Get more RAM while you can...
Imagine going to an imageboard to post pictures of someone else's words.
I don't play games that require ram
Why not just stick with DDR4?It's still cheap.
>>730713229I have 16 gigs of ddr4 I bought twi black fridays ago and rather than put it in my server I think I'm just going to keep it as backups for if my server's current RAM goes bad. RAM prices are truly absurd. I'm glad I bought SSDs last black friday because the SSDs I bought then are now 3x the price today.Fucking crazy. And the craziest part is that prices are going to keep going up.
>>730713229I hate AI
>>730713229This is nice. Trying to use an 8GB model in vram only gives me 4000 context. Separating context means I can use a better model and have enough context for a week worth of discussion, or at least I think models are limited to 40,000 context; otherwise basically sky is the limit.I'm not sure why this wasn't obvious, just as having video gen drop the oldest frames to free memory is obvious and still not done.
>>730713553I love AI
So what stock should I be buying to profit from this?
>>730713229>doing prebuild order over a year ago>friend who picks parts tells me to get 32 gigs>say fuck it and double up since it didn't increase price that much
>>730713598So this is an extremely volatile market that could crash at any point and send RAM prices through the floor while also making it so you can't afford rice and beans, so I would recommend having 80% of your net worth invested in physical supplies, and 20% of your worth invested in defense.
Oh no
>>730713229I haven’t upgraded my pc in 8 years and I can still play new games at max settings. Is 10 year old technology really that unaffordable now?
>>730713229>all of this so niggers can make more of this crapnothing could have prepared me for a future this fake and this gay
I upgraded in Q2 2025, I should be safe
>>730713804I can appreciate seeing diddy and maduro link up as much as the next guy but it is such a retarded use of resources ultimately. I guess we've been filtered, no space for us.
I'm gonna wait and buy the dip
>>730713229Is there anything that can be done to stop pc components from getting more expensive?
>>730713912>no space for us.Space was out of the question long ago when AIPAC got formed
>>730713594Because you're a poor jeet who couldn't afford a proper pc anyway
The pop will happen any day now, right bros?
>>730713229>Get more RAM while you can...Why?If RAM will get very expensive, this means new games won't require as much of it, which means you won't need as much of it.You only need a lot of RAM if the average person has a lot of RAM.
In another year or so AliExpress will be flooded with cheap chink RAM. Just wait.
>>730713953Sure but this feels like the finisher. Billions, if not trillions flowing into brainrot generators. There's no coming back from it.
>>730713768What are these new games you play at max settings? Pixelshit platformers? I've got a 2 year old PC made with top shelf components and it still struggles to run whatever latest UE5 slop someone farted out because the optimization is a joke and none of these hacks can make a game work. I seriously doubt you'd even get it through the menu with an 8 year old pc.
>>730713981Anon...the bubble bursting is not exactly a better optionAI is the only reason the stockmarket reversed its post covid freefallthe AIjews got us all locked in a checkmate here, either support the slop or usher in another great depression
>>730713229Nah. If it gets out of range, price simply gets out of range.I'm okay playing older games. If the majority of gamers can't get new hardware, devs will just develop for lower spec machines.So that probably means things will stall graphically for a long time while this AI nonsense is going big.
>>730714087Good guy USA is disentangling from Europe just before the collapse, to spare our markets. Thank you, daddy USA. Go die alone so you don't stink up the place.
I asked gpt5.2 (with reasoning) to make me a build in Rogue Trader and it used out of date information from 3 years ago on top of making up some abilities.40% of the worlds RAM btw.
i voted for this
>>730713229>AI bro thinks DDR5 prices getting even worse is a "good thing" BECAUSE LE SCALABILITY FOR LE CHATBOTSCan't wait for the day that we start killing these fags.
>>730714087Pretty sure you're getting the great depression either way.
Are GPT/etc doing much to optimize their shit or is it just deepseekI don't pay attention to the technicals of these much but I do remember when deepseek R1 (or was it V3?) released the whole thing was about how it was low power, and now I guess the OP
>>730713996>new games won't require as much of itlol lmao even
>>730713229I woke up now (im in eu). I have a meeting at the bank today.I'll borrow 2,000 euros.I'll use part of it to buy a DDR5 (64GB) hard drive.(I still won't be able to build a complete computer, but at least I'll have the peace of mind of knowing I'll have some of it.)
