Bad news for gamer's as the prices of Graphic cards have skyrocketed beyond acceptable levels, due to the rise in crypto miners, which has caused a world wide shortages of Graphic cards.

Nvidia on the other hand is taking measures and has asked retailers to sell Graphics card to their audience and gamer's over crypto currency miners by limiting selling of Graphic cards to each customer just one.

Analyst believes that the demand among miners will continue to rise and further increase in prices as more and more investors jump on to expand their crypto currency mining operations

The prices in AMD Graphics cards are hit more than the Nvidia Graphic cards simply because they are more generally more suited for mining purposes.

According to TweakTown (link below), Nvidia’s GTX 1080 Ti which usually retails for $699 was being sold at $1600, while RX Vega 64 at a perplex $2100 and the medium ranged cards such as RX 580 was retailed at $600.

AMD is still silent on this matter let hope that they too like Nvidia can come up with something and help gamer's.
