This is price fixing, just like every other time in the past when component prices rose in the past.
>>107226404Wtf
>64gbunless you run VMs it's not necessary
Didn't OpenAI reserve at least 40% of DRAM production by Samsung and SK Hynix for the next 10 years in their deal? That isn't a usual event.
>AI server centers run on gayming RAM
>>107226404Oh noes! Not the RAM with the gay rainbow lights!
>>107226404Oh is it time for the quarterly (((flooding))) or (((fire)))?
>>107226957They realized that people were catching on to that, so this time it's that AI companies bought up all the supply and so prices must triple.
coolmaybe i can get another $30 from a class-action lawsuit
>>107226462CAD/CAM can use a shitload of memory as well, that's why I upgraded to 32GB in my laptop.
>>107227058Must be a lot of demand for piss poor density UDIMMs. I would ask if they really believe people are that retarded but I know for a fact that they are so..
>>107226937Light belongs to the Father, from him comes light and there can be no shadow before him.
>>107226404That's cool, I'm still good with 32gb. I'll get another used 32gb kit in a few years.
>>107226404there is no way they would take advantage of it to artificially increase prices even though there is no real shortage right?
>>107226491Source? production scales over time. How did they buy 40% including the growth throughout those years? What is the penalty they suffer for backing away from their deal which they inevitably will? What generations of DRAM are they buying? What the fuck are you even saying when you typed your post.
>>107227305Who is "they", huh? You left that really ambiguous and I feel like you're targeting me.
>>107227447They are getting bailed out by the orange stable epstein friend.
>>107227104The FOMO brigade has been running overtime trying to convince people to BUY, BUY, BUY and that the price increases are totally organic and every cent is absolutely necessary and things can only get WORSE.It's so disgustingly transparent the motive here.
>>107226404I'm glad I purchased 512GB for my server earlier this year.
>>107227599Well, in fairness RAM prices collapsed during 2023-24 after the coof FOMO, so they had to do something...
That sucks.
>>107226462Thought so too.>>107226404Just checked - kit I bought exactly 2 years ago for 160 is now 530. What the fuck happened.>should have gone for 2x48 but was afraid MB wont handle it
>>107227779Yeah, not having a good GPU sucks pretty bad kek
>>107228130>14900KYS>ECC NoNo one cares about the GPU you pulled out of the trash bin.
>>107227796>What the fuck happened.Sorry, Sam needs all your Ram and a gorillion dollaroos too. Please understand
>>107228130Fair, mine fits in a bag though and still plays AAA games well on 1080p with all eye candy on and even has a built in UPS.>w11nevermind, dropped
>>107228249>my slow outdated ECC ram is LE GOOD>your 10k 96GB DDR7 VRARM is LE BADkek, nobody cares about that trash CPU and ram anon.
>>107229228>VRARMYup. Dead centre hit. The faggot is seething so hard he can't even type straight kek
>>107226404Supply and Demand, kiddo. Most of the DRAM futures have been ordered out by AI/ML companies. There's no room for new inventory on silly gayming SKUs. DDR4 is also being phased out.>>107227104Negative, there isn't much demand for UDIMMs. People aren't buying systems. I suspect it is just FOMO non-sense plus USD dying on the global stage. All luxuries and commodities are going to up in the USD.
>>107227796Tariff wars are rearing their ugly end and USD dying on the global stage. Hyperinflation is around the corner for USD.
>>107229346>Tariff wars are rearing their ugly endBut that's not what happened. CPU are pretty cheap at least today.
>>107226404I don't see what the problem is just download some.
>>107226404Damn this is like 8 years ago
The only reason it stopped going up is because there is no more ram on Amazon.
I need 256GB of ECC DDR4 for my server mobo, but it very specifically needs to be a kit of four matching 2Rx4 64GB RDIMMs.Searching for RAM on eBay or pre-owned in general was always a nightmare because no one tags their shit properly, so how fucked am I now?
>>107230323search by part number
>>107230323>so how fucked am I now?You're so fucked. Its hard to get like product now, its not even a problem of price, its availability.
>>107226404>16gb ramlet its literally over for me
>>107227796I bought it at $175 I think?
I was literally thinking of buying ddr5 64 or 96 gigs back in january and I thought prices were to high and I might as well wait for them to come down :(
>>107226462>unless you run VMs it's not necessarythis copium quasi-justification is insane.
