You got shafted...I paid $180 for 16 gb Gskill 3200 RGB in October.

Paid $110 January last year for a 2x8 3000 mhz kit

1200 mhz, virgin


also how does a year and a half ago compare to october?

nah they wont go any higher,
samsung just finished s9
now the supplier can go back to focusing on selling parts to msi/asus/giga etc. to manufacture GPU's again.
majority of miners arent gonna buy up another batch of 6+ especially if they made their ROI already.
most wannabe miners are already selling their GPUs to get their ROI faster
now yer left with casual miners that started mining late, and still needing gpus
& non mining ppl that need the GPU.

many distributors have predicted late this yr for prices to fall
samsung actually started production of gddr6 in early feb if I remember correctly

yeah but prices wont go any higher, it'll only drop
ex. GPUs arent being insta soldout nemore, and soon there will be more supply than demand causing prices to drop

they arent instanta selling out because no one is selling at msrp

Yeah it wasn't sold at msrp prices for awhile now, and it was still insta sold out on back order etc. Now GPUs are actually available, and not instantly sold out, which will eventually cause prices to slowly drop. It won't make sense to raise the price higher and higher when they can't even sell it right away nemore. Especially when next gen GPUs are coming out later down the year.

I want to sell my 970 now.

What is going on? I've been out of the loop for years now. Why are gpus so much now?