This whole situation is such a transparent scalping play
>>730714157>europe will be fineBuddy you are beyond fucked. If we ever have to go back to merchant convoys the shreds of your healthcare is going to pay for a new destroyer lmao
>>730714087You're getting another great depression anyway. By supporting AI all you're doing is making a few rich people even richer while gaining nothing in return.
Why is it so hard to scale up silicon manufacturing? I feel like it's easily been half a decade with constant supply shortages around all of this stuff. The writing on the wall has been obvious for quite a while. When is China going to make new factories?
>>730714285>I'll use part of it to buy a DDR5 (64GB) hard drive.>(I still won't be able to build a complete computer, but at least I'll have the peace of mind of knowing I'll have some of it.)damn sorry for shitty google translate. (im german)i literally have to run - the appointment is soon. just wanted to say that i was about to go and get money to buy me DDR5 64 just to be sure.I also think it will only get WORSE.
>>730713981There is no bubble, fake news
>>730713229This nigger pays for twitter
>>730714087We are already on course for a massive depression unlike anything we’ve ever seen. People are getting laid off en masse and no one is hiring. The job numbers are fake. AI is part of the reason but not all of it. The AI financial bubble will collapse because companies are going out of business. The corporate need for AI is declining because businesses are failing.AI will stick around though, the technology is useful and also improving. I have no idea what’s going to happen to the population though. They’re going to have to invent some new jobs out of thin air to stimulate the economy again.
>>730714374you have to pay for twitter if you want to have it as a part of your buiseness.
>>730713996>Why?To keep artificial demand going since prices will never go down, ever, it's very important for companies who produce DDR to pump prices as high as possible and to achieve this they want extremely high demand NOW
>>730713996>If RAM will get very expensive, this means new games won't require as much of it
>>730714328There hasn't been a memory shortage for 5 years, it only started last year. Before that there was a borderline oversupply of memory which is why it was so cheap for a long time. There have been memory shortages before but a lot of the time its due to natural disasters and shit like that in the places where the chips are made.It takes years to build a new fab.
>>730714328Printing 10 trillion dollars and spending it all on RAM is instant, building a factory that produces RAM is not. There has been no RAM shortage.Also, GPUs are in state of nvidia monopoly, there has been no shortage of GPUs only extreme prices. Because everyone is willing to pay those prices.
>>730714394>AI will stick around though, the technology is useful and also improving. I have no idea what’s going to happen to the population though. They’re going to have to invent some new jobs out of thin air to stimulate the economy again.i just want to have a "working horse PC".all my skills rely on having a PC.
There is planty of resources being wasted right now, it just needs optimization.
I hope I can wake up one day.
>>730714262>or is it just deepseekDeepseek figured out that you dont need to train a model from scratch and you can instead train a model with other models.so they side stepped the billions dollar cost to have impressive (but not as good) performance.it's less of an optimization and more of a trick, because someone had to do the work originally, you wouldn't have deepseek without the billions cost of GPT.>it was low powereven the smallest useful Chinese models take a 4090 and 32gb of RAM to run, and they run like shit and produce output worse than gpt4.it's impressive for what it is but it's not really that groundbreaking.
>>730714328part of the issue is that there was a memory surplus and all the factories scaled down.RAM was cheap the last few years.
lol YES, BUY NOW WHILE ITS ALL EXPENSIVE! RUSH RUSH RUSH TO HAND OVER CASH FOR SHIT WHILE ITS THE MOST EXPENSIVE ITS EVER BEEN
>>730714328China is in the process of making new factories, it just takes a long time to get it up and running. And even China hasn't decoupled itself from the global market so a lot of specific know-how needs to either be negotiated with foreign companies or they need to invest in learning it themselves which is also an entirely new process that will take a long time.
>>730714320you pay more for worse healthcare than we do bro
>>730714394Nah they'll just kill off two thirds of the population and reintroduce serfdom.
>>730714443Well right now all of this shit is in peak demand which is the worst time to buy. At some point this shit will be oversold and everything will get massively discounted. At the very worst it will stabilize at some reasonable price and then you can buy.People getting fomo during peak demand almost always get burned.
>>730714553>worse healthcareYou're actually fucking retarded lol
Why don't you just learn a trade that doesn't need PCs?
>>730713339I would be surprised if you had a single truly original thought of your own. Your entire life is resynthesizing words of those who came before you.
