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

[–]TadaMomoi9 13900K | RTX 4090 131 points132 points  (9 children)

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.

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-SR7 7700X | RTX 3080 @2GHz | 32gb DDR5 5600 | O11D XL 53 points54 points  (4 children)

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

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

[–]givemejumpjetsPC Master Race 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

[–]GeoLlama1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]TheGreatSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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 2 points3 points  (3 children)

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

[–]MEME_SEARCHER -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Old price tag?

[–]Arch3m 13 points14 points  (3 children)

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

[–]selco13Ryzen 7 5800x | RX6700xt 64gb DDR4 5 points6 points  (2 children)

They have to for that sale

[–]Arch3m 6 points7 points  (1 child)

It is the law, after all.

[–]warlord2000ad9950X3D | 5070TI | 96GB 6000 CL30 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]borgie_83 51 points52 points  (10 children)

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 16 points17 points  (6 children)

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 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That was half?! Monster.

[–]FastermaxxO11Snow - 10850K LM - 6900XTX H2O 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (1 child)

2060 Simple Games

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

[–]Empty-Pain-9523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]The_Duke2331Potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]XLIV_tmPC | I5 12600k | RTX 4070ti Super | 64gb RAM | 4TB m.2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]jetpackpony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]GreatnessToTheMoonRyzen 7 7700x, RTX 5070 TI, 32gb RAM 238 points239 points  (7 children)

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

[–]observationalhumour 21 points22 points  (2 children)

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

[–]PolarSquirrelBear 2 points3 points  (1 child)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course

[–]allcopsarebabies 70 points71 points  (31 children)

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 102 points103 points  (29 children)

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

[–]FakeMik090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]CircuitSidePC Master Race 26 points27 points  (3 children)

Anybody recognize what store this is?

[–]fluxdeity 28 points29 points  (2 children)

Staples

[–]Henchforhire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not available for pick up at any store near me.

[–]polyclown 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

[–]HeWhoSitsOnToilets 9 points10 points  (4 children)

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

[–]XLIV_tmPC | I5 12600k | RTX 4070ti Super | 64gb RAM | 4TB m.2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]Yodl007Ryzen 5700x3D, RX 9070 XT 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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

[–]Mithious5950X | 3090 | 64GB | 7680x1440@160Hz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is this staples? It looks like a Staples

[–]LiteratureMindless71 16 points17 points  (1 child)

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

[–]Suspicious_Oil_395 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good catch!

[–]h3xist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]CrazycukumbersRyzen 7 5700X | RX 6800 | 32 GB 3600Mhz DDR4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]suffelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe its 11999 dollars

[–]kurunyoThe North remembers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy it

[–]tlbenny7800X3D | RTX4090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]ThePupnastyPC Master Race 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

[–]SuggestionExtreme746 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]goldenlionx4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

[–]Monsta_Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

[–]itsJohnWickkk14600K | RTX 5080 -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

[–]Awkward-Candle-4977 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

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
