because there won’t be anything left
DDR3 bros, they laughed at us.
>>730665092Built mine out of literal ewaste over several years, I'm doing fine with my shitheap
I'm glad we're just accelerating. Why contain it?
>>730665172don't do it todd i will buy the 50th iteration of skyrim, i swear!
bubble bros, when we poppin?
>>730665284Never, the dollar is going to shit.
>>730665243>UMM SWEATIE... BAD THING GOOD, BECAUSE... LET US... LE ACCELERATEAccelerate towards what? The third world war?
>>730665243Neets and 4chan lowlifes will be the first to go in any sort of societal collapse lmfao
>>730665092Turning 5 years old in 2027, I was planning on finally buying something performant, not build just another RTX3060 with 16g of DDR4 memory for twice the price HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
>>730665385>>730665387You lost.
>>730665092I'm wondering if this will hopefully force developers to constrain their resources instead of defaulting to "unused memory is wasted memory xD" mindset. People might honestly be stuck with like 16GB RAM and mid-tier GPUs for the next decade.
>>730665092I built my PC with a 4090 in 2023, and got an OLED monitor, all for just over $3,000.I looked up all the exact parts on PC part picker and it would cost over $7,000 if I built it today
>>730665473Aren't you a bit young to be on 4chan?
i don't remember last time i bought computer. i just take parts from electric recycling
>post yfw you built your new PC last year
They can't build datacenters forever.
>>730665675>unused memory is wasted memoryThis was always a meme, it hasn't been true since we've had multitasking OS where multiple programs share memory resource.
Glad I already bought some great land and will have solar power and a self-sufficient farm going soon. Must suck for anyone living in cities when the complete societal collapse happens.
>>730665803They can upgrade existing one though
>>730665783I built mine in October, I'm good for the forceable future.
>>730665816Well that is what the paradigm for software development has been for the past 15-20 years.
>>730665474You'll be the first to get fucked after the diversion is over
>>730666043You'll be too poor and hungry to do anything by then.
I have an RTX 2070 32GB RAM tower someone just handed me for free. What should I do with it?
>>730666227Sell it I guess
I would so fucked if my 4090 would breaks.All I have left is a gtx1080.
>>730665951Good point.Still, someone has to pay, and one day, possibly, someone says "Do we have any results?".
>>730666270>gtx1080These still go for as much as they did in 2020
tell me straight: how much time will this give me?
>>7306657834090 for $1500128GB RAM for $300
>>730666376at least you have ddr5
>>730666227Use it as a home lab and host anti-government propaganda.
>>730666354That's all he would have to play on
>>730665783>>730666002>>730666416PCs don't last forever, niggertards
>>730665092Did they ship all their e-waste to the Philippines?
>>730665783Feels great
>>730666123>You'll be too poor and hungry to do anything by then.
>>730666578Play, AI, Iray rendering.So fucked...
>>730665473You are very erudite for your age kid, but watch the language.
Pfft.AI-assistant, download more RAM.
w-waitbros...? we're still ok... right?
>>730666601I have a 24 year old iBook that I still use randomly to play Oregon Trail and Escape VelocityIt does need to be plugged into a wall because the battery lasts about five minutes
>>730665803We're looking at at least a couple of years before any reasonable adjustment in production will occur. And when have they ever meaningfully lowered prices back? They want most of us on a subscription service, physics be damned. When the gulf in graphics quality is big enough they might be able to entice enough people to try it, or failing that have you content with just mobile gacha.
>>730666903I've had my 1080 and was like 'this is bullshit, I'll wait until prices are back around 500 USD for a decent GPU again. Yeah...
I guess I'll just dedicate my time to my backlog which doesn't need a powerful machine. Game over kikes, I'm waiting until prices hit rock bottom.
i only have 4770 and 1660 supershould i get ryzen 5 5500 and rtx 2080 for $420
>>730665172Still hanging onto my I5 4440 16GB DDR3 rig
>>730665473>Turning 5 years old in 2027uh, mods?
>>730666903Wait chads can never loose unless they stop selling parts forever. Remember the storage drive drought and price kikery because of the flood? Prices cratered later.
>>730667093All I can say:An occasional lynching never hurt anyone.We should bring that tradition back.-20 Paiantlr polnts for me.
>>730665092mutts fault for the state of gaming and pc's industries
>>730666601Seething waitfag
I was too poor to build a PC before it was cool.
>>730667483Whoops, wrong vid.But, once you learn about people like Tlehl and their views.It's a bit much.
>>730666270Kind of feel you on that.I've been lazy about selling off my 3070, and now I'm pretty much refusing to because I'm keeping it as a back up.