>>730714394> invent some new jobswe're going to mars
>>730714639Everything will be very cheap when AI gets much more advanced, it's just temporary
>>730714562I do think a massive world war is one very likely possibility.Either that a or a complete restructure of society. There really is no need to kill people, there’s enough food and housing for everyone. The real need is to pacify people.
>>730713804They look like cousins who have nothing in common getting their picture taken together at Christmas by grandma.

>>730714157Europe is not independent entity, if you get your panties in a twist to the point of willingly decoupling from usa over frozen shithole, you will need a new host to attach yourself to, which will be either china or russia, have fun.
>>730713229AI is just a scam the chinks are running to force production of tech within their borders. Always was.
>>730713229NahWe're on the track to cooling actuallyOpenAI (the hyperscaler behind the buying out 40% of all imaginary RAM) keeps losing contracts, recently lost an Apple contract to Google. Tech is turning it's back on Scam Altman.Google is leading and they don't stupidly build out above scale, and they also make their own chips.The guy in your image is just kinda spouting random nonsense probably because he's holding the bag.

>>730714831>openAI and Trump are chinksLive and learn
>>730713229In English, Professor?
dont need better than DDR4 to play most games and due to PC gaming getting more expensive i expect more devs to cater to poors more and for technological jumps to not be grow as much, so my ddr4 should last another 8 years.
>>730714940HANGING ON THE EDGE OF TOMORROW
>>730714959shits fucked
>>730714639are you sure we will return?i studied this case a lot...some factories will start working only around the end of 2026and in general "going back" will happen only somewhere 2028-2023thats a fuckton of time... and then we not even sure if "theyyyyyy" (companies) will allow us to have pre 2025 prices at all
>>730714870GPT is too censored, that's why. Others will accelerate further
>DDR5not my problem
>>730714824Europe was independent at one point but last ruler that had such view was de Gaulle>left NATO because mutts shouldn't be involved in Europe>warned everyone not to let UK into EU or mutts will seize control over EU via UKObviously mutts used color revolution to see him gone but he was right, now both NATO and EU exist to serve US and literally nobody in Europe can even comprehend that countries can be independent, not even anons like you because of so much mutt brainwashing
>>730713435>It's still cheapit's still cheaper than ddr5 but the price for ddr4 is rising as well
>>730714971Reminder that Crysis was possible and still looks good
>>730714824Oh no, not China. The country that is invested in having stability since it helps grow the economy. At this point China is a more reliable partner than USA and is increasingly the lesser of two evils. America had its time but they decided that they wanted to shit the bed and burn all the bridges that didn't lead to Israel.
>>730713229Steam Deck 2 is the only RAM I need.
I just looked up the system requirements of all the best games of all time and I didn't notice any that require more than 1gb of ram

>>730715126>mutts puppets infest Europe with migrantsIs this your point, really? Obviously Europe are going to be mutts themselves in future generation, that's the point of migration.
>>730715031Are you Russian or something?NATO is service to USEU is service to Germany
>>730715031See this >>730715063 mentality is why europe will never be anything more than a leech for foreseeable future, there is no will for independence, just parasite looking for another host.
>>730715005That too but also Google's models are generally ahead of OpenAI's (hence the code red Altman raised late last year)And on top of that CEOs are waking up and would rather work with a safe bet company who has income besides AIAnd mind you Altman is singlehandedly to blame for the RAM scare, you've been sharing markets with the tech companies for years and you haven't even noticedHyperscaling is the key problem here and it's driving the entire bubble chain (OpenAI, Nvidia, Oracle, Softbank) into running out of imaginary money to throw into the black holetl;dr AI isn't going anywhere, but the clowns behind excessive hoarding of software are on borrowed time>inb4 too big to fail, bailout, etcOpenAI's competition will not allow them to get a bailout because they'll want to collect the scraps, bubble aside "ChatGPT" is a known name and Google/Microslop/Anthropic would surely like to buy it
>>730713229When the prices get so high they alienate the consumer market, the bubble bursts. Exactly what happened with chinese housing bubble few years back.
>check the price of my RAM sticks again>the price increased £100 in a monthAverage waitfag must be pic related at the moment
>>730713229>AI company publishes new paper that says they need more moneywoah
What are some ways to increase the longevity of your PC components and reduce the odds of random failurei havent had a major component like a video card fail in like ten years but that could just mean i'm due..
