@Reavern says it best about avoiding the $AMD $NVDA GPU upgrade and therefore the PC upgrade cycle. Until the inflation in GPUs end, upgrading is off the table."It's amazing the way history repeat itself, even in the digital age. The reason why graphic card prices are so inflated right now are because of e-currency miners buying up GPUs for mining rigs. If you know the history of Gold Rushes, the people who made a fortune weren't the gold miners, they were the shopkeepers, bartenders, and prostitutes who catered to the gold miners. For example, a simple metal pan that miners used to pan for gold jumped from 20 cents to $8. A single egg cost $3, which is more than a dozen eggs cost today! The market is exploiting the foolish greed of e-currency miners by inflating the price of the graphic cards that they use to mine. The average e-currency miner isn't going to get rich, NVIDIA and AMD will -- and PC parts stores. Normally I wouldn't care about greedy idiots getting conned, but unfortunately, it's affecting gamers -- at least those of us looking to upgrade our gaming PCs right now. I can't wait until e-currency crashes and all those idiots are broke. It's inevitable. Let's just hope that when it does crash it doesn't bring down the whole economy like the real estate crash did. People never learn, especially greedy people."Per gamespot, here are the GPU prices:GPUMSRPStreet PriceNvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti$700$1,350Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080$550$1,100Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti$450$800Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070$380$900Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060$250$400Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti$150$185Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050$110$140AMD Radeon RX Vega 64$500$1,500AMD Radeon RX Vega 56$400NAAMD Radeon RX 580 8GB$229$540AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB$200$495AMD Radeon RX 570$170$476 AMD reports results on Tuesday.
