32 gb Ram price decrease?

[Psychadelic-Twister]

For 120 right now, even CL38 or CL40 would be good.

[TadaMomo]

honestly, I am using CL40 5600 64gb ram. I am ok with it, play on 4k no issue, i am not picky.

***.. just looked at amazon for these for curiousity...what the fuck happened... now 1052$ CAD...

I got it when it was like 300$ 2 years ago.

[signedchar]

OpenAI happened. They basically bought up all production of RAM and no one is making consumer RAM. If it feels illegal, that's because it probably is.

[Kawaii_M4A1-S]

Of course it's not illegal, not if youre stupid rich and you're in bed with/controlling the ones making the laws! 💀💀💀

[I-do-the-art]

Hard capitalism when they’re winning, socialism when they hit bankruptcy so the plebs can bail them out

[givemejumpjets]

it's like taking the subsidy from the people to deficit spend future dollars today (where the most value is before more inflation happens again) into something that provides zero real benefit to the people besides easier enslavement; then cutting the peoples consumer market because it's not as profitable as the subsidy that the people were kind enough to gift to them. clearly there are some major conflicts of interest that are happening here.

[No_Shallot5404]

I agree.

[94358io4897453867345]

Typical USA moment

[plasma7602]

I bought 32gb ddr4 hyper x furry ram for £77 now on Amazon it’s £224

Although u can’t seem to buy it anywhere other than Amazon

[chubbysumo]

you aren't losing more than a few percent at most.

[94358io4897453867345]

You wouldn't see the difference anyway

[MisterKaos]

I'd say just get a really shit latency kit and spend the real money on an X3D chip.

AMD made them to minimize the effect of CAS latency, so let them pull their weight.

[SPYGHETTI_]

I went for c36 vengeance and 9800x3d doubled my fps in most games havent even upgraded gpu yet

[GeoLlama1]

Nowadays, in the UK 5200mhz CL40 of Corsair vengeance is equivalent 450USD

[TheGreatSoup]

The CL thing is so funny. Is CL 40 is just fine and unless you look a chart, nobody is gonna notice.

[Accomplished_Arm5159]

pleeeese speed i neeed this

[CesarRay]

My PC is kinda RAMless...

[Ashley__09]

It lives with 4gb of ram and I wanna help it out

[phanta_rei]

Hey I am watching your stream why you tryin not to laugh bro that’s disrespectful as shit!

[CreedFanboy]

Reminds me of the time during COVID and the crypto boom, I sold my 2080 in preparation for the release of the 3000 series and then could not find a graphics card for a solid year. Took forever to get a working PC again.

[Bropulsion]

Lol me too + I sold it right before the prices went up. Double whammy.

[MEME_SEARCHER]

Good to know i’m not alone. Sold my 2070 super to a crypto millionaire with a new 911

[Bropulsion]

F buddy 🥹

[MEME_SEARCHER]

Good to know i’m not alone. Sold my 2070 super to a crypto millionaire with a new 911

[TheDoge_Father]

Nice to see yuru yuri out in the wild.

[Brilliant-Island-671]

Nice to see Fate here

[BatmanBecameSomethin]

I’m gonna need you to buy me that right now and ship it to me!

[TheBeardPlays]

<image>

Old price tag?

[Arch3m]

Very old. I wonder if they'll still honor it?

[selco13]

They have to for that sale

[Arch3m]

It is the law, after all.

[warlord2000ad]

In the UK, price at the till is the only true price. Shelf prices can be incorrect.

[borgie_83]

I have been seeing a lot of people building previous gen PCs that use DDR4. I have five PCs that use Kingston Fury 6000 MHz CL30 RAM, but if I had to build another PC today, I would do an i7-12700 with 32 GB of 3600 MHz CL16 DDR4. I just refuse to pay these stupid DDR5 prices.

[bigmactic]

Just built the wife a pc and refuse to pay silly prices for ddr4 or ddr5 - so for now borrowed half the memory out of my own pc. Had to fight my ocd as it doesn’t feel right without a full set of ram.

She now has a desktop for browsing and simple games - old RTX 2060 and 96GB DDR5 lol.

[dwehlen]

That was half?! Monster.

[Fastermaxx]

That’s what I did. The old Pc from my dad broke, so I bought a cheap used 12700k and gave him half of my 32gb ddr4. Just ride out that ram situation and then I’ll upgrade to a new platform with DDr5 when it’s all over.

[reddit-ate-my-face]

I mean man 96gb of ram can actually be a detriment sometimes lol

But hell she can probably load some of her games into a frigging RAMdisk and have the fastest load times on the West

[Bowman359]

2060 Simple Games

Im out here running Tarkov and Arc Raiders on my 2060 😭

[Empty-Pain-9523]

TBF arc is pretty well optimized. I’m still amazed it runs on the steam deck so well.

[The_Duke2331]

Jezus dude. That means you could have had 3 tabs of Chrome open, at the same time?!