>>730714986No, of course I’m not sure. If I could predict the future price of things I would be way richer than I am now. But right now there’s not only AI companies buying this (which might go under and lead to a liquidation of all of their useful tech components) but also speculative buyers that are buying this shit up to sell later. At some point there is going to be a switch from demand excess to supply excess, and depending on how big of the flip it could result in massive discounts.Again the price will stabilize at some point, it’s basic economics. This also isn’t a brand thing it’s a technology thing. It’s not like the price of a switch 2 which Nintendo has sole control over. It’s the free market.
>>730715228>goal is "you'll own nothing">he think they care about normal people buying RAM ever againAnon, it's cloud gaming future (no matter how fucking awful it will be, there won't be alternative), renting, subscription, etc. services. You will own nothing, not home, not car, not even computer.
>>730715305>it's cloud gaming future (no matter how fucking awful it will be, there won't be alternative)The alternative will be that people go back to drinking in bars again if the expensive tech they buy doesn't fucking work. Google Stadia failed miserably because the input lag was simply too much. Value of GPU and RAM depreciates so fast in 2-5 years that they can't keep them rotting in a warehouse forever with prices up.
>>730715204That's what I thought pussy. >DURRRRRRRRRR ITS AMERICA'S FAULTit's our fault that swedish women have such an affinity for somalians that both their biggest diasporas are in the same area? Really nigger?
>>730715215I'm not looking for a host, I'm looking for the least shitty option. My ideal scenario would be Europe picking themselves up from their bootstraps and actually start doing something themselves, independent of the rest of the world. More teamwork within Europe working toward a shared goal. But since our politicians are spineless no matter who you try to vote for I can only go down the realistic route, which right now is partner-vassalage with China. At least they won't threaten to bomb up because they know that'd also hurt the economy they are preciously trying to cultivate. With America you won't know what schizo shit you'll wake up to next morning, every morning.
>>730714039>imagine a cat twerking on the hood of your car foreverIt would be funny if it weren't so sad
>>730715228The bubble will burst much earlier than that because the companies who lead in AI are outside of the bubble that overspends and overpromisesOpenAI won't survive because literally all they have is AINvidia will lose the artificial growth but they'll be fine because they have the consumer market (you can tell they know about the future of the bubble because they keep up gaming research and development and will bring back old GPUs for a bit if they have to, just to keep their core brand)Oracle will be fine because they own the data centers and will just rent out to someone else
>>730713229why can't chinks just copy the technology and produce their pc parts?>b-but it takes yearsyeah they had like 40 yearsthey produce fucking cars and everything, why not ram
>>730715514>Oracle will be fine because they own the data centers and will just rent out to someone elseI don't know about that one, because value of data center GPU and RAM depreciates so fast that US banks don't accept them as collateral for loans. So Oracle would have to find a good alternative really fast after the bubble bursts or the whole warehouse turns into metal junk storage.
>>730715305>You will own nothing, not home, not car, not even computer.Too late for all of that on my part, bozo.
>>730715575Fair enoughAnd i don't think Softbank will be willing to go down with themI amend what i said, only Nvidia will survive
>>730715519Corruption and corner cutting. Xi cracked down on chinese tech companies taking CCP funding 4 years back, main leaders all went to prison for corruption charges when it turned out 80% of the funds were embezzled. Its hard to make quality products or research in planned economy environment where government sets quotas that you have to meet no matter what. If they already know they're going to fail, then they will just cut corners, lie about the results and keep some of the money for themselves.
>>730715519>they produce fucking cars and everything, why not ramComputer parts require high precision manufacturing that your local chink sweatshop assembly line couldn't replicate.By the time the ultimate a DDR5 factory, DDR6 will be already out.>>730715575>Oracle would have to find a good alternative really fast after the bubble bursts or the whole warehouse turns into metal junk storage.I for one look forward to 2027 RAM prices costing 10$
>>730713229>BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY RIGHT NOW!!! BUY IT RIGHT NOW THE MEMORY'S GONNA RUN OUT AND THE PRICES WILL BE GOUGED FO-RE-VER THEY WILL GO UP UP UP BUY BUY BUY!!!No, I don't think I will.
>>730715519I'll let you in on a secret anon, the "shortage" (which isn't an actual shortage, it's a shortage based on """contracts""" which are likely to not be fulfilled because of the quicksand OpenAI is built on) isn't physical, they're in capacity to produce more chips, it's not that the fabs are firing on all cylinders, manufacturers admitted they could produce more but won't because they don't want to be left with too much product in case the bubble pops (which it will)
>>730713229nah I'll just never upgrade again if prices never drop. if my shit breaks then I guess I'm not a gameur anymore. you aren't going to get me with this bullshit>>730713658same I have way more ram than I will ever need.
