Thought Id take a look at what pricing people from different areas are facing right now for midrange cards with the Ethereum mining craze in full swing.

I'm from Ireland. This is a RX470 at 500 Euro's (or $570 dollars)!!https://www.custompcparts.ie/video/graphics-cards/gigabyte-radeon-rx-470-g1-gaming-4gb.ireland.direct.gaming.components#.WWEx_Uk2yUk

Anyone beat that. I think it's about twice the normal cost.

The bitcoin craze lasted about 3 years if I remember correctly. Was supposed to be the currency of the future. When it fizzled out, the used GPU market was flooded with cheap used over-heated, worn out gfx cards. I don't expect this Ethereum/Bitcoin craze to be any shorter.

i guess it does count equally as much. With all the vendors running out of supply demand is pushing up pricing. i wonder how long it will last. Will anyone other than miners buy the mid level GPU's. Cant justify the price only for gaming.
