The price of the NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1070, GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti and the AMD RX 580, in Amazon Spain, are starting to skyrocket, adding to the time of Amazon USA and the thing looks in clubs.
Thinking of buying a graphics card? Well, I'm sorry to tell you that you are very late, because the prices that were seen last week in Amazon USA have reached Amazon Spain. The NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1070, GTX 1080 and GTX 1080 Ti are starting to go through the roof and the AMD RX 580, which were already expensive, are now even more expensive. The factor is that brands are selling directly to cryptocurrency mining farms and these do not reach the market, because it is more interesting to sell six thousand graphics to a buyer, than to distribute them for a thousand or two thousand stores (or less) and that they take two weeks or a month to sell.
The AMD RX Vega 64 at more than $ 2.000 and the EVGA GTX 1080 Ti at more than $ 1.600 at Amazon USA
The RX 580, can be found for more than € 500 right now on Amazon. The ASUS is for € 400, but there is no stock and the Gigabyte is the cheapest, for € 470 and we see that there are between one and three in stock right now on the market. The situation is not much better in NVIDIA, since some models of GTX 1060 6GB spend the 400 €. Very few are saved from this price. The cheapest is Gigabyte's GTX 1060 Mini, but it is 3GB, not the 6GB model.
If we go to the NVIDIA GTX 1070, we see that these are for € 600-700. The three that are for about € 500, do not have stock, even those that are for about € 600 have no stock, only the Gigabyte Gaming 8 is the one with stock and is above € 630. The aberrational situation is in the GTX 1080 Ti, where all, except two models, spend the 1000 €. The Gigabyte AORUS is priced at € 940 and the MSI Gaming X is priced at € 890, but the rest is above € 1000, even the EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Gaming, which is not the most impressive model in the world. the brand is for € 1227.
The factor is that the brands sell the GPUs directly to the mining farms, since they save intermediaries and can earn more than selling them to wholesalers or retailers. They also enter the money earlier, since it is basically quick and easy money to make. The mining complaints are from users, brands and companies are delighted. TSMC, for example, will see how Bitmain duplicates the wafer order, to be able to develop more ASICs for Bitcoin, so it will become the main client.
