Prices here in Japan are ridiculous on all graphics cards. They're still fairly niche for people into gaming, certain creative pursuits, and, I suppose, crypto. They're also in short supply so they go to a lottery system in many sellers and to scalpers at the rest. Even then, the price can be what feels like spending double or triple that. I have a 20xx (2080, I think)? and I just don't see myself upgrading anytime at all soon. It used to be that it was cheaper to use something like NewEgg (who have their own problems, apparently), but as the JPY and USD went further apart, that stopped being worth it. Sorry, makers of new games, I can't afford to buy a PC good enough to buy your games.