>>730715754>manufacturers admitted they could produce more but won't because they don't want to be left with too much product in case the bubble pops (which it will)One would think it would be smarter to manufacture and leave some on the storage for selling to consumers with the old prices if the bubble popping is inevitable. Data center GPUs and RAMs are overused by the data centers so their value would be strictly worse compared to basically brand new unused GPUs waiting in a warehouse.
>sure we're going to pay a gorillion dollars for PC parts from now on, but it's all worth it to enshittify every single product in existence, make customer support services impossible to get anything out of, and destroy the intelligence and education of children and the common man forever!There's never been such a successful technology that has no benefits from any angle before. It's like a study in self destruction.
>>730715883You would think but they're basically "monitoring the situation" for lack of the better wordNot doing anything until the situation unfolds i guess
I was going to get a new pc this year but I'm not sure what to do now. Most ddr5 cost 500-900 euros here so I'll probably just end up getting ddr4 for 200 and call it a day. It's crazy that this shit can happen so suddenly.
>>730715305>there won't be alternativeExcept there will be because at the end of the day the free market means demand will get supply. Even if that demand means a regression of video game graphics back to the sort of games that can be run off a toaster. The ruling elites have had retarded ideas since the day humanity had elites and it never works out for them longer term. There is no viable market for big budget video games via cloud gaming. The idea of locking down all personal computers to a service style model while also boasting access to video games by download to run them directly on the computer are hardly exclusive concepts and are likely the end position. Computers will become like game consoles, completely locked down hardware. This cloud service shit isn't going to happen.

>>730714417>"let us fund, produce and advertise a game that only 4% of users can run"Said no publisher ever.It used to be common sense that games are developed for the mainstream hardware. If the mainstream hardware is low RAM, games will be developed for low RAM.That's the whole reason behind the "consoles are keeping graphics back" argument back when.

>>730716160>There's just a temporary opportunistic rise in RAM prices as a knee jerk reaction to the OpenAI dealjust like GPU prices would totally go back to normal and cheap GPU's would flood the market once crypto popped right?
>>730713996>, this means new games won't require as much of it,lmao no they fired everyone who could optimize shit
>>730716245They have, yesThat did happen actually. It's how i got a 3090 24GB on the cheap
>>730716201>let us fund, produce and advertise a game that only 4% of users can runAnon, this reasoning didn't stop companies to actually release games like that.Borderlands 4 or less recent Monster Hunter Wild running like shit even with a 5090 is an example.
>>730716315Didn't both of these games underperform in sales
>>730713229No you retard, you do the exact opposite of what these faggots reported >oh no, bitcoin/stock x/gold is sky rocketing, dont miss the hype train! When you stop seeing articles like that is the time to buy
>>730716191>Anon, asset companies like Blackrock are the biggest companies in the worldBlackrock Nordic strategist Roelof Salomons already alarmed that AI bubble might burst in 1-2 years.>>730716245That already happened. Just two months ago GPU prices were coming down for the holiday season. Now RAM prices raised them up again.
>>730713996>If RAM will get very expensive, this means new games won't require as much of itOh yeah, right, that's why most new games don't need a recent GPU to run. Capitalism just works!
People need to realize that the AI bubble is going to pop, but also what the AI bubble actually isThe AI bubble (the thing you're competing with for hardware) is OpenAI, Oracle and NvidiaThe companies who don't run on debt and don't build beyond scale are outside of the bubble and they don't threaten your ability to get hardware either
>>730716358Correct, but they didn't know that prior to release the games.The companies were confident enough to release said games in such a state nonetheless.
>>730716201Anon, game companies literally do not care about the performance of their PC ports. If you can't tell this after the last couple of years, I really have no idea what to tell you.
>>730716664Anon, CDPR nearly went bankrupt because of bad Cyberpunk performance on release.Steam has mass refunded and pulled multiple games due to bad performance on release.
>>730716708That was mainly because CP2077 performed like utter shit even on consoles. Remember the shitshow at release on PS4? It was literally unplayable.
>>730713553It's done nothing good other than enable the braindead and incompetent.
