GPUs cannot drop due to the nature of the market. Generally speaking, casing manufacturers (such as EVGA) buy chips in bulk from the chip manufacturers (AMD/NVIDIA) and sell the cards cased at a very low profit margin. In fact, such a low profit margin that it would be more expensive to case the card yourself even if you bought bare chips in the bulk they do since aftermarket casing is very expensive. The only way to get a real deal on a GPU is to buy excess stock of generation old cars which are sold at a loss to clear shelf space.
