A month has passed, and we've yet to see any price drops from the original.
When are the mighty GPU overwatchers expecting price drops? Perhaps based on GPU releases over previous years.

When you start seeing healthy 'In Stock' levels across all offerings.

My guess is that you may not see a lot of movement until after the holidays, sales here and there notwithstanding.

After AMD Vega launches, which could be as late as early 2017. You won't see any movement (except up) as long as they can't keep the cards in stock. I actually paid less that the current price for my MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X because Newegg has jacked the prices up since I bought it shortly after launch.

at least the holidays. why bother putting them on sale when they can't be kept in stock and are fetching higher than MSRP right now.

wait for black friday type sales before you can see anything like that. and then maybe only game freebies depending on sales.

Sigh, I was really hoping not everyone would think the same way about this, but it's probably true. Business is business, and nobody will drop a price for something, unless they absolutely need to, or it's at their advantage...

I wonder by how much could I expect the drop, 50USD? 100? Currently the price 100USD+ above the release day MSRP. 150USD in my country

I think you'll see prices for the most basic cards (MSI Aero, etc.) drop down to MSRP in a month or so. At least in the USA, probably not in countries like India where the retailers mark up everything as far as they can get away with.

That's what I'm hoping for, I usually end up getting Gigabyte versions of cards, they run cool, and sell for quite low prices. They are however a little bit more loud than competitors, on load.
If Nvidia wouldn't allow other companies to put aftermarket coolers and sell their boards, they would probably keep up the prices till the very end, like Apple. Except luckily Nvidia have ATi to compete with.
