omg the meme were correct all those years. I guess I wont be adding that litle extra ram.I guess my next pc build is going to hurt.This is kinda stressful, computers go bad unexpectedly, one day all is fine and the next you get artifactsI remember when GPUs were around 500€I remember when pc gaming was for the poor kids
>>110027774Yeah RAM market has been cyclical for decades, boom and bust are all it knows
>>110027774> for decadesI built my pc 4years ago and things were fine anon, look what i got back then for 500 bucks, the gpu was only 800€ I'm gonna find out in a few minutes how much they cost, first i gonna look at some benchmarks
Are PCs being taken away from us permanently? Are they gonna confiscate all GPUs with more than 8GB of VRAM? I worry about this a lot anons
>>110027985>>110027774The situation actually isn't as bad as people think.Especially for desktop RAM.It is PROVEN that companies like Corsair are making excess profits off the "shortage" Until people stop buying and DIMM vendors start hurting, prices aren't going to go down. Even if the shortage ends.
>>110028028>It is PROVEN>doesn't show proof
>>110027774Remember, because retarded people continue to use AI there will become a point where there is no memory available. All tech companies will supply AI datacenters in future. We will get literally nothing.
>>110028076The bubble will pop well before that.
>>110028065Corsair's quarterly earnings are public.Ugh, I know, it sucks that the companies that directly market to you are acting in bad faith.I know it must shatter your trust.https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/corsair-reports-strong-second-quarter-2026-profit-growth-and-cash-generation.351429/
>>110027774Good, now maybe all the gamernexus kids and brainwashed doomers will leave..
>>110027774Should have bought 64 when you had the chance it was peanuts.I did. Maybe I should have bought 128 but most shit fits in my fat ass GPU so eh.
>>110027985Rent cloud gamingYou will no longer need to pay for a gamer PC in fact for pay as you go it will ultimately be cheaper and you will always have frontier hardware for PC gamingBe excited
>>110027774the only good thing about their stupid grift is that it will finally force them to make ram/gpu/cpu efficient software again eventually
>>110028288>Should have bought 64 when you had the chance it was peanuts.back then 16 was more than enough anon kek
>>110028309That type of thinking is how people are so screwed now.They let the performative reddit male bullshit seep in rather than going with what's cool.I bought 96GB 2 years ago.
>>110027774lmao, I can buy a car and enjoy it for 20 year for this amount of moneythis is the endremember when you thought 1k for a gpu was expensive?
>>110028536>lmao, I can buy a car and enjoy it for 20 year for this amount of moneynot with these fuel prices you aren't
>>110027985This will happen>*boom*>*CRACK*>MR ANON STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER AT ONCE POWER READINGS INDICATE YOU ARE OPERATING DANGEROUS UNLICENSED LOCAL NON CLOUD HARDWARE IN VIOLATION TO CORPORATE CODEX A-163
>>110028552kek petit salaud
>>110028536who the fuck cares about a car?
>>110029193some of the people no longer rich enough to afford a gaming pc master raceits the same story as with the hot stacies, anon, just dont look if you cant have and get a doll
>>110028536why would you buy a 5090 for gaming retard.
>>110029378but, i wouldnt its too expensive
$25 I'm openrouter credits lasts me a month, even more
>>110029378>why would you buy a 5090 for gaming retard.nigga have you been paying attentiuon to the thread at all? We wouldnt be buying those cards, maybe none at all in fact because THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE.
still running my 1060 build form 2016
>>110028097>During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recognized a benefit of approximately $15.6 million to GAAP gross profit from refunds of tariffs previously paid under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.>Net income benefited by approximately $14.9 million>Excluding this benefit, net loss would have been $5.7 millionMaybe you should read more than just the title.
>>110027774>Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 2x16GBoh hey, I have that, the 7400MHz version (it scales linear on the iGPU).
>I bought ram when it was cheap>I'm so lucky and smart lmaoWell some of us didn't, fuck you.
>>110027774>got 4x32=128gb ddr5 back in early 2003 for around $400>returned 2 sticks because my am5 system couldn’t boot with all four sticks>that same two sticks now costs over $1000>didn’t realize at the time that I could’ve just held onto it and upgraded cpu/mobo a few years later or even sold it for profit
>>110032117>>I bought ram when it was cheapanon but, i could have guess that i would want more ramthe way pc building works is that you build it when you need it and then for the next 7years or so you are goodwho the fuck could have guess this shit was going to become super expensivepc gaming is for nerds for godsakes, its a nice thing, all the cool kids have consoles
>>110027774ooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>110028028>(((companies)))
>>110028304nah
>>110032560>pc gaming is for nerds for godsakesnot true anymore, normies have PCs now
>>110027820shillbot trying to rewrite history>>110027985no but nvidia did just end sales of the 5090, so expect to never get a GPU better than that
>>110032117>>110032560Unironically the people without hearts in the game got fucked.We are 2 generations deep into DDR5. If you didn't upgrade then honestly it doesn't matter if you do now. Clearly no one cared enough so why care now?Same with wanting more RAM. Even if you did upgrade to DDR5 recently why didn't you just get more? It wasn't expensive. My thinking for the last 10 years has always been to get the biggest DIMMs that fit in a slot.It boggles my mind how so many people are clearly invested in PCs to build one but don't take to the leap to do what's cool and instead listen to a consensus or do what's "rational"You are already knee-deep so what's so hard about spending a little extra initially especially if it means a better PC than the mean? Was someone going to make fun of you from having 64GB?
