The RAM crisis will be over just in time for me to buy a new system in 2028
>>
>>107676820
OpenAI have bought 40% of all DRAM until 2029 though
>>
>>107676820
I really doubt it anon.

The only reason there is speculation about 2028 is because late 2027 there are supposed to be some new DRAM Fabs come online, but at this pace unless the AI bubble collapses, there is just as much chance that once those fabs DO open up, all of their production will go towards AI data centers, not consumer RAM

Companies aren't going to leave money on the table just to satisfy gamers.

Sadly enough,t he prices we see TODAY could look cheap in 4 years.

Maybe?
I think it's more likely that DDR6 will come out and be exclusively for AI shit whilst DDR5 comes down in price, but is now expensive because it's limited production.
>>
>>107676882
That will eventually happen, but there will be a significant period of time where both DDR5 and 6 are being produced, and all bought by AI datacenters.
>>
>>107676862
>there is just as much chance that once those fabs DO open up, all of their production will go towards AI data centers, not consumer RAM
Yep. We'll probably see DDR6 late next year and the consoomer market won't get some until a year later.
All depends on how much Trump wants to prop up the AI market to beat Chyna

I'm hoping (more like coping) that AI datacenters (as we know them now) will either fail miserably within the next few years, or will take enough strides forward that DDR5 will be more or less obsolete to their needs.
And they will be sitting on a shitload of DDR5 that they no longer need and want to make back some money on it

sauce? kidding but not producing ram that would otherwise sell at a decent price would be leaving money on the table. the question is more about the practicalities of fab construction and roi. having said that, how the cartel will handle supply and pricing is a big question mark, and it's assured that pricing will not favor the consumer. but i can guarantee you that manufacturers would like to be selling higher volume than they are now

nvidia rtx 3070 to 9070 xt worth it if i'm a 1080p guy? my card is starting to fall behind in heavily modded skyrim playlists and some modern games. main reason i'm considering it now is because gpu prices may go apeshit soon, but i'm also kinda waiting for my tax refund.

They're too big to fail now as a large part of the US economy relies on the constant growth of them. Half will sit doing fuck all for years as there isn't enough water and power but that doesn't matter when the tax payer funded bailouts come.
>>
>>107676988
>because gpu prices may go apeshit soon
FOMO isn't a good reason to buy. Also 1080p is garbage these days because you can get a decent HDR 1440p monitor for under $250. Personally I wouldn't buy a 9700 XT in general, people who are looking at buying a $600 shouldn't be cheaping out

How locked in to a certain resolution am I based on the components I choose for my build?
Ideally I'd like to build for 1440p and have my games run at that with a good framerate. But if on some games performance/framerate suffers at 1440p would I still have the option to play at 1080p (either through downscaling, or by having a second native 1080p monitor)?

looking for a good 3440x1440p 34" ultrawide monitor. my only requirements are minimalistic looks (no lights, no fancy stand, no stupid features), a high refresh rate (120hz or more), a decent non-ghosting panel (no va), and freesync. what options do i have? are there any i should avoid? i want to get a bigger one with a higher resolution, but i already have a vertical 27" 1440p 60hz ips screen that i am going to use as a second monitor. i want to avoid scaling and i just like the uniform look when everything has the same ppi.

Again, you're missing the point here.


If I can produce 100,000 units, and there is a consumer market for 10,000 of them per year, and an AI datacenter market for them for 150,000 units per year.

I'm going to sell all 100,000 units I can make to the AI datacenter, and i'd be fucking retarded to do anything else.

If you only have one kit, which price would you rather sell at?

And they don't have the capacity to meet the demand.

>but that doesn't mean it's the only segment that can be served
It isn't, but there's also high demand in the consumer market from AI companies that aren't as big, people training their own model or just increased demand due to FOMO.

These companies aren't your friend; they exist to make money.

