graphics_cards Budget gpu's are getting hard to find

[XcrysizZ]

I was saving some money to buy a new gpu... A gtx 1060 to be pressice (that was 2 months ago) the card was on newegg on 320 us dolars. But when I check today a notice that the gpu I was going to buy now is on 450 dolars ?? soo I went to check for another diferent model of the gtx 1060 but if the card is not on stock is on a freaking top price 500 to up!!!

 

I also check the rx 480 (an alternative) and almost all models are on stock and the few left that are; are to much expensive.

 

Can someone recommend a card that its a good price and gives me at least 1080p resolution.. and obviously that is not on stock!?!

This is an effect of bitmining. Drives me nuts that regular people who want to game cant freaking find a nice graphics card. Also 320 for a 1060 was a waste 2 months ago. There were decent 1060s for 250. The prices went up a lot now.

Noooooooooooooooo.... Don't get a 3GB 1060 if you can help it! Just wait a few months till the mining craze goes down, and then get a GPU. If you need one now, then what games are you playing? A GTX 1050 Ti can handle all the newer AAA games at 1080p on med/high at around 60fps, and it's the only midrange card that's actually the correct price. Everything else has gone whack thanks to miners.

If you want a 1060 6g or an rx580(i think its better) for a fair price wait for ethereum to lose its value and the bitmining trend to die down. Its impossible to tell when either of those will happen but most bitmining phases die fairly quick. They are also making new gpus made for bitmining so maybe those miners will stay away from consumer cards.