>>730716664>Anon, game companies literally do not care about the performance of their PC ports.Japanese companies are usually lazy with it, but eventually the performance patch comes out. Its the reason why I'm not going to buy Nioh 3 on release because I know it will run like shit for the first 3-4 months, just like Nioh 2 did.
>>730716708And that refutes my point... how, exactly?>>730716791>picrelYeah, I would.
>>730716708and yet companies continue to release games like Stalker 2 and MHW2 with no optimization at all and vague "use upscale and framegen, lol" answers from developers

I'm all set
I threw away a shitty old laptop with 4GB RAM in it. It was classic old ass green RAM sticks, PC ran like shit tooDid I just throw away a gem or was it simply too outdated for anything?I even opened the damn thing to keep the 250GB HDD but the ram sticks looked so shitty that I just kept them there

>ai is the future lmfao>it’ll get even more advanced soonWe literally can’t keep up with the amount of resources it’s consuming. What if AI won’t be able to advance much further beyond what it is now due to the astronomical resource consumption? Everyone is dumping billions of dollars into this shit and there’s no guarantee that we can keep it going at this rate. What if we just run out of the shit that keeps it going? What then?

>>730717327Depends on the CPU and what the max ram compacity is. I'm assuming it runs DDR3 which is still cheap right now so if you doubled the RAM and put an SSD in it with a fresh copy of W10 LTSC it would've been fine for web browsing and porn.

>>730713229>On the verge of panic buying a prebuilt since some of them are good deals now.>Also have a feeling that when I get one, the prices will come down and all the panic will have been for nothing.I hate being a pussyfooting waitfag.
>>730714081maybe try not playing in 4gay and turn off goytracing
>>730717561Yes, anon, hardware needed to run video games is video games territory.
>>730713553Congrats on the transition anon!
>>730717984Its not the textures that make the difference. Textures are very easy to make ultra-realistic nowadays thanks to photogrammetry, you can make an ultra-realistic 3D model of your face with your own cellphone and good light source right now. The difference between card performances depend on what resolution you're playing with. If you're playing with 1080p or 2k then all modern games run just fine with 3060 12 Gb. If you really want the 4k meme then you have to have the 4000+ series.
>>730717998Prebuilts are good for "fresh start rigs" if your rig is too old that you need to replace most stuff anyway. You can then replace prebuilt parts with better ones over time.
>>730718093I'm on 4k but atleast I can use ps4 emulator longer than 30 minutes before needing to restart it due to vram leaks lmao
>>730713229That's all well and good for people who don't have DDR5, but TIME UNTIL KOBOLD IS UPDATED TO LEVERAGE THIS TO GIVE ME EVEN MORE ABSOLUTELY MORE DISGUSTING FILTH WHEN?
>>730717998>Also have a feeling that when I get one, the prices will come downLike they did with GPU? Come on, prices will never go down, ever.
>>730714824Europe has absolutely no need for America, their economy is well diversified and they are capable of manufacturing everything they need. The US relies heavily on parasitic tech companies being adopted abroad, very little is lost by dumping them.
No, for fuck sake, no. I WON'T buy in advance, I WON'T give up to fear and burn money. I WILL upgrade as usual in next 5 years or something since my last upgrade was around 2 years ago. If by some chance I won't be able to afford PC anymore or won't be able to buy components, I will stick to what I have until it break down.Stop fearmongering. Stop spreading panic to make people buy things they don't need yet. FOMO is a bitch and people already hoard various physical and digital goods most of which they won't be even able to consume due to sheer number of those. This is ridiculous and I won't take part of it. Fuck it all.
>>730718026>Max settings>1080p.
>>730718249As much as I would love EU to be fully independent, if US will get mad they might force MS to cut off Windows remotely and it's not some crazy conspiracy theory idea.
>>730718289waitbros just keep getting btfo lmao.
>>730718128Yeah all my parts are from 2017-18 so they all need an upgrade. Not a fan of prebuilds but some I've been looking at would be cheaper than getting the parts separately.>>730718237You're right, but I just have dogshit luck and always seem to make the wrong decisions.
>>730713229
>>730718289Anon, I want to believe, but waiting got us into this mess. I don't know if waiting will get us out anymore.
>>730718347I don't "wait". When I need something, I buy it. When I don't, I leave it be. I refuse to burn money at specific moment because HOLY SHIT PRICES WILL GO UP. Same shit as with GPU - I was told thousands of times to BUY NOW but I kept using my then RX480. After 7 years bought RX6700XT, which I use now. Meanwhile passed several BUY NOW OR IT WILL BE TOO LATE periods. What I missed? Maybe some expensive card that I would have to replace anyway?
