Is it better for them to take back returned inventory, or cut their profit on the ones out there?

#4Let's see if this translates into a price drop. I have been wanting to build a gaming pc but the prices for high end graphics cards are absurd.

#6That's not an inventory problem, it's a pricing problem.

#8Seriously? I find this hard to believe - prices of GPUs have been ridiculously high (much higher than at launch) for so long precisely because the supply was so short.
Pretty much every supplier I've seen would either sell out any high-end Nvidia GPUs almost as soon as they got them or would ramp up the price more and more.
This is either an incorrect rumour or some very weird shitty strategy by Nvidia that backfired hard (I lean towards the former).
Even now OEMs should have very little problems selling cards at (above) MSRP so there must be something more going on.

No. Gamers have always been willing to pay stupidly high prices for the latest and greatest hardware going back decades. Nvidia has just optimized the price point.

While GPUs are still used for some mining, a lot of miners have moved past them. Bitmain, the company that makes most ASIC mining chips, is valued at $12bn..
