Has it even affected that tier of card? I thought it was pretty much just 1050-1070 tier stuff, specifically the 1060/580 tier that got hit the hardest.

Seriously. When I put new RAM in my first personal PC like 4 years ago, it was like $20 for 8GB. When I built a PC in spring 2016, it was $45 for 8GB. I checked a few months ago because I was gonna dd another 8GB to my PC and it was like $120.

The only 1060s I've seen that were around $200 were the 2GB versions. Or 3GB, I forget exactly.

I bought 16gb of ram for $160 a couple months ago and that same pack of ram is at $200 right now.

1080s should be priced reasonably.

Somehow the 1080 is worse at crypto mining than a 1070.

Just the 1080 though, the 1080 Ti is good for mining.

Who is everyone?

And when talking about gaming, it's always the higher-memory card that is the focus, unless stated otherwise.

There's a famous YouTube channel about pc building/gaming, and he put out a vid recently about how expensive it's getting because of crypto mining.

It'll be the same as the other entries, I'd wait another year or two for a new card.

I need a new computer anyway. I'm using a 7 year old power supply because my original died and I had to take it out of my old pc. it's an 850 instead of a 750 though so hopefully it'll last

They're good for mining asic-resistant coins like ETH.

You typically don't use them for Bitcoin.
