Yes the cards seem to be shooting up. I paid 250 euros however MSI have the same card listed on amazon with no delivery date for around 200.
I could have gotten 5 cards with 1000 instead of 4 - but i have took the gamble and hopefully my cards will arrive soon. I got the cards from a large business so im sure i can get a refund. I cant say the same for the motherboard and case.
