Strong demand from the cryptocurrency market is once again driving up video card prices to ridiculous levels. TechPowerUp writes AMD Radeon RX Vega cards are nowhere to be found, or you have to pay over $1,000. Similarly, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is now selling for a staggering $900, which is way over double as much as the model's $380 introduction price:
Prices of the recently-launched GeForce GTX 1070 Ti ($380-ish launch price) cards are touching, $900; those of the GTX 1080 (non-Ti) are over the $1,000-mark, while the GTX 1080 Ti is out of stock in many places. Prices of the GTX 1060 series is still under the $300-mark, but are beginning to rise.
NVIDIA gpU pricing going bonkers
