>just build a pc bro
>>729174143Why is ddr5 good again? I still have ddr4 and it just werks for my non woke games made before 2017
>>729174143>2 sticks of butter now cost more than a PS5Bravo, Trump
>>729174143I just caved and bought a ps5 since technically they are currently being sold at a massive loss
CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES
I'm okay
>>729174667Just suck de benis xD
>>729174336It isn't worth it. Changing your mobo for 1% gains or 3fps isn't worth it. Better off buying a new GPU now before the prices are fucked.
>>729174684Clearly not if you're running such shit timings
>>729174336it's like asking why are SSDs good when you have HDDsthe order of magnitude isn't exactly the same but that's the idea anyways
I just find out my budget android phone can run PS2 games just fine, gonna get a game saar for $15 and play a bunch of games while lying in bed
>>729174859oh no! my extra 2fps! However will I be cool like framechasers now!
>>729174952At least enable xmp clown
>>729174143>build 5000 datacenter to make IA porn>nobody can own a pc or even a phone to use said IAThat bubble burst will be so fucking hilarious
Glad I decided to build a new PC in March
>>729175039It is. Why do you think it is showing 1600mhz?
well that was close lmao
>>729175125Your xmp table on the 16 GB kit says cl 14 but you're running jedec specjust keep the 64 gb kit in, there is no reason to slow down your pc on purpose
>>729174947Vice City chala bagundi andi
>>729174143>500 bought in the past monthYeah sure bro.
>>729175258Ram timings have never mattered in my testing on that 5800x3d. I've ran ram at 2133mhz and never saw any performance change.
>>729174143>you MUST buy the largest possible ram sticks >even tho no game needs anything close to that>you just must
>>729174143I'm so fucking glad I built mine a year ago, sucks to suck for everyone else
>>729174143>tfw 192 gb of ddr5 ram>4090 gpu>5.6 ghz clocked on my 7950x>24 tb of storage and another 40 tb of nas storageYes, stop being poor and brown.
Yeah it sucks ass but PC gaming at an upper mid-range and higher build level tends to lean towards adult age gamers. So sure the budget builds are dead for now but people doing upper-range and higher will just face tank the extra ram costs with their wallet.It's few hundred bucks. I'm not letting that stop a build.
>>729175536you are brown
>>729174143now post 4x16gb priceif you have a mobo with only 2 channels you got scammed
>>729175473Windows alone will eat half your ram on an idle system. If you have 64gb, then defender will idle at over 25.
>>729175447you were running the tests gpu limited, the cpu could never stretch it's legs and suck the cache dry necessitating faster memory
>>729175694Don't worry lil bro you can play on the cloud with your EBT card soon.
thats fine still not buying a console just to spite consolebrowns on here. if me owning a gaming pc makes you mad then that alone is merit.
>>729174143Bought these back in May. They are almost $800 now.
>>729175797channels barely made a difference
>>729175854If all my workloads are gpu limited then it doesn't matter and becomes an artificial scenario.
>>729175836only if you're a retard that has a shit ton of bloat
>>729174143stop being poor.
>>729174143Yeah, two years ago is when you should have done it.
>>729174143Glad to follow intuition back in 2024.This set is $700 now.
>>729175880yeah dude my PC will just evaporate if I don't put in the latest parts
>>729176004You do want to be in dual channel otherwise you are cutting your throughput in half.
>Sam Altman is still aliveDo you want a new PC or not faggots?
>>729176062Not me, I'm talking about your average person with a fresh windows 11 install or a gaming laptop that is bloated as fuck
>>729176252Your pc is a chromebook given to you by welfare.
Just be black and go into any sanctuary city and just take the ram.Nobody wants to be labeled as racist so nobody does anything about it.
>>729176018RAM speed matters on bursty stuff. Like asset loading and shader compilation and such. The typical /v/ workload isn't going to exercise RAM that much, but the latency is the most important thing for sudden unexpected spikes in processing. Sure, UE5 slop is still going to be stuttery crap, but if you have a simple way to make the stutters less common, might as well.
10 years ago $900 would get you a top of the line PCwhat the fuck happened?!
>>729176625crypto, AI and jew interference
>>72917662530 years ago a top of the line PC costs more than today.
>>729176625Nope, you'd get a pretty decent rig, not high end.
>>729176625Delusional.That would not even buy you the best CPU available at the time.
>>729176353only brown people care this much about "not being poor"
>>729176625The i7-5960x cost a thousand dorra on its own when it launched late 2014.
>>729176891I am just happy you browns now cannot afford a computer and PC gaming will forever be a white man's hobby. Go back to your shitbox Jamal.
my shitty old toaster still uses DDR3. just picked up 16 more gigs for $40
>>729176804What? I bought a 980 ti for $600 and that was the absolute top of the line at the time. For $400ish I bought about everything else
>>729177214What's everything else? cpu, ram, mobo, psu, case?
