MSRP for a 1080Ti is supposed to be $699. They haven&amp;#x27;t been available even in large bulk purchases at that price for a while now. I don&amp;#x27;t see it going back down any time soon.</text></comment>

It will take time to recover inventory, but the alt-coin market (basically, not-Bitcoin cryptocurrencies) has died down a lot and the rush to acquire mining capital has likely diminished.&lt;p&gt;6 months to a year, maybe?</text></comment>
