$5000? That's pretty steep.

its a new low since the mining craze for this specific card. there is sometimes a value to buying this over a gtx 1080 even at the same price

I know its a new low, but to say this is a deal aside for the miners and a select few with specific needs, this is definitely not a deal.

 

And let's not forget, black friday is coming up!

 

Cough, cough, i want a new a 8700k....

deal =/= value

can we really call it a deal when it's the price they where SUPPOSED to be from the start? I mean it's not like they are on a sale or have some kind of combo, like the 799 Vive/1070/FalloutVR bundle where you are saving 200+ dollars off the retail price of the components alone and getting a free game.
