Hi,

A quick search shows the reason for high prices. This is an older article but still holds true.

Hello, @JLMaloney. Welcome to Windows TenForums.

Yes, a rather seven-year-old article and unfortunate crisis. I would think they would have recovered by now, so not a factor for today. Shock news (no pun intended) always affects the market until they change the supply chain.

I understand what you're getting at overall, Steve, but what are the price hikes from the previous models to the new ones? If there's a larger and sudden surge, then that would be an indicator of gouging. That's knowing that new models are, of course, always higher, but at what percentage higher?

Also, it could be that the AIBs are passing on the blame to retailers/resellers, which is correct, but half-truth.

 

Tony, a 5% price hike never has and never will be considered price gouging, and you know it. You must be the only person on the forums that is not aware that dram prices have gone up exponentially in the past year or so, driving up production costs. In some SKUs they have put in faster ram, further increasing production costs. There is no there there, and you know that. All you are doing is trying to start an argument... again. I don't have time to participate in your little games.

 

Was Eyeing that Card or a 1070, but might have to wait a bit til it's in stock and affordable lol

 

Well put Steve*Wink

 

Oh? Then why answer my posts then. I won't play in yours either. Have a good night.

 

EVGA is low and I mean really low on PSU Stock too, I`ve never seen it this bad before and I have been an EVGA buyer for years.

 

I agree, and I am also a EVGA buyer / elite registered member on their site. Would think they would increase production a little on there products. Still waiting for one of there GPU cards to become available. I am on the Let me know when its available list. Dam miners ....

 

Mike, my experience has been that by the time you get the email notice, if you actually do get one, they are gone. See if you can figure out when they put them up and just F5 constantly. That's how I managed to get my pre ordered FTW 3. You'll have fun with 2 of them.

 

I am as well Mike and Steve is right.*Wink

 

This one is for my new build Steve. The one I am trying to get this time is a little different then the card I got now. *Smile
