GPU have become unaffordableRAM have become unaffordableWhat's next? BluRay drives? Pc building is becoming a luxury hobby at this rate.
>>107489100next you go drafted for food, obviously
SSDs of all varieties next, from nvme drives to sd cardsYou were warned about RAM a few months ago now you're warned about SSDs
Bluray drives will become extinct from the lack of demand before anything else
>>107489100>BluRay drives?BluRay drives have stopped being produced by a number of companies.They're going to become unaffordable or just straight up hard to find.
anything that uses memory is going up.cars,fridges,hard drives,consoles,phones,etc.
>>107489949>>107489166this
>>107489100It always has been a luxury hobby. It is going back to the old days with pricing. If you think things are bad. It is only to get much worse.
Next it's gonna be SSDs of anykind including nvme.After that GPU's as 2026 Q1 renogiation of bulk order between Dram manufacturers GPU producers etc.After that it's gonna be HDD's , not as bad but overall 30% increase to current pricing. Motherboards willbe cheap, but everything else super expensive. CPU's ,aybe 10% price increase.
>>107489966back in the day it used to be cheaper to build your pc than buy an alienware. today its the opposite.
>>107489100Except 5090, GPU prices have come down recently. They're gonna go up again soon tho, so if you want a GPU, don't wait.
You don't need top of the line hardware. "Mid-range" is still high end all things considered.The hardware we have already is insanely powerful. It's software devs fault for not doing basic optimization.
>>107489100PCs are for people with jobs
>>107489100If you think it's bad for consumers, I wish you would know how dire things are for datacenters and datacenter suppliers. Really in terms of every fucking resource.
>>107489100Buy something useful instead like seeds to plant in your field
>>107490107Wage slaves are poor and don't have time to use a pc, they use consoles
>>107489100>What's next? BluRay drives?Those are already unaffordable.
>>107490129Politicians won't care. The AI mammon ran by behemoths can't be stopped. Price and Licenses will be gatekeepers>>107489100Everything.Any PSU below €$100 will be F tier.Less supplies on cases and accessories due to sanctions and tariffs.DIY mobo manufacturers will be culled.HDDs have become unaffordable too.Any NAND flash : in progressGPUs : time to buy, will be unaffordable again soon.
>>107489100>What's next?hdd/ssds
>>107490232>people only use PCs for games12 year old detected
>>107489100ill smile the day some triple a developer releases a game that needs 5080 to get 60fps with framegen at 1080p and 32gb of ram to run just to realize it sold 1000 copies after a month since no one can afford high end gaming anymore
>>107489100Access to Personal Computing is absolutely incredible luxury that people have not been appreciating at all. Maybe if you had some more GRATITUDE and wasn't such a whiny bitch then we'd let you have more RAM!
>>107489100wait until you see the prices of nvme go up too
>>107490330>HDDs have become unaffordable too.They are dropping in price where I live. The WD 8TB HDD used to cost 189€ recently and costs only 149€ now. I got multiple of those for backup
>>107489166>You were warned about RAM a few months ago now you're warned about SSDsWhat good is the warning when there is no price drop on the horizon. This isn't a tornado warning where people bunker down with their RAM for now and wait for the price spike to blow over. People are going to pay these egregious prices and if the AI bubble pops tomorrow or years from now, the price of RAM wont drop by much. It's the new normal.
>>107489100don't worry, memory prices will fall once more when Microsoft and Google devour the fat pig that is openAI, who caused this problem in the first place
>>107490268Less than a 100 bucks, stop making stuff up
>>107491619>It's the new normal>Why?>It just is!
>>107490003We warned these people for months, I just stop ringing the alarm bells
>>107494100I predict in 2027 the bubble will have already popped, this "industry" is just not sustainable in the long term, and all of those giga server farms will go on sale for pennies compared to how much they costed to build.It could literally be a 2007 again, because always remember that the bank that collapsed was just a mere fraction of the world's economy, so as AI is.
>>107494412I've heard people claiming that the US will bail them out, but I don't know if they'll be able toIn order to remain solvent OpenAI needs 1.4 TRILLION dollars over the next 4 years
>>107494335>line will keep going down forever >why?>i-it just will, okay?!
>>107489971Motherboards have still increased way above inflation level since maybe 2010.
>>107494464It should until the conditions which have allowed it to do so stops, then it should plateau, not rise.
>>107489100Just buy a ps5
>>107494449I don't think that's reasonable unless they make them sell most of their datacenters, both already built and currently being built and downscaling operations to like 15% of what they do now.And I honestly can't imagine the congress approving a package for these people even if they think these companies are a military asset, with a bank it's basically bailing out the millions of people who have their money there, but this is just a corporation, it can and should just fail.
>>107494545Why would I downgrade to a 1070ti?
Blu-ray drives have never been cheap, unless you bought one used. Always $100+, prices probably influenced by Hollywood to discourage piracy.
>>107490330>PSUYeah, you're actually retarded. I was stupid to expect conciousness from a vidya goymer-adjacent thread
>>107489117kek this.if you think this shit will stop at just electronics then you're retarded. Welcome to the future, craka.
>>107494553runs games fine, better price/performance than a $1000 32gb ram kit
>>107489949but most of those things don't need the latest and fastest of memory. are there no companies that make this second grade memory for things where the speed isn't important?
>>107494591It gets mogged by ddr4 system thoughYou don't seem intelligent at all anon
>>107494412I keep hearing this shit for years now. I'm starting to loose faith in it
we are staring down a 1984 meets The Hunger Games reality, soon to be followed by Skynet apocalypse and extinction, and /g/tards are bitching about ram being costly.