>>729176846I had a 4790k and that was pretty fucking good What was better?
I hate everyone responsible for fucking up PC part prices.
>>729177313Haswell-E chips, especially as most could be overclocked.
lol>>729177392It's just the way things are in the West.You can't enjoy anything without some nerd trying to scalp.It's why TCGs work in Asia but not in the West.Or how retro gaming turned out, it's fucked man
>>729177313Nearly whole LGA2011v3 lineup.
>>729177392cool it with the antisemitism
>>729177530>picI feel like that is bait as the risk of being scammed is too high for anyone to actually sell a 5800x3d. Then again the 5800x3d is headline bait as I bet the 5700x3d is at more sane prices.
>>729174143>consolekeks are stuck on their shit consolescry me a river
>>729174143You can also just get a Steam Machine or wait on the Steam Deck 2.0.
>>729174143I am goodHave a spare 32GB kit too
Chiplets never work, you can't just glue cpus together.
>check price of ram from my current build>it's more than all other parts combinedwhat the FUCK
> buy a consle with ram included already> $475, that was the price of ps5 during black fridayI ain't gonna lie.... fuck ram and gpu prices. I ain't building a new pc until this one fucking dies or Gabe unleashes HL3. Even then, I'll likely just buy the Steam Console if he does release HL3.
>>729177771Even intel believes otherwise.
>>729174143Pre-built kino wins
Good, fuck gamers
>itt luddittes crying about the consequences of AI progressIt's for the good of us all
Is there anything wrong with going prebuilt nowadays?
>>729174143I own a thinkpad and its my main gaming machine. I paid $300 for it and have probably clockes in over 10000 hours of games since purchase.Your need for big hardware is retarded, the are zero games worth playing with thise large requirements.
>>7291776625800x3D immediately had a price jump while all the other cpus from the same gen are still at the same price
>>729178062What is your fav heroes of might and magic game and what is your modlist for GTA SA?
>>729177530>up to $800>check ebay>prices start from $400
You can get a used car for the price of building a PC.
>>729178535Yes but a single visit to the mechanic will cost you more than the car itself.
>>729178535always could
Why do you need top of the line PC hardware? Genuine question, what ungodly giga goyslop do you even need it for?
Got my 32GB for £65 last week. Get fucked.
>>729178662Maybe its because windows 11 pro is such hot garbage, it probably utilizes 80% of your RAM just from having Chrome idle on 4chan
>>729179193Nobody is forcing you to use jeetdows. Use any Linux distro like a white man.
Can I flex my ram now and get blow jobs from the ladies?
Can you lot please stop sooking about this, its getting pathetic
>>729179193>using win11>using chrome
>>729176314he's barely the problem despite being one of them, the real problem are the hardware kikes intentionally ceasing production of consumer hardware knowing full well what it means for the average person, knowing full well that it pushes the world into being reliant on those corporations as they casually remove personal computing from your life
>>729178439rage inducing clickbait is the 2020+ gameplay meta
>Have to ride out DDR4 and AM4 for the forseeable futureGrim
>>729175104me too, but there still even sicker deals popping up today at microcenter
>>729176062windows is bloat: the OS
>>729179940if you're stupid
>>729179814People near a Microcenter are so lucky
>>729175836>almost 2000+26>still using winblows
>>729174143Microsoft purposefully did this so Linux's influence in the market wouldn't increase with the release of the Steam Machine. That way they can maintain their monopoly and shut down competitors.This is what I personally believe.
>>729174143>$500>still 500+ monthly salesthis isn't getting better anytime soon is it
>>729180045>just tweak and fiddle like you were Arch user
>>729180147Just scalpers buying whatever they can.
>>729180147>this isn't getting better anytime soon is itit will only get worse
>>729174143Already did.
>be a waitfag>have a decent PC build in 2019>think about buying new PC in the summer>unsure on if I had enough money for a full new build and a new monitor>wait even more just incase>SSDs go up in price for "no reason" months ago in my country>rampocolypse happens just as I am certain I have enough bank for the new build>can afford €500+ ram but won't buy it out of spiteGuess I waited too long that I have to wait even more now. If my current PC dies or it's parts go up in price for bullshit reasons too I will go back to my old DDR3 build from 2014.
>ddr4 also going up in price>ddr3 untouched>bought lga1150 mobo with i7-4770 with 32gb of ram all for about $120>no game i wanna play NEEDS more cpu power other than something like cyberpunk which still reaches 60 fps anywayThis is the way. Poorfag way, but fuck paying these prices.>>729180147>the only ones getting notable sales are the most expensive and the cheapestwe're doomed
>>729180109Microsoft can't stop the rise of SteamOS, it's over for them in gaming.
i have to admit it... i have 32gb of ddr5 ram2x16i didn't upgrade in timei fucked up bros!
