As a gamer I found this...Its really pain in the butt when The gpu prices rose...today i just got to know the real reason why the market price is increasing and its very dissappointing to me.

The demand from cryptocurrency miners is a huge factor behind the incredibly high graphics card prices we see right now. In an attempt to combat this phenomenon, Nvidia is asking its retail partners to limit the maximum number of GPU sales to two per person.

Many cards are currenly on sale at more than double their MSRP. The GTX 1060 6GB, for example, has an average asking price of $530, up from $250, while the GTX 1070 is a whopping $890, almost two and half times more than its $380 MSRP. Moreover, some online retailers are trying to take advantage of the mining craze by selling graphics card bundles—again, at a much higher MSRP. Newegg is selling bundle of six GTX 1080 Founders Edition cards for $6699.

The company want to priotorize to the gamers by selling directly from it's website.

Selling no more than two graphics cards per order isn't something that Nvidia can force on retailers; it's only a suggestion.

While selling the cards higher than the suggested retail price might sound like good business for Nvidia, it knows that gamers are its core market—and a loyal one at that.

I am also a gamer but seeing rise in gpu is most painful to me as well as most gamers.
