So I suppose not even DDR4 prices will normalize in the next 3 years, thank you Intel.
Great, lets go back a technology because of fucking AI that no one has asked for
DDR5 is kind of annoying for other reasons than just cost. Like not being able to mix kits at all and having to deal with preboot voltage training and shit. I’ve basically gotten used to it myself, but it still trips a lot of people. I was hoping they’d smooth shit over with DDR6, but I guess they’re just going backwards instead for cost reasons.
I would have expected someone to adapt the fancy new HBM memory to traditional PC architectures instead.
For gaming this is completely viable. I am running a 5070, an 5950x and 64 Gigs of DDR4 and play on 1440p, and haven’t yet had any title which i couldn’t run maxed out or close to it in graphics quality. Without Framegen, i am pretty much always at least above 60 FPS in the most demanding titles on the market, which framegen can then push to a comfortable 90+ if wanted. Anything a bit older or simply not so demanding i normally have to limit the frame rate so i do not waste a bunch of power.
So anyways anyone know any good ebay sellers for pc parts?
