AU - Graphics Cards

[Siq]

Mainly towards Australian buyers, because I don't know a whole lot about it in other counties,

 

But did anyone notice or know why Graphics cards from PCCG have risen by $100+? Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 G1 Gaming 8GB was at $712 about a week ago, now it's at $849.

 

Mainly asking towards 1070's and 1080's. There were cards in the 1070 range of around $530-$700 mark, and now they're all up to close to $700.

 

I don't know a whole lot regarding the mining, but I saw a lot of people asking about RX Cards, that shouldn't affect NVIDIA's pricing a whole lot though right?

The amd cards were bought out so they moved onto 1060's and 1070's. Possibly 1080's too by the looks of it.

Lame, thanks for the heads up.

Also mining they are good for Zcash instead of Etheruim (but close performance)

Supply and demand... unfortauntley retailers (and their distributors) ARE taking advantage of customers and have increased their pricing. Someone along the chain of supply has increased their pricing... and the customers are feeling it.

Hopefully the manufacturers increase supply to match demand and the retail chain respond acordingly and lowers prices to April levels.
