yea, I was just looking for a new card and was in shock when I saw the prices.  What the heck???

The cryptocurrency miners are the culprits:

I think I'm beginning to feel like I'm living in some kind of alternate universe.

People using graphics cards to mine Bitcoins. 

Wait for the Bitcoin crash and you'll pick them up for peanuts.

 

Unless of course bit coins continues to gain. The cards could actually be cheaper now than in 12 months

Indeed... and I’m betting the Raiders win the Super Bowl next year!

I think what ticks me off the most is the idea that I can't just buy a video card for an upgrade and instead have to buy a bunch of other stuff with it as for a whole build. Fortunately, I bought a 1080 Ti SC about three weeks ago for $710 from Newegg before I even heard about this stuff going on.  Should have bought 5 of them and made some money.
