Monoprice has the ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 Ti DirectX 12 DUAL-GTX1050TI-O4G 4GB V2 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 for $231.99 when you use the 20% off coupon code "VS20"
That's crazy. I bought a 1050ti about a year ago for $105!
In lieu of bitcoin mining being unprofitable using GPUs, some alt coins are still profitable and so they are in high demand, just not for gaming.What is up with video card prices? I was looking after seeing this post and they are really high.

When Bitcoin was at an ATH of $19.5-20K, ROI on even an expensive graphics card, would have been 2-3 months, maybe 4, max.Nothing like laying out thousands of dollars and electricity to mine $5/day worth of bitcoin.
Yes, that was what my research showed... $5~6/day per GPU. I guess it works out better if you live in an apartment with free utilities. I just can't see the ROI, especially the next time difficulty increases. With electricity costs figured in, it probably takes a year or two to pay for itself.
For some of us, the cost of electricity is rolled into the rent, so I can be profitable, mostly regardless, but out of respect for my landlord, I won't mine if profitability goes below the cost of electricity.
