Newegg lists the ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX Vega 64 (STRIX-RXVEGA64-O8G-GAMING) graphics card at USD $589.99. This card was made before ASUS decided to re-brand its AMD Radeon graphics cards under the AREZ Strix brand, necessitated by NVIDIA GPP. The post-rebrand AREZ Strix Radeon RX Vega 64 (AREZ RXVEGA64-O8G-GAMING), is priced at $749.99 on the same site, a whopping $160 premium for what is basically a sticker. So basically the consumer is getting stuck with a higher priced item because of NVIDIA's former GPP program.

    I'm guessing this is more in fact due to newegg's supply and demand algorithm since it sees it as low stock since only one batch was made before Nvidia pulled the plug.