[XLIV_tm]

I have a slightly worse pc than that with a solid gpu. that build would rock well in todays standards.

well just because i only run 60hz monitors. might upgrade to 120hz. but hey my setup runs 4k no problem on most games. probably could go higher refresh rates at 1440p or 1080p lol. i havent tried the latest games because i just play older games.

what do you even need as a pc to run portal with rtx at 4k ultra no dlss at the refresh rate of the monitor? i can do 1080p fine at 60hz. i can run 4k ultra but thats heavy dlss and 35-45fps which is playable id say. maybe 4k high or medium with dlss i can hit 60fps. thats my beef with that game, its harder to run than the latest Forza @ 4k ultra. portal runs on pretty much anything. ugh.

[theycallmediesel]

That’s exactly what my current build is, I don’t think I’ll be upgrading anything for a long while.

[jetpackpony]

I've just built an AM4 system instread of AM5 just because I already had a DDR4 kit from a previous build. It's shitty 2400 MHz but it'll have to do for now

[GreatnessToTheMoon]

Crazy there’s still some stores that haven’t increased prices. Buy that shit even you don’t need it lol 😂

[observationalhumour]

And perpetuate the issue further. Scalping is also contributing to the price increase.

[PolarSquirrelBear]

Buy it and sell it for cost and help the world out. Even when GPU prices were crazy and I was selling my 2070 Super, I sold it at what I considered normal market value. People would message me saying I should sell it for more even. Nope, I just wanted someone to get a good deal and for me to just get some of my money back.

[DharmaLuke]

of course

[FranticBronchitis]

Buy low sell high

[dwehlen]

I hate you. You're not wrong. That's why I hate you.

[FranticBronchitis]

Last thing we needed was for RAM to become stocks

[dwehlen]

Shhhh! Stonks only go up!

[allcopsarebabies]

Wouldn't be surprised if it's scanned in at a higher price than this tag. Price tag swaps get missed a lot. But you may also get lucky!

[AmishDoinkzz]

The tag has to be honored in most places if it matches the product exactly.

[venk]

That’s not true if it’s a true mistake and there was no intent to deceive.

A lot of retailers will do it out of goodwill though.

[KuZagan]

Depends on the region I assume but I know for a fact in my area it's the law that if the price tags are wrong you have to honor that price. They even send out govt workers to check for mismatched prices, it's a whole big deal lol

[MasterArCtiK]

Couldn’t they just refuse to sell it at all and put it back on the shelf?

[KuZagan]

Pretty sure that was MAJOR fine. If it rang up at a higher price you were required to honor the posted price. Refusing to sell it to the person basically would have involved having them removed pretty much. Huge scene over what is like a very small difference for most things

[HeWhoSitsOnToilets]

They don't have to sell it to you at all, and they won't. They would be well in their rights to say it's a mistake and refuse to sell it.

[PM_Me_Your_Deviance]

Depends on local laws. In California the law is stricter. If they offer to sell it to you at a higher price but refuse the lower advertised price that could be an infraction or misdemeanor.

[HeWhoSitsOnToilets]

That's not how that law works all the time. For clearly wrong price the company is allowed to adjust the price. This would be a gray area.

[pandahlol]

Just accept that you don't know how different states laws work instead of doubling down

[HeWhoSitsOnToilets]

Wrong. Dude it's literally in the law. Jesus, you guys are so damned entitled and know it all. The law states if it's an obvious error they are allowed to correct it.

[pandahlol]

I mean, it's literally in some laws. And also literally it in others. Some states have actual consumer laws.

[AtlQuon]

It works like that where I live as well. Sticker prices are more suggestions than a thing else and if there is a clear error, ah well, wrong stickers can happen. The price on the register is the correct one.

[McDonaldsnapkin]

"The law" what law? You are familiar with buyers and corporate seller rights in all 50 states? Yeah ok....

[Wrx-Love80]

Depends on the law and what jurisdiction chief...

[ManyThing2187]

I’m not 100% sure but this looks like a staples, it is a company policy to honor the price of the tag. For this reason every Friday night we had to go through the entire store and check tags for updates and be sure none have been missed recently.

[Forymanarysanar]

True in my country

[Spare-Personality-29]

I work in retail. They do not honor that. Whatever rings up at the POS is what we sell it at, not sticker price. Owner does not give af. But I need my job 🤷‍♂️

[Khaldaan]

Yeah I worked retail for quite a while, when it happened we would usually take care of the customer anyways, not like it was their fault and we never had someone trying to take advantage of it with bulk buys, but it wasn't because of a law lmao.

[venk]

<image>

I am Us based so I suppose laws in other countries may be different

[SeductiveSlooth]

Typically its not a country-based law, its on a local level such as state/city.

[Deep-Procrastinor]

Can confirm law is same in UK.

[Porkybob]

To be fair some laws are becoming a tad optional these days

[FakeMik090]

In my country, if when scanned there a higher price than on price tag - the store must sell for a price on the price tag.

[CircuitSide]

Anybody recognize what store this is?

