The market for mid-range GPU's has inflated like the market is about to collapse.
In February/March timeframe:- GTX 1060 6 GB cards were selling for ~$250-$400.
- GTX 1070 8 GB cards were selling for ~$350-$450.
- GTX 1080 8 GB cards were selling for ~$600-$800.
Now:
- GTX 1060 6 GB cards are selling for ~$300-$800
- GTX 1070 8 GB cards are selling for ~$500-$900
- GTX 1080 8 GB cards are selling for ~$550-$1000
I read up on a few forums and reddit, and I guess a lot of the 1060's and RX 480/580's got bought up by "miners" (data miners?) . This reduced the supply for those mid-range cards so now people are paying more for them. This has made it easier to inflate the higher tiers too, such as the 1070's and 1080's.
Here's to hoping that I'll be able to buy a new graphics card by Christmas.

Possibly. I somewhat anticipate Black Friday/Cyber Monday being the main catalyst for reasonable pricing, but we'll see.

Soooo, I complain about this and then I get an email from EVGA that the card I want is now available for $269.
I was completely irresponsible and just bought it on credit b/c of my experiences in February. lol

FYI, I'll be paying this off half now and half later, so I guess not completely irresponsible but close to it.