>>107230413Serves you right troon
This is like 2008 all over again, people are going to wind up underwater on their rigs. Stock up on food and tp now
>>107226404>This is price fixing,>>107227058>They realized that people were catching on to that,Bloggin' that they're scaling back production to manage the supply might have been a clue.
>>107229329>Supply and Demand, kiddo.Good thing they wouldn't try to manipulate the supply end of that graph. Oh. Wait.
>>107230311Prime Day during the summer really was the best time to build
>>107230413> 10 months agoYou waited too long. Prices came down, but now they're going up.
>>107229346I live in Kazakh-fucking-stan and we share a border with Chyna. RAM price was already 2x what they asked in USA and now its out of control while we dont have tariffs for chyna so it was way cheaper to order from amazon. The same price spike happened here so the price was raised by the supplier
>>107226404Yeah, they fixed the price, why are you complaining now
>>107226404Well I'mcglad I bought 64GB for... 133 euros
I already have all the ram I need.DDR5 is a scam to begin with, it's got stupidly high latency and the extra bandwidth doesn't matter except for iGPUsDDR4 3200 CL12-12-12-36 5ever.
I'd like to remind everyone that a clean install of the latest version of Windows 11 uses 12GB of RAM by default
64gb owners we are bazillionaires...
usecase for more than 16gb ram?
>>107226404What the fuck? I looked at my last order. Im glad i bought my ram on october 24th. Now its twice the price on amazon
>>107226404>orange retard gives half a trillion in taxpayer's money to Scam Altman>Altman buys 40% of the DRAM world supply with that money (our money)>Korean slants rub their hands and raise the prices even more>prices skyrocketOur only hope of escaping the handrubbing is China. Still gonna be a few years before they can match Sk and Taiwan, but it's progressing at a rapid pace.
>>107233441GNOME
Just checked the RAM I bought in February. It doubled lmao.
>>107226404On the plus side, the hardware I already own will be viable for a decade thanks to this stagnation. RAM and VRAM.
>>107237048>he thinks this will slow down vibecoders and game """developers"""Prepare for 192GB recommended RAM requirements on games by the end of the decade.Prepare for a browser needing 8GB RAM per tab.Prepare for windows 12+ to not even boot unless you have at least 32GB RAM.Prepare for endless (((webGPU))) bullshit.
>>107237077Okay they can enjoy making no money then, nobody will buy
>>107237151>nobody will buyLiterally every hardware manufacturers profit and sales numbers tell a very different story. Or is this the same way no one will buy microtransactions?
>>107233441Vms
>>107226404im perfectly content with my 16gb
>>107237203If most of your market literally can't run the fucking program...are you retarded?
>>107237435Wanna tell me how the hardware requirements getting exponentially worse have hurt literally any games sales in the last 10 years?>LALALALLALALALALLA IF I JUST CLOSE MY EYES REALITY WILL CHANGE ALALLALALALALALet me guess 2018 you were coping about how prices will go down after the miners are done?
>>107227487Isn't that the guy that blew the horse?
>>107237448>Let me guess 2018 you were coping about how prices will go down after the miners are done?tbf prices were going down
>>107233302Which is almost all cache. I downgraded from 32GB to 16GB and the same OS uses far less memory now than it did on the 32GB system.
>>107226491I have never hoped for a company to go bankrupt more than OpenGayI. What the fuck are they going to do with all this shit when the bubble inevitably pops? It will all be (((obsolete))) by then, and even if it doesn't, it will still be (((obsolete))) for their gay purposes.
>>107226404This is America collapsing, enjoy the show.
>>107238013>What the fuck are they going to do with all this shit when the bubble inevitably pops?Government bailout.
Bought 32GB DDR4 for 125 euros 2 years ago. Today it's almost 300 euros.
>>107226462I have 1000 seeking arrangement tabs open. I need 128gb minimum
I knew this was coming, so I bought tons of extra RAM in preparation. Of course, I don't like wasting any of it, so I wrote a small computer program that allocates a few gigabytes and keeps running in the background. I open as many of these as needed to avoid having any unused RAM (unused RAM is wasted RAM, after all).
I have 768GB of DDR4 RDIMM 2993MHz ECC RAM. How many hookers could it get me?
>>107226404Whats next, colluding with OEMs to have soldered memory on desktops
>>107226404it's okay by me. they can keep 'em.