>>729174667>you need 128 GB RAM
>>729180615Just keep waiting waitfag. You're used to this
ram mafia doing fradulent price hikes is whatever. the seething doomer faggots on this board that like to pretend this is permanent, thats what grinds my gears.
>>729174667what are these niggas gunna do with like 200GB ramjust request some CPU years on a supercomputer if you need more than 32GB rami routinely run jobs that use 2000+ amd epyc cores and 24TB ram
>>729181604can it play crysis?
>>729181326> I waited too long that I have to wait even more nowExcept this is what I am doing right now. I didn't wait in 2014 or 2019. But this is the first time I am considering digging out an old build to replace my current build if it dies.
>>729174143I did a couple months ago. I gotKingston FURY Beast 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30. It cost me about $250.
>>729181923no but it has thousands of nivida H200 GPUs and can supposedly generate really good futa porn
>>729182126do it and post results
oy vey stop complaining goy! this is the new normal.
>>729178439Look at price history and new offers
>>729179228Nvidia and Arch fucked each other in the newest update lol
>>729174747Genuinely how much dick would you need to suck to afford those kits? I am not familiar with today's succ-to-dollar exchange rate.
>>729177735what the fuck is this brand?is this even hynix?

>>729174143I swear a few months ago there were good DDR5 kits going for less than $150. Wtf happened?
>>729182964The AI got hungry.
>>729182784this reminds of the PS3 with its so great CPU and the App Fold@homedid this anything remotely good?
>>729182964OpenAi signed a contract with manufacturers to buy roughly 50% of the worldwide ram wafer supply for the next 5 years
>>729174143get an older ddr4 platform.
>>729174143I'm good. This will last for a while for gaming and productivity work. Hopefully the AI jews don't completely rape the consumer PC market and turn it all into renting computing power.

>>729174143So.... what's the endgame now that no one can afford to build their own PC?
>>729175880Amazon gives you a discount if you have ebt actually so this has been a reality for a long ass time. You can read it on the page easily
>>729174143Nobody is buying these, so why doesn't "The Invisible Hand" of the Economy level these prices?
I'm almost afraid not to buy a 9070xt because I feel this shit is only gonna get worse. I need a backup card
>>729174834GPU prices have been fucked since 2021.
>>729183607Make them rent it for $50 a month plus another 30 for integrated AI tools.
>>729183607make you use jeet and jew ai and game streaming services from your 2010 tier hardware that cost as much as a good mid range build from 4 years ago
if you're looking for value just buy a local second hand consoleafter a generation of subscriptions and games you might crack the price of an entry level pc pc only makes sense if you're a pixel peeping homo

Unironically is it better to just go for a prebuilt machine at this stage?
>>729176625>>729177295>>729176846Ignoring the 5960X and Titan X (also $1000) you would've gotten something like a i7 6700K for ~$350 and a 980 Ti for ~$600Top of the line would've meant SLI thoughHe's not completely wrong but today you'd get pretty good setup with a Ryzen 9600 and a 9070XT which would also be ~$900https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we0kR6_YgsIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCLMNJDPOcQ(some of those games are still being used for benchmark videos)Also this AI summary for RAM prices 10 years ago sounds familiarIn 2015, DDR4 RAM prices experienced a general downward trend, becoming more affordable as production increased and the new Intel "Skylake" processors, which used DDR4, became mainstream. Initial launch prices in late 2014 were high, but by 2015, prices had dropped. Specific price points from October 2015 for 16GB kits were: 16GB DDR4-2400 MHz kits cost around $117. 16GB DDR4-3200 MHz kits cost around $151. For context, when DDR4 first appeared in August 2014, 32GB kits were priced between $450 and $500. By the summer of 2015, some users reported buying DDR3 (the then-dominant standard) for around $60 for 16GB, indicating DDR4 was still more expensive but closing the gap. Prices for DDR4 would drop further in 2016 before a significant price hike in subsequent years.
>posting the price of 64gbI'm fine with my 16gb rig, why do you need 64 gigs?
>>729174336I have 32gb of ddr4 and I was willing to stay on it for many more years but there are no fucking x3d chips to buy
>>729174143But my PC is already buildered bro.
>>729174143RAM manufacturing usually takes about a year to rev up production. By 2027 the market will flood, just like the last time there was a RAM shortage and it took a year to fix.
>>729186772Who will rev up the production exactly?It won't be samsung, hynix or micron.
>>729174143are people actually buying at this price? I though everybody was poor and on food stamps because of da jooz?
>>729186520as long as you can verify that they aren't using a ied as a psu then yeahprebuilt have had decent deals for a long time now, you can even find budget builds that are competitive if not cheaper compared to building one yourself

You don't need more than 16GB.
>>729187423the top 10% are willing to pay those prices, the loss of business due to the rest of the population being priced out is irrelevant
>>729174143Who needs 64 GB for gaming when the majority still has 16 GB?
>>729187025Some random Chinese company
>>729187724borderlands 4 recommends 32gb though
