Can someone tell me what happened with AMD's rx400 and rx500 series? the GPU's just vanished and i can't buy a GTX 1050TI (too weak) nor a GTX 1060 (too expensive for my budget). Did AMD stop making them?

Yeah cryptocurrency miners buying loads of them. Sold out in most places, in others prices are higher than normal because of this.

The RX 500s are still being produced but it will take time for stores to get them back in stock cause they keep selling out, people probably pre-ordering them from stores too so they are instantly out of stock.

There is absolutely no chance for me to find a polaris gpu. i live in macedonia, southern europe, which is still in the stone age. no one ships products here, and i havent found a polaris gpu in any neighboring country.
