Sapphire's RX Vega 56 Pulse will become available on February 12th

that's not absolutely true. Those vega gpu are very power hungry, not very efficient to some extent and not too much profit over RX 580's so , undoubtely it will be sold out, but i don't think pro-miners will go and get this card.

Price to performance value is not that great.

it really depends on what you are mining, for example mining eletroneum with a vega cards gives you exactly 2 times the perf.
because miners aren't stupid and config their cards power isn't too high, as the main reason for the power is a stock voltage being too high.
 
So is mining the cause for all of the massive price rises in hardware lately? GPUs, memory etc?...

No. Memory prices are because Apple is using so much for their stuff that supply is limited. That bumps up the price of all memory, inc GPUs. Mining has caused GPUs to rocket and Brexit that actually hasn't even happened yet caused the rest.
 
Yeah, I was just wondering that same thing. The price of the last GPU I got (asus1070ti strix) has almost trippled.

The fires at the Thailand/China factories didnt help either. With such high demand, they still haven't full recovered.
