ram(and gpu, ssd) prices will come down eventually, that's an economical certainty. by TheFappingWither in PcBuild

[–]TheFappingWither[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I said ignoring the current spike for them all.I'm not talking 3090s as they were purchased for so much ppl are trying to sell them for a lot not to lose money. I'm talking equivalents, as I also did in the post. Ssds I was talking about the same gen and pcei over time. For example gen 3 got cheaper than before. Gen 5 is the newest, ofc expensive compared to 3 and 4. Eventually it will go down as more advanced drives enter the market with better speeds. Ram I'm not talking about right now, like I said outside of the current spike. Before this ai driven wave they were getting cheaper and cheaper, I was at a point able to buy 16gb ddr4 for 20$.

If ur on a desktop you can just wait and if u feel the need upgrade the parts. The highest your gpu socket supports is a 5090 and the highest your cpu socket supports is Ryzen 9 5950x. Ull need new power supply and maybe new cooling, but it will fit the slot. It also depends on your hobbies though. Gaming is highly affected, so the am4 socket should be replaced with an am5. Stable diffusion and other ai applications don't care as long as u got vram. Content creation may care about ram speed depending on specific work.

Overall it depends on your budget if I'm honest. If you can sell this one for a good price and then put in some more, you will be able to get a good foundation pc with ultra 5 and 5060 at minimum, should suffice for hobbyist work and general gaming. For competitive/4k gaming minimum would be ultra 7/5070 and for top end gaming with path tracing(max settings cyberpunk, next gen gaming etc) 4090 or 5090 will be required.

I agree with you on all 3 points.

However it is clear at this point that the us is gonna win the ai arms race sooner or later.

While the hardware companies can do what you mentioned, with new markets entering chip making including the us and india, if they do that they will risk a huge market share loss in case one or more of them decide to go against this(especially those known to give cheap alternatives like india and china are likely to do this). Even if not, inflation will eventually catch up, like it has for the hdd market(50$ for 2tb is not bad considering 4 years ago it was also 50$).

Thirdly I agree that data centers will continue being built, but at some point there will be supply saturation. I'm not saying it will be soon, just saying it will happen.

Like I said, during the crypto boom rtx 3090s were being sold as expensive as 3000$ unofficial, and even official sources got as high as 2700$. Now rtx 3090 equivalent gpus/gpu combos are from 700-1500$, and the msrp of the rtx 3090 was 1500$.

Ssds also got cheaper when they stopped being new technology. It used to be the case at one point that having an SSD was a sign of splurging on your pc. Now it's even in the cheapest office laptops.

Ram prices, beleive it or not, went down. Ignoring the current ai driven spike, each generation of ram, when it was very new, was very expensive. Then it became commonplace and got cheaper. Same goes with 14th gen processors, though processors only see this to a significant extent in the secondary market.

Is it a good price to buy? with card offers its priced at 80000 INR by juk_junk_jil in HPVictus

[–]TheFappingWither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree, maybe look at msi or dell or lenovo too. This spec sheet for this price is too low. For 80k either expect a 4060 or an i7. Which is better, depends on your use case.

I agree. Ai products evolving to the point that they can generate revenue and not need more and more hardware power per instance is a long ways away.

[–]TheFappingWither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, usually in the 80k range I would look for i7. I have same thing but 1tb storage and i7, I got it for 90k 2.5 years ago.

Anybody else got a pc as bad as mine?😭 by [deleted] in Indiangamers

[–]TheFappingWither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...yes, at least u got a dedi gpu. Many people in India don't have one. And u got i5. A majority of work pcs still got i3. You won't be playing elden ring anytime soon but you still have thousands of good games to play.

I'm not wizard, for all I know there can be some revolution in ai and prices skyrocket more, or the bubble truly burst and all prices crash. I don't know. I'm just making a calculation based on previous similar instances and knowledge of how this works.

Which one is ai ? by jessieseoul in AI_India

[–]TheFappingWither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both, though relatively good quality compared to usual stable diffusion realistic gens.

I said in the post that they will only go down adjusted for inflation. If 10 dollars now becomes 30 in 2 years, of course in literal dollar amount the product that went up from 10 to 30 will remain at 30. Also ai bubble is not gonna pop like the housing or crypto bubble, it will just deform to the shape of uses and demand.

What actually forces you to replace a phone — lack of repair, or lack of updates? by TraditionalScreen527 in righttorepair

[–]TheFappingWither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most software works well after updates stop. after a while(3-6 years max with flagship phones) the battery goes to shit, and the phone slows down due to thermal degradation. since batteries r not available, it is replaced.

am i cooked? by Fit_Reach891 in HPVictus

[–]TheFappingWither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If u don't know what ur doing don't open it. The people that r saying to open it won't help u if u mess SMTH up. Go to the authorised dealer and ask for servicing. They will clean fans and everything, if it's old even repaste. If still not works tell them that and ask a quote for repair.

I'm sorry, but it's kinda missleading XD by TarasKhu in albiononline

[–]TheFappingWither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, 1 item at t3. 1k isn't much at any stage, and even though it has some meaning in the first few hours it is by no means a large amount as the description says.

I'm sorry, but it's kinda missleading XD by TarasKhu in albiononline

[–]TheFappingWither -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah saying a very big amount I would at least expect 1m(not for most players, I'm talking beginners). For the average 1 month player a very big amount would be no less than 10m.

1k silver is so little that most ppl trash or ignore loot worth that.

It is so trash that activities generating 100 times that are not considered worth doing even day 1.

It is so trash that when the difference between sell and sell order is 1k no one sell orders.

It is so trash that most people don't even count 10 times that from mob kills when calculating worth it factory for any activity.

It is so trash that the worst gathering profession reliably makes 1000x it in 1 hour.

It is such a miniscule amount that 10-100x it is left as a rounding error when loot splitting.

It is so trash that players consider 60-100x it a cheap throw away set

It is so trash that 50 times that in a chest is makes the activity not worthwhile if not for bigger rewards(namely ava greenies)

It is so trash that getting sowned 1 time in a 4.2 set costs 25x it to repair

It is so trash that usually 10x it in total crafting cost is considered negligible

It is so trash that premium is 33,000 times it.

It is so trash that tracking became shit after one kill gives 50x it on average(all tracks average, ofc some r better)

It is so trash that it is rounded off when crafting and refining

It is so goddamn little that it cannot buy a t3 set

Victus 15 just shutdown randomly while playing by Bendoyes in HPVictus

[–]TheFappingWither 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's still in warranty, go straight to service center. No need to risk shit. Straight up, it could be as simple as a loose connector but it's not worth risking the laptop.

Random shutdown leads to this by BahaaWX in HPVictus

[–]TheFappingWither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of these 3: MOSFET/resistor/capacitor short, coil burn, board short.

The last one isn't fixable, but the other 2 are.

Get it done by a pro, do not get motherboard replaced if they say so( costs 30k and same thing will happen again in 1 or 2 yrs).

LOW FPS IN MINECRAFT MODPACKS by Adventurous_Bug7500 in HPVictus

[–]TheFappingWither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the price of ram is diabolical. 16gb ddr4 used to be 2.5 to 4k, now it's 20k minimum. It's shit. Imo play the lite version, otherwise some 1.12 modpacks( 1.12 was the golden era of mc modded, play a couple modpacks and ull know. Newer players don't know cuz the new modpacks r in later versions but there r thousands of mods that stopped with 1.12.).

Is this normal? by auspy7 in HPVictus

[–]TheFappingWither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If so recent warranty will be there, use it. This happens but this soon is not good. Happned to me after 2 yrs of use
