GTX 770 4GB prices much higher then before?

I was looking to finally get a second 4gb 770 so I could do 2way SLI with the one I already have. But when I finally go to look for prices I am suprised to see that most places like Newegg are out of stock and when I look anywhere else they are SUPER expensive. When I bought the GTX 770 4GB I have now it was $340, but now its $450+ for the places that even sell it anymore.

Has the item been discontinued or something? Why is it so much more expensive now? Even when I go look at pcpartpicker.com it does not even LIST a GTX 770 with 4GBs.

EDIT: I bought the EVGA FTW 4GB card btw

The 770 has been listed EOL (End of Life) by Nvidia, meaning production and shipping will stop. That would explain the price increases. People who own 770s looking to SLI are making the card have some demand, however, with no new supply, prices increase.

I guess they sold out. I don't they they are making anymore Kepler GPU's at TSMC in Taiwan.

Aw that sucks. So I guess I should probably just try to sell the card I have now and get some other card? Should I still try to pursue a GTX 770 4gb for around the price I paid for the first one? I was hoping to buy a higher resolution monitor once I got the card too.

I would recommend trying to sell the card and get something like the 970. Nearly 30% faster than a single 770.

Do you think the GTX 770 4GB will get cheaper any time soon? Because if not I'll just wait for the 980ti or something.

Not likely, if anything prices will go up a bit more before they start to fall.
