It's hard if not nearly impossible to find high-end video cards at decent prices. There's so much extra demand from cryptocurrency miners that gamers are having a tough time getting their hands on the product.

Here in Europe, the Radeon RX 580 costs around 500EUR and higher-end cards like the Radeon RX Vega 56/64 or GeForce GTX 1080 will set you back at least 800-900EUR. Unfortunately, Hardware.Info notes that prices of lower-end cards are now also trending upwards.

The site tracked the pricing of the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and Radeon RX 560 and discovered they're now 15-30 percent more expensive than a month ago. Basically, this is totally nuts and gamers can only hope that AMD and NVIDIA will be able to resolve this issue with the next generation of gaming GPUs.
