I didnt check US prices, but in Canada 570/580 are close to 150% of msrp. Stock is better these days, but prices still....
 
did this happen in the last 6 months? Prices have been rediculous for months. Just checked ebay, and used 470's are going for more than they sold for new, still.

makes sense, i was literally a day or two away from buying a 570 about that time for 230 CAD, when all of a sudden DDR4 and 570s were out of stock, everywhere. Now i'm just annoyed. I dont want a 560..

I wouldnt either. I usually see R9 390's for under $200 on craigslist from time to time. Id pay $239 tops for an 8gb 580, so instead i bought 1080s.
 
Crypto Mining is the culprit. While its died down from the days of not finding a single AMD GPU to buy near MSRP, I think prices are still notably higher than those $200 RX 580s (Or were they 480s? Can't remember.) with 8 GB of memory.

I so wished I brought one of those cards then....and the RAM....
 
when the rx580 first launched I got one for $219 on ebay for 8GB, I sold it for $350 a month or two later.
 
Yeah the price hikes are ridiculous. Paid $220 for my Sapphire R9 Fury brand new on Newegg earlier this year. I could easily sell it used now for a lot more than that.
 
Price's are going to remain stupidly high until the current cryptocurrency bubble pops.