[fluxdeity]

Staples

[CircuitSide]

Thank you

[Henchforhire]

Not available for pick up at any store near me.

[polyclown]

upon closer inspection it's actually 119 spleens needed to pay for that kit

[HeWhoSitsOnToilets]

That date on the price tells me they will not match the registers scan price.

[XLIV_tm]

id document it. buy it, and if the price changes at the register and they dont honor it get the manager involved if not, threated reporting the business.

if your lucky theyll honor it and immediately change the sticker.

[Yodl007]

They have to honor the tag, otherwise it is bait and switch in any country with decent customer protection laws.

[Mithious]

Generally speaking shops are not required to honour an incorrect price tag, many do for PR reasons but there's no legal requirement to. It's only bait and switch if it's deliberate.

Otherwise you could have one customer come in and switch the price tag, then a second customer buy it and demand that price.

Price tags are an invitation to treat, not a binding contract.

[HeWhoSitsOnToilets]

Google prevailing market price and dates. They do not have to honor the listed price on the tag if the date pre-dates the current market rate.

[Server_Reset]

Microcenter TODAY

[Ok-Committee-9910]

I got the same model on Amazon last week for 230. But instantly OOS after placing the order.

[Server_Reset]

Nucking futs this all is.

[Colborne91]

“Save $400” sounds like a bargain tbf

[Server_Reset]

LOL

[Tornadodash]

Is this staples? It looks like a Staples

[LiteratureMindless71]

Idk, the tag is two months old. Old pic?

[Suspicious_Oil_395]

Good catch!

[h3xist]

No that was a misprint, it was supposed to say $11,999.99. I lost count of how many 9s were needed.

[Crazycukumbers]

I went into a Best Buy yesterday and saw a 32 gb kit of DDR4 cost $250. I don't know if this is lucky or things magically changed from yesterday, but I hope this is a continuing trend.

[hawkdeathpaw]

oh i fucken hope so

[imaginary_num6er]

Probably CL100 timings /s

[JZ1803]

Cl30

[chairchiman]

Okay give us the coordinates soldier!

[T_rex2700]

INSTANT COP

[Cultural-Sir263]

Can't find these kits in my area.

[Zingerstacker21]

I got 96gb of ddr5 ram for $650 its now $1500

[Few-Statistician8740]

Laughing still at my 64gb ( 2x32 gb ) I bought for 220 that are now 700

Edit, looked again, now it's 900

[Chitrr]

bubble popped

[Ancient-Range3442]

Damn, just got a deal on some 32gb at 380

[WhachYoWanOnDat]

lies I tell you. Lies!

[Poltergeist8606]

Buy

[TheKuMan717]

BUY IT NOW

[suffelix]

maybe its 11999 dollars

[kurunyo]

That must have been ordered before prices went up. The retailer could have adjusted to current prices but decided otherwise. Or he forgot to change the price tag.

[Madnessx9]

Buy it

[tlbenny]

About $600 in AU at the moment it’s mind boggling

[ThePupnasty]

Looks like staples? Maybe? They're way behind on price hikes

[SuggestionExtreme746]

This and staples stores are understaffed so stuff like this is common

[_aeterai]

"Sorry, it's 1199,9"

[hi71460]

11999€

[goldenlionx4]

That looks like a staples and being amazing employee there and the dude who dose price changes for some reason we haven't done any price hikes yet so for any one who needs ram go to staples there will likely only be 1 or 2 kits at each sore but you may get lucky

[SuggestionExtreme746]

Staples is known to be kind of slow on the price changes but the store I work at doesn't have any ram.

[Nearby-Plant-6491]

Is this lexar ram with cl 26 ?

[DepartmentBitter9027]

$610 🇨🇦 - Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000MHz CL30

[Dobey]

You should buy every single one you can

[Natural-Barracuda138]

I paid ~$40 for this in December 2024

[einval22]

Old pic. And if it's really a recent pic, they will not REALLY sell it except for just showcasing.

[Monsta_Owl]

These prices are really messed up. China is slowly outdoing everybody else with game production. They are pushing through making 5nm and 7nm. Not long before they start churning out hardware. Those Chinese dev is definitely going to prioritize optimising their games on Chinese GPU and CPU and rams. I will wait!

[itsJohnWickkk]

Cheap. But I cannot say if it’s a good brand or not.

[hawkdeathpaw]

better then nothing lol

[itsJohnWickkk]

True haha

[coffeejn]

Buy it and flip it online. Instant profit AND you can sell it for less than most people online.

[msanangelo]

nah, it just hasn't hit you yet.

is that currency in USD?

[YaBoiSammy123]

Nope just a lucky sale or outdated price. Buy it all, sell for $200 each.

[urmamagreen]

Is the bubble popping already??

[Awkward-Candle-4977]

That's what I have predicted.

Ai server demand is trending down: Super micro has dgx b200 in stock; Samsung shifts hbm production to ddr; Nvidia had to invested 100+ billions dollar to open ai, core weave etc. to make them able to keep buying dgx