>>730718336Oh nooooo what will we do without microslop and windows.... If they did that it would lead to one of the greatest overnight advancements in software we've ever seen. The fear of them doing that should already get European governments to remove windows from all critical systems.
>we are going back to the days it was cheaper to buy a prebuilt and take the gpu out than to buy it separately but with ramOof
>>730718481The point is that you don't wait for prices and quality to match. You are not supposed to wait at all. Waiting would mean postponing purchase because of incoming another model/situation/etc that would be more profitable for you, as in "why should I buy Penetrator9000 when ExtraPenetrator9500 is releasing next month?". Instead you have "oh no, I HAVE to buy Penetrator9000 RIGHT NOW even if I don't need it yet because prices will go up soon!". First approach is reasonable to a degree (and you could argue that it can be indefinitely prolonged in "wait loop"), second is just FOMO shit pushing you to waste money. Don't do this to yourself.
>>730718336>be EU in 2027>trump mad EU is still going>order MS to lock windows out of EU>EU panics and in a week all the public administration PCs are upgraded to Ubuntu>legacy software run on old windows that stopped receiving updates long ago>life resumes normally>eventually Trump lifts the lock>40% of global Microsoft Windows market permanently lostMasterful gambit sir.
>>730718558Of course, what could go wrong with remotely disabling OS that runs on overwhelming majority of consumer and government PCs? Surely everyone would just snap their fingers and magically install some cool Linux distro within minutes with everything working 100% correctly.What are you smoking?
>>730714328Only one company produces the machines needed to make cutting edge chips and they weren't (aren't?) allowed to export to China.
>>730718558>remove windows from all critical systems.Pretty sure no critical system use windows, anywhere on Earth, not just EU. Windows system just isn't stable enough to be used in any critical structure.
>>730714394>I have no idea what’s going to happen to the population though.War.
>>730718336Its a pointless horror scenario because top 3 global marketplaces in the world are US, EU and China in that order. If US wants to make money they trade with EU and vice versa, there is no secret 4th big market ready to replace the loss of a trade partner out there.
>>730713229even more? I already have 256GB, can't even fit that shit in my pc but /v/ keeps telling me to buy more and more before they hike the price even higher, gotta take out a loan if this keeps going.
>>730718752It's either that or getting defaulted due to massive service outages.
>>730714087But i WANT your turd world shithole to collapse
>>730718493>>730718649I see what you're saying. The problem for me is that I was originally going to build a new pc last year since my parts are showing their age, put it off and then got blind sided by the massive price increase. Now I'm at the point where I either wait and risk things getting way worse or just rip off the band-aid now and just upgrade. I agree that panic upgrading from 2 year old parts is a bad investment and just falling for fomo.

>>730718889>in that order.False. China have more middle class citizens than entire US population, not even talk about EU. Chinese market is desired by every company as top priority. You can even see so with games where developers only care about Chinese player opinion while nobody cares what US/EU want.

>>730714870>[Google] make their own chipsThey _design_ their own chips*, they don't have their own fabs. Fab capacity is the limiting factor for chip production and Google consumes fab capacity, so Google is still sensitive to and participates in shortages.* Sometimes. Some of "their" chips are rebrands of chips designed by other companies, e.g. the Tensor SoCs in Pixel devices are really Samsung Exynos SoCs.>>730715883>One would think it would be smarter to manufacture and leave some on the storage for selling to consumers with the old prices if the bubble popping is inevitable.Server grade memory chips aren't the same as consumer grade memory chips. If they produced all the memory chips for AI that they're supposed to, after the bubble they'd be left with ECC chips that are no good for gaming (more expensive, higher latency, require specialised CPU and memory).

Imagine if AI was legit instead of being 80% grift with boomers yelling "JUST LEARN AI YOU WILL BE LEFT BEHIND IFYOU DON'T" . All to inflate their retirement portfolio that they didn't start investing in until they were 50, not because AI is actually worthwhile.

