One problem, I dont have $700  meh

[Merrymaan]

Where did you guys find this 1080ti for $699?? I cant find a card that cheap anywhere.. (At least in stock)

[sazrocks]

Mining. 

 

Honestly, if you can wait till the end of this year with your 960s, then do it.

[General Winter]

1060 6gb typically go for $300

 

1060 3gb go for little over $200 on average

[CryptoMatt]

if you wont pay more then MSRP and its more then MSRP you answered your own question 

[ExplosiveSloths]

Not sure for 270.

If it's a 6GB then it's not terrible.

I got mine at Micro Center. It looks sooo pretty lol!!

If your SLI GTX 960s are still working fine for you, hold on to them. I've run the same cards (mine were 4GB each) and I only upgraded because I wanted better support in non-SLI titles.

[Mick Naughty]

Paid 709 at micro center but that was for the cheap pny blowers. 

[dizmo]

Just grab something used.

[Zodiark1593]

Keep what you have or buy used. Not a good time to buy PC stuff.

[Zodiark1593]

Good grief, it looks like I could sell even my 960 for nearly the price I bought it for...

[TheSuspect]

Gtx 1070 is $500 more than usual on amazon. Hilarious 

[IRISHIwazDrunK]

I had a couple builds on PC parts picker jump a good $300 US almost overnight. So much for my $700 budget build

Holy shit, you are correct. The cheapest GTX 1070 in stock on Newegg is $939.

 

What the hell is going on?

 

EDIT: And apparently they are going for close to $700 used on Ebay as well!

I am legitimately thinking of buying up the gaming PCs for sale around my area quick and selling out the cards. They may even pay for themselves

I am legitimately thinking of selling my used GTX 980Ti that I bought for $350 for like $600.

 

But then again, do I really want to be that guy?

 

Also, then I don't have a graphics card, LOL.

[Tiberiusisgame]

Yeah, as much as I hate to say it, I felt really good about my recent purchase that I thought was overpriced when I saw this spike. Glad I didn't wait.

[Bhav]

Well the 1080 Ti I got for £720 is now £770. But there are still lower end blower cooler alternatives at the £700 price point.

Cheapest 1060 3gb used is $240

[Crunchy Dragon]

Cryptocurrency mining is the main reason GPU prices in general are so high. The 1080Ti is normally found to be about the same price as the Titan Xp from what I've seen.

So that you can get one?

[Sam Worthley]

Mining, same sorta thing as the summer from what I know.

 

[Prolly_dyin]

Card pricing and availability is nuts where I’m at in the states as well. There are 3 microcenters within 1-2hours of where I’m at. The best any of them have at the moment is a gtx 1060 running about $370 for the cheapest 3gb model they have. I’ve also been scoping out online. Prices for a non-ti Evga gtx 1080 today on amazon jumped from $540 this morning to $744 as of right now. Lol. looks like I’ll be waiting on my upgrade as well.

[Subtle Corruption]

Just forget the 1000 series exist and wait for Volta.
