Back in January, there were rumours that last generation's RTX 2060 would be coming back to market to attempt to alleviate the stock issues that have plagued GPUs for months on end. Now, a report from Akiba PC Hotline indicates that an even older GPU, in the form of the GTX 1050 Ti, is returning to market in Japan.
However, the card has come back with a new price of ¥22,800 ($210). That's more than double the price of the card back in October 2019, at which point it was listed at ¥11,000 with tax - about $101.
A quick search at the prices of used GPUs on eBay, and this pricing makes more sense. The older Nvidia and AMD cards are still massively popular with crypto miners, meaning used 1050 Tis are consistently sold for over $200. When considering the massively inflated prices on pretty much all GPUs - even the GTX 1080 still sells for over $400 - this card looks good value in comparison, even though it shouldn't.
