When should I buy a new video card with the crypto currency craze?

[robbor]

I'm looking to buy a 1060, 560, or 460, but the prices are through the roof. Should I cough up the extra dough or wait a month? P.S. I live in the states

With the prices for the AMD cards that are available it is very silly to get one now. If you need a video card now, look for a used one in your area, just make sure you see it running first.

And chances are, that used one will have come from a miner that just about ran it to its End of Life.

Looks like the cards are available at normal prices at least for now https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126207&cm_re=RX560-_-14-126-207-_-Product