>>107494449vance is a technofeudalist puppet, it's going to happen
>>107489100Stop being a neet maybe? None of these components are unaffordable.You are a brown thirdie
>>107489100Buy a few and hold on to them. I'd be surprised if speculation on them becomes as bad as it was during the pandemic though. Same thing with SSD's.
>>107494697The hype build up takes really long, but it pops in like two weeks where everyone needs to drop the weight or they go under, have in mind that the AI hype cycle has been only for like two years, so give or take a year or two and it'll pop and they'll push some new hype cycle.That's literally how the market works, take a look at what microsoft does and you'll see all hype build ups and all the pops.
Finally hoarding all these old laptops and desktop parts will pay off.
It just proves that Moore's law has its limits, yes transistors are faster and smaller but the complexity limits how fast they can be made.
>>107494616latest and fastest are all that left.old and slowest are all out of production or bought out.
you know there is a solution to this. Its not like we dont know the reason for all of this, neither like there we don't know a way to stop it.
>>107495714>neither like there we don't know a way to stop ityou need an LLM to help you communicate
This is gonna be what Im rocking for the next 10 years it seems
>>107495722I am just saying, why is this something that we are supposed to take? Is machine learning like this really worth all of this, you know that it would be pretty easy to poison LLMs if we were trying.
>>107489100>What's next? BluRay drives?I thought they quit making them for PCs last year, and all that was available was old stock.
Motherboards after SSDs. There will be no demand for DDR5 motherboards when you have to spend $1000 on 64GB of RAM or $500 for 32GB. And no one is going to want to upgrade from a DDR4 system when they had 64GB of RAM and end up with 32GB. Or go from 32GB to 16GB. Basically, an upgrade to DDR5 will be getting half as much RAM and paying twice as much. So why? A new motherboard + CPU + RAM is going to be a $2000+ purchase. There will be a big fire sale of DDR5 motherboards then a lot of companies are going to go out of business. Selling motherboards to consumers is going to be a thing of the past. SSDs being next won't be a big deal, people will just go back to HDs, you can run Windows on a 256GB SSD easily if you have a big HD for other stuff. We are about to take a huge step backwards in desktops before they completely die. Less ram, HDs instead of SSDSs, etc. It's basically over, the ecosystem can't survive with a key component costing more than what it cost to build an entire entry level gaming system 5 years ago.
>>107495913*HDD, not HD
>>107495913No, business, hospitals, corporations, schools, etc still buy fleets of office machines, which end up on the second hand market after they upgrade for peanuts. If you don't need a top tier gaymen machine, affordable home computing will be fine for a while. With ram prices skyrocketing, it's not like it will cost that much less to switch everyone to what are basically tablets with keyboards. The main reason fleet machines are still laptops/sff desktops is that parts can be swapped out and machines can be repaired without having lose data or reinstall an OS/have proprietary programs reinstalled.
>>107489100I am glad you cumsoomers can't afford it. You should all kys.
>>107496022Most of these places are already using thin clients with minimum specs in a small form factor with a virtualized environment. And most of them are tiny non-ATX/ITX/etc motherboards.
>>107494335>irrelevant chart
>>107494335>bb-b-b-bbut line goes down!Is there a slur yet for whatever the opposite of a neoliberal cuck is because this is it.
>>107490249Wageslaves don't have a job they have a pimp.
>>107495913Wrong, internal HDDs are already dead in the retail space. It is just new, old inventory. New HDDs are being sold directly to vendors/OEMs for system builds (datacenters).
>>107496598We just call them boomers. They'll be shitting their diapers in a nursing home soon because their families can't stand being around them anymore
>>107494412Isn't the EU threatening to dump a couple trillion in bonds on the US market?
>>107495913I expect a spike in DDR4 RAM and mobos in the future. Same goes for current gen cards when Supers, the RTX 6xxx and RX10xxx fail to materialize.
>>107494335Damn
i love my puter
>>107494335>goess all the way back to 1960 but the graph (((conveniently))) cuts off somewhere around 2017/2018Man I wonder why that might be :^)
>>107489100I googled my Blu-ray drive for a photo the other night and turns out what I bought for ~$70 new is now listed for ~$300-$500 on eBay
>>107489100>>107489166Ye.
>>107489100It's by design only the technopriests and their acolytes will be allowed to use hardware, the slave class will get some basic cloud devices for monitoring purposes and for access to their ration of bug protein powder.
>>107489100Bluray drives are out of the question, as Netflix Warner Bros Discovery dominates the streaming landscape.
>>107500358>Netflix Warner Bros DiscoveryDon't worry that'll never actually happen
I already have a 4 TB SSD. Should I buy another one just in case?
>>107500797Also interested in some perspective on this.I was planning on picking up some SSDs to make a storage pool for small files, and at the moment I can get some Samsung 990 Pros on sale for about the current cost of a Crucial P3 each (not exactly enterprise-grade but they're low power, have a DRAM cache, and offer an OKish MTBF so theoretically they should be fine).
>>107489166Seagate got that really shitty 24 tb HDD offering...i have ben sitting for weeks wondering if i should buy. 400 usd. price/TB it beats pretty much anything, even 95 % of used, but total writes and mtbf is godawful.should I go for it bros?
>>107489949>>107495700Isnt like 100 nm wafer shit still being made its just that it's all going to microcontroller and all that? I mean small FPGA makes FPGA that clocks at DDR1 speeds. This statement feels a bit sus ngl
>>107497155It's a logarithmic scale, cuckold. It still goes down, it just shows less on this graph specifically