>>730665385problems have to get worse before they get better. and they need to get worse fast so people will notice them getting worse. we're trying to speedrun hard times made by weak men.
>>730666376They're reissuing the 3060, the most popular card currently on Steam, and AMD CPUs from the previous socket, so you'll ride this out as long as your PC doesn't die. Make sure to keep it clean and don't overexert it.
My friend just got a 5070ti for almost $800 and he considers that a good dealHe also got a 5700X3D because he couldn't afford DDR5It's all fucked
Things are supposed to stabilize in 2028, which seems like an acceptable wait to me. What what games are on the horizon for 2026 to look forward to? Which of those require high specs? As far as I know, the answer to both is "nothing." My 2019 build will continue service until the state of each industry improves. Then I can pick up whatever came out in the interim on a discount.
>>730668325the faster you run towards a cliff the harder it'll be to stop or turn around
>>730667250If that runs the games you want to play. That's the only benchmark that matters.
>>730669334The steering wheel and brakes are already broken, dude.
>>730669334also>so people will notice them getting worseWhat happens when you're already off the edge of the cliff and haven't even noticed?You become Wile E. Coyote is what. We're already past that point. Everyone invested in AI is afraid to look down, and they can only hoping that the AI bubble can remain afloat with hope and belief. A death knell is approaching. Can you hear it?
>>730665172You could have upgraded for cheap, but no longer. Waitfags, this is your destiny.
>>730665092I have using the same hardware for like 5 years, will continue to use it for another 5 more years
>>730665783
man I don't want any newfangled PC because AAA nowadays is all shit, I just want something decent enough to play Bordelands 3 with my brother, but even that is asking too muchmy ass-old Geforce 670 can play the Pre-Sequel fine but can't play 3, despite the games being indistinguishable from one another, fuck this shit
stop being so mean about ai!
>>730665387pssh, I'll just unsheathe my masterwork $50 katana and defeat ruffians for their loot, and my 600lbs of bodyfat will sustain me for several years
I snagged 64GB of some erroneously pre-insanity priced memory a couple of months ago and wasted a bunch of money building a 9950X3D system.Holy shit am I glad I did it, I was on the fence before I checked out.
>>730665783>upgraded to 64g ddr5 ram and 9850x3d last year>the 9070 xt i ordered last week is already $100 more expensive nowthis better last me a decade
you WILL hand over any and all GPU/RAM you currently ownyou WILL rent hardwareyou WILL accept 50 hour rate limits per month
A market crash is inevitable.
>>730666601Take care of your tools and they will take care of you. My previous pc was running strong for seven years and I bought a new one two years ago because I had money to burn. The old rig is still doing well with my nephew and he's able to play some recent FOMO on it quite well two - that computer will be a decade old next year, mind you. I expect my current one to have at least the same mileage.
>>730665243>t.
>stuck with a meh laptop that overheats>missed my winsow to buy parts several times nowFuck my life
>>730665783>tfw 7900xtx with 7800x3d>even got the good SSDs with more than enough space forever>and the 32gb RAM that's like 400-500 dollars now for literally below half the price
>>7306657833090ti for 1050 including tax and shipping.
>>730665092I'm always going to be a thinkpad gamer, but price hikes aren't responsible
You know, I felt pretty bad building a new machine for Monster Hunter Wilds with how that turned out, but it looks like that was pretty much the perfect time to do so.
>went for a budget AM4 build in 2023 because I wanted to save all of $200 dollars and I only play autistic map painters anyway>the money I saved absolutely dwarfed by how much I'd have to spend on an AM5 build now>and now my autistic map painters need a 7800X3DThat kike Jensen was right. The more you spend the more you save.
I did, and got 32GB RAM at a time where 16GB seemed sensible, now I'm still set for a while. Feels good.
>>730665927Me and my family have been living on our self sufficient farm for a decade now. It's comfy.
>>730665783Not everything is from this year, but>5700X3D>9070XT
Oh no, it's getting so much more expensive to play all those good, really demanding games like uh.. Uhm...
you voted for it
>>730680095But I didn't vote for sleepy joe
>>730680095yeah anon, people voted for greedy companies like Nvidya
Haven't even to Akihabara in some time, but the difference between pre and post COVID Akihabara was dramatic. Nu-Akihabara sucks.
>>730681676it sucked before too. I went literal days before the pandemic started and it was already all gatcha shit and modern anime merch for children. If you're a western weeb the likelihood you will see much that interests you was already zero. there was a cool little shop that had cheap arcade stick parts though.
