Most likely. The card was listed as on clearance for $559. On top of that there's the storewide clearance item this week at additional 30% off, which was what the card was listed as at $391. On top of that I got the openbox discount which worked out to be 15%. Yeah the numbers add up perfectly now that I'm thinking about it. This was site wide, showed $391 online at every single store. Someone at corporate marked this card as clearance for some odd reason..
EVGA founder's edition. I'm certain this didn't last very long. I was lucky to be able to reserve the openbox one for in store pickup. They've deactivated most of their video cards for online reservation, the lone exception is the GTX1080, presumably because the miners aren't interested in 1080.
One above, here's another 😉
All Micro Center deals are in-store only, with perhaps a couple of exceptions here and there. It is how they operate, undercut everyone on some items (namely processors), but their accessories (PSU, coolers, etc) are always higher than everyone else.
Yeah RAM prices keep creeping up. There was a set of G Skill 2x8GB set for $99 not even a month ago. Now it is $125. My last set of 2x8GB DDR4 was purchased last December for $75. This has been the longest period where RAM prices remained elevated, but I still remember paying $200 for 3x2GB triple channel set on that Bloomfield i7 build which hurt the most. It was probably around 2009. The lowest I remember paying for 2x8GB DDR3 was around $50, probably couple years ago.