>if on some games performance/framerate suffers at 1440p
For modern games, you use DLSS if you have Nvidia or pray optiscaler works after fiddling with it if you have AMD. The only reason you'd want to use a lower resolution is if you're playing some super old game and it has problems with high res UI scaling or something. I have a generation old midrange card and I easily play at full 4K if a game is too old for DLSS

>only enough capacity for data centers
Obviously the RAM will go to them. But the execs aren't stupid, and if they're building out more capacity, they'll try to maximize profits, which includes selling to consumers. There have been some oversupply problems with DRM in the past, so the increased capacity may very well be a conservative estimate against predicted demand, meaning the consumer gets fucked
>>
>>107677194
It's being caused by AMD CPUs.
The 9800X3D in particular seems to be some sort of sabotage from AMD if people run them with Nvidia cards.
Intel benchmarks don't show that issue.
>>
>>107677135
>they don't have the capacity
Not currently, but more fabs will come online, as regulators will hit the producers again for collusion and price fixing if they don't.

Correct, which is why they want to supply the consumer as well.

i hear after the microcode updates the intel ultras are not dogshit compared to the 14000s, is this actually true? the L3 cache of the 285K is attractive, but ultimately I pause since it's a dead socket and waiting for the new intels is tempting, but I honestly think ram will be even more fucked by that point in time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRAM_price_fixing_scandal

>when they can sell the exact same stuff to AI companies
Again, supply could be enough to sell to both. DRAM fabrication isn't nearly as concentrated as cutting edge CPU and GPU fabrication. There are multiple players; it's not a situation where only one company can produce DRAM. The only reason that TSMC can get away with sky high prices is that they're the only game in town and regulators recognize that. If the DRAM players don't compete with each other, there will be regulatory action from the EU at the very least and likely from the USA as well considering how important Nvidia is.

The whine used to be obnoxious, to the point headphones were mandatory, even when capped at 60fps, but now I have to strain to hear the whine in a quiet room with my frame-rate uncapped. I think the main culprit was my motherboard, because I noticed the 24 pin cable sunk about a fingernail's depth while I attempted to remove it. Maybe the myth that coil whine goes away with time is actually people fixing the problem on their own by doing maintenance?

No, that's not an eternal definition, that's only what you want it to be.
A 16GB GPU is not high-end if a 32GB model exists, a GPU with 100% MORE VRAM JESUSCHRIST!
And there are workstation cards we even more VRAM that we simply ignore here.
High-end are currently 4090 and 5090. The 5080 is only a slightly faster 5070Ti with the same amount of VRAM.

sorry that the 5080 isn't a high-end gpu like you said it was, but everyone can see it. like, it's much closer to the peasant folk gpus. you can't go out and say that just because those two are the highest-end gpus that nvidia offers right now that they are both high-end, when one is much faster and has like double the vram. it's like saying the v8 is much closer to the v12 in a car's model range when a bunch of i6 engines exist as well. the v12 is the flagship and the v8 is not even close.

Just because there is a gap between the 5090 and 5080 doesn't mean they're NOT both high-end GPUs.

Market segmentation isn't decided by absolute performance difference, it's decided by the actual product lineup presented, and in the CURRENT nvidia product lineup, the 5080 IS HIGH end, just not the HIGHEST end.

There's too many variables to pinpoint why coil whine may or may not go away, but in general I think you can chalk up people's testimonies to them simply getting used to the sound. The human mind has this miraculous ability to cope with almost anything. You're probably already accustomed to the sensation of your nose getting used to a smell after soaking it in for a bit, well, you're still smelling the smell, but your brain just on-the-fly accepts it as the new normal and filters it out of your consciousness, so you can more easily notice other smells. The same happens to sounds and other stimulus. Even a guy losing all his limbs will sort of become blasé about it after a while.

Because "availability" lost it's former meaning. The second best is the 4090, the second best available is drastically inferior to the best, with only half the VRAM, and does not deserve to be called high-end. Complain to Nvidia for not giving the 5080 at least 24GB.

it definitely varies by the voltage the psu is supplying under load (mine varies between 11.85v and 12.05v at times) and what load they run. most people dont seem to get that though and think their coil whine disappeared for good when they see it gone in a game that pulls 40% tdp when it would still be present in one that pulled 60%+ tdp

My argument is and always has been that market segmentation is decided by the product lineup.

If you have 2 products available you have high and low.

If you have 3, you have high, medium, and low.

When you have 7 products, unless you want to have 7 different product tiers, you're going to have group them together.

