Is This the Beginning of the End for Crypto GPU Price Hiking? - Gigabyte AORUS RX 580 for $209 on Amazon
This news post really does serve as a symbolic gesture for the state of the GPU market in the last months (going on to a year now, really). Mainly due to increased demand from crypto users looking to farm and mine their way to financial security and shortages of GPUs, the time to buy a new or even second-hand, latest generation graphics card hasn't been the best. However, now, we're seeing something that wasn't seen for a long time: actual decent pricing in graphics cards. It's still a process, but in that process, this Gigabyte AORUS RX 580 deal at Amazon is the proverbial pin in a haystack.
The Gigabyte AORUS Radeon RX 580 8GB (GV-RX580AORUS-8GD) is available now from Amazon for $209.99 (after a $20 mail-in rebate). If you're in the states and looking for a graphics card that guarantees 1080p performance at max settings, or a decent 1440p experience with somewhat reduced IQ, this could be the graphics card for you - and judging by its Best Seller status, it may very well be the same for many other customers. And for now, there's even stock - how about that. If you're shopping from outside the states and still find this deal mesmerizing (here in Portugal a similar graphics card would go for $410 so... yeah. Take the deal). Here's hoping this is a sign of the incoming times, and not just a freak event.

I wonder if prices will drop any further on remaining stock as the release of the RTX models gets closer?
wash,
rinse,
repeat
be happy :)
Otherwise I would recommend people get those $250 1070 Ti's on eBay...
690$ for GTX 1070 (non Ti) - how about that? Ukraine is the land of opportunity... hate this country
I just purchased a GTX 1070 for $400 :(
and its not like its going to be a perfect release of 7nm on the exact release date.
probably till 2020.
SO until then they need to release 12nm vega or Polaris competing in lower & mid range for the time being..
