The price just goes up by over 100 from one day to the next even though digitec doesn't have the product? Looks like digitec is saying that if the others have exaggerated prices, they can do the same. Note that this exact card was sold at a lower price on release, so how did it get to this price?

Question

Answer

Digitec makes prices according to the market. The rising bitcoin price is bringing crypto miners onto the scene who, depending on the bitcoin rate, are willing to pay up to 1000 more than the recommended price for a GPU. And the large demand, which is far from being met, further amplifies this effect. Asus has already raised prices before, and as a logical consequence, prices are also rising at Digitec. It will probably take a few more months until the situation calms down and the prices have fallen back to the level of the manufacturer's price recommendation.