At the moment in Nvidias product lineup we have:

RTX 5050
RTX 5060
RTX 5060Ti
RTX 5070
RTX 5070Ti
RTX5080
RTX5090

>On Christmas Eve, his GPU suddenly decided to die. From the looks of it, it appears that the connector did not just burn and turn into ashes, but also took down the GPU's connector by melting it horribly.
>The user also clarified that he owned an ATX 3.1-compliant PSU (PowerSpec 1050 GFM) and used a native 12V-2x6 power cable that came with it.
He used an atx 3.1 psu with the proper native cable it came with and properly connected it into the GPU. 9 months later and it probably degraded enough due to the inherently flawed 12VHPWR design and killed itself. But yeah 5090 is so safe and all the tech media that raised the alarm were just spreading FUD right? Nvidia will be facing a class action lawsuit as soon as someone dies in a fire from this just wait.

This. The 5080 was, is and will remain an insult to serious gamers. I remember that everybody and his dog expected it to feature 24 GB before the specs were disclosed and boy did it underwhelm us to learn that it's hardly any different to a 5070Ti.

Yeah but you are arguing in /pcbg/ which is your big mistake, especially if you are talking about blackwell cards that can OC very well, the reallity is that there is no bad blackwell if get one that has above 8gb of vram it just depends what you want to use them and for how long do you want to use them

It's gonna last for a really long time with the vram shortage and the ps6 being delayed to 2028 at earliest, you have to remember that Devs targets certain specs and there is always a cross periiod generation, so you'll get games targetting ps5 pro specs roughly until 2030.

You have the same thing happening right now with gpus like the 3070 TI it was only until year 5 that you started having trouble with 8gb of vram and the same can be expected for the 5070

They were going to but just went fuck it! Just put the 5070ti die on it and call it a 5080. We'll market it as a High End GPU! They'll believe it even if the performance isn't any different that LITERALLY does not matter.

if it can't beat a 4090 it's not high end. overclocking doesn't count since you can oc both.

4090 doesn't OC as well as the 5080.

In valuation maybe, when considering the totality of AI related companies. Undoubtedly the tech giants like Alphabet and Microsoft will live or die based on their relative success at developing AI capabilities and integrating said capabilities into their products.

It's like asking whether internet related companies were a bubble, when the internet is integral to modern life. Only in valuation, and only when considering the totality of internet related companies, and only for a very specific period in the infancy of the technology. Amazon was build on the internet, as was Alphabet. Arguably so was Applel as no one would care about pocket computing if the internet didn't exist.

>it definitely varies by the voltage the psu is supplying under load
Original anon here, I stress tested my PC and made sure I was pulling full watts to replicate a worst case coil whine scenario. I even booted up the game that gave me the most obnoxious coil whine at 120 fps, which was Wuchang, and I can't hear it over the hum of my case fans anymore. I was playing it before I cleaned my PC, so I'm not just remembering wrong. I think maybe the PSU cable pins just weren't making full contact somewhere, which is why firmly reconnecting everything fixed my issue. If PSU cables became standardized, then it might fix 90% of coil whine issues, because you could easily buy new cables or mix and match to test, but that's just my hypothesis. My PSU btw is a montech century II.

Yes. Anything that out performs AMD is high tier. AMD said they will have no high tier flagship so that makes a 5080 high end. It's just the fact that the 5090 is so far ahead of everything else it's sort of silly.

ok so i'll take the bait, modern dies have shrink because more and mort part of the die goes into tensor cores which do hardware acceleration and parallel computing and in task that do take leverage of that Blackwell in general has over 30% gen on gen uplift, the 5080 has a higher bandwith and 1806 Tensor cores tops compared to 1406 on the 5070 ti to put this into perspective the 4080 has 780 while a 4090 has only 1321, if we ever get the neural rendering to leverage this on gaming you would start to realize the difference between teh 5080 to the 5070 ti

Nah, it's all about insulation. You hear your coils singing because the sound isolation is shit or improperly applied.

>Micron will continue selling its DRAM chips to Corsair, G.Skill, Kingston, etc.
Fat chance, they're using this pivot to sell exclusively to datacenters and have no reason to renew contracts with 3rd parties after their supplies dries up, they get to maximize profits between US subsidies and 5x markups for datacenter RAM with no risk as they're fully ingrained in the American tech sector, once AI slows down they'll just cut jobs and production to keep their margins steady.
