GeForce GTX 1080 back in stock at Amazon

For now, at least.

If you've been awake and anywhere near the internet over the past six months, you'll probably have heard how the rise of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin has had the unfortunate side effect of driving up the cost of graphics cards all over the world. If you could find a high-end graphics card actually still in stock over the past few months, odds are good that it would cost you an almost four-figure price tag.

Fortunately, at least for now, you can head to Amazon UK and pick up a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 card for £509.99, which, while not the cheapest price it has ever been available for, is the cheapest it has been available for this year so far.

Sure, it's still going to cost you a pretty penny to get one of these things, but if you've been holding fire on a brand new gaming PC build it might finally be a decent time to pick up a card like this and get building. If Amazon isn't your thing, Ebuyer also has stock of the card at the same price of £509.99.

As for everything else the internet has to offer, you can check out today's best deals over at Jelly Deals, which include discounts on gaming laptops, Yakuza 0, Phantasm on Blu-ray and more.