>>730716358>>730716536Borderlands 4 didn't underperform by any proper metric. It was the most successful launch in the history of the franchise, and easily made it into the Platinum tier of Steam's top selling new releases for 2025. Reports on success don't even rely on bogus shit like "units sold" or "player counts," but instead doing massively well in sheer revenue. The only comment about ""underperforming"" in any sense just came from Take-Two saying "yeah it knocked it out of the park, we were just hoping for even more"
>>730723991It is not like you played any vidya in last 5 years anyway, you just come here to bitch and moan.
>>730715228they don't need your market right now and they know it will still be there whenever this retardation endsnobody is building new fabs in the next 5 years
>>730724060Listen Mr Shekelblat, I'm not buying what you're selling.
What steps are you taking to make sure the very last PC you will ever feasibly own lasts?
>>7307224475 years ago this "AI" couldn't do shit. Now it does stuff experts said wouldn't be possible for decades(like video generation). Improving year after year... it's just going to stop improving now.
>>730724037Ok Randy
>>730724145Just regular maintenance. Dust your PC about once every 6 months, change thermal pads on your GPU as needed, add more thermal paste to your CPU when temps start to rise. Realistically the thing that will break on a semi-regilar schedule (10 years or so) is your PSU, and those are a dome a dozen.
>>730713229I am not going to engage in your panic purchases.
>>730724037>Reports on success don't even rely on bogus shit like "units sold" or "player countsI wonder why randy?
>>730717998I bet you still think Bitcoin will come down lmao.I missed the boat on Bitcoin, I'm NOT missing this.>t. Bought 50 DDR5s a month ago with a loan.I will be RICHAnd I will be HA- LESS MISERABLE.
>>730724145I already have spares of the most expensive parts (RAM and GPU) and maintain the PC every month or so.
>>730717952>gorilla niggerStill my favorite Terryism
>>730724281>change thermal pads on your GPU as neededI'm too much of a pussy to do that. I'm always afraid I'll fuck something up.
>>730724567It's not often needed, but you can squeeze out a couple of extra years on the card by doing it.
>>730723991>Then I'll just stop playing VidyaThat's the goal, anon.Remove all forms of entertainment and distractionLeave only suicide, military service and breeding more taxpayers.
>>730722407>Current LLMs are utter shit at remembering details and retaining important informationsBut /g/ told me I can have my own Lord of the Rings adventure with waifus that will span several years and remember everything perfectly years ago
>>730724145if we really reach a point where I can't build a new pc, I will just go innawoods and write poetry
>>730722642i went to buy a fridge for my MiL last weekend and that's literally not trye you lying piece of shitespecially with samsung fridges, there were some functionalities (like energy saving "ai" modes) where you HAD to have an app for it, otherwise it wouldn't work
>>730724510>I wonder whyProbably because of the fact that every fucking time (You) people hear "units sold" or "player counts" you cope with>oh they're counting units bundled in with other shit/given away with GPUs>oh they're counting anyone that connects to their servers, regardless of whether they refunded or borrowed a copy or whatever the fuckso then it just comes down to raw revenue dollars, although (You) niggers certainly still try to say that "uhhhh blacktually, they're also counting copies bundled into consoles" even though everyone that does analytics already states that console bundle revenue is attributed to the console only.
>>730724769Or take up hunting. CEO/Banker season is all year round no limits in times like these since they are pests
>>730713553why would you post something so controversial yet so brave?
>>730724781/g/ is full of chink shills and sensationalists.You can literally try LLMs yourself if you want.Go download any 12B model or of you have the RAM and VRAM, even a 24B, set it up with KoboldCPP (piss easy to configure), and see for yourself after many messages it starts forgetting and creating its own details. Not even RAG and vectorization can save it.
>>730724895>there are optional features where you HAD to connect to wifiI stand by my point.
>>730721870make your own fridge
>>730713229I have 16 gigs, which is more than enough for every game worth playing.
I'm not buying shit, KYS shills
>We are witnessing the end of PC gamingB A S E D timeline
Still not buying new RAM. Still comfortable sticking with my AM4 build with 32GB DDR4. In fact, I actually just dropped some dosh on ITX case/mobo/PSU so I could shove my PC into a smallboi case just for the sake of aesthetics. Still going strong with my 5800x3d and 7900xtx. Not gonna have to upgrade for a good long time still (not that there will ever be a reason to ever upgrade when all new games are trash)
>>730725379This will fuck your ass too, tendie, your fisher price toy tablet needs RAM too
>>730713229Cool, cool... but where is AI creating the value to justify the hilariously huge investments all these suits and governments do? Like, what is the punchline here?
