Retailers are not the only ones trying to make a quick buck at the dwindling stock and skyrocketing prices of Vega GPUs: leaked invoices show that even distributors are beginning to inflate their prices. One entity, MA Laboratories Inc., is quoting $675 for a reference-design Radeon RX Vega 64 SKU, which is normally priced at $499.



Can AMD do anything about this? It can work with AIB partners to significantly increase production to bring down prices. But that would be a huge gamble, which will either work, putting cards in the hands of gamers at the prices they were promised; or won’t, by creating more miners; or worse still, end up as bankruptcy-causing unsold inventories, if the mining craze were to somehow subside.
