Saying Hello, and 2 years update after my PC Build Journey
(lemmy.tevtra.com)
Two years ago I made a post on Reddit's pcmasterrace (under same username) that somehow made it to /all and trended for a while.
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve found myself slowly distancing from Reddit with all the drama, weird decisions, and the feeling that any post you make can get nuked on a whim by a power-tripping mod (see: r/art).
So I wanted to anchor this moment with big chungus here on the fediverse as I start a new chapter on Lemmy. Looking forward to hanging out with everyone here and having fun again.
By the way big chungus is alive and well, the same can't be said for the 4090 though, i'm getting coil whine from it and had to live with that until 60 series...
Wish I could be as optimistic as you about the 60 series. I hope the AI bubble bursts quickly so that prices can normalise because I won't buy a PC with these prices.
How funny it would be if by that time the insane price would not be because of the GPU itself, but because of the memory..
Isn't the AI bubble also the cause of high memory cost?
Yeah, used to be just the GPU itself, but now RAM too, and GPU has its own RAM component so it's double whammy
Yeah, now 128gb of ram cost like a new GPU...
isnt that literally the current issue?
gpu chip prices coming down but mem chips skyrocketing instead
No, GPU prices are still high and memory is overtaking them, I'd rather have no pc than buy at these prices.
I'll just keep using used notebooks for cheap and not play GPU (or CPU) intensive games until (if ever) the situation improves.
