RAM prices are ridiculous

I'd hardly say this means anything. 30 October saw companies losing up to 29% (Intel), before that we saw drops in the mid 10% range in June, etc. It's a very volatile market. When we see large drops day after day, you'll have my full attention (and excitement).

Also, keep in mind those are intraday figures, not closing prices.

I'm aware. This is not enough to make a dent.

But a few dents adds up.

Nvidia lost all its 2026 gains today.

Biggest AI drop in 19 months.

Now lets just hope Trump does something stupid or the Dems start issuing subpoenas for it to drop again.

Its about time for this whole circle-jerk to be cracked wide open.

EDIT: 2.5T now.

EDIT: Make that 3T.

The entire market is down. Financial services lost nearly a quarter trillion, industrial lost nearly a quarter trillion, healthcare lost nearly a fifth of a trillion, etc. AI concerns were an underlying vulnerability, but politics were the catalyst. I'm sure automated selling also contributed a massive chunk.

Well aware politics is the catalyst. That's why I made my first post when Americans were still thinking about what to eat for breakfast and came back for the lols after their market closed.

We'll see today if it gains a bit of momentum or blows over.

South Korea had to halt trades 30 minutes after their market opened today.

I don't give a toss about pricing I'm here for fraudsters to burn.

GPUs are now becoming unaffordable. The average price of a 5080 on NewEgg is close to R 60k. The cheapest 5090 on Amazon is R 196k. Local pricing on 5090s has reached R 250k. I’m embracing the joke. Hideously, the “sale” price of 250k is actually a hair below where the actual price should be.

Damn that 5090 laptop for 80k on wootware does not like like a bad deal anymore. No where close to real 5090 but atleast its full working laptop.

The 5090 was always way to high, mid range are still high but 20k and under seems reasonable compared to 250k

R 20k used to get you a 5070 Ti with some change (now R 25k-30k), or an RX 9070 XT with a lot of change,even if you went for a high end SKU like the Gigabyte Aorus Elite or ASRock Steel Legend.

These aren't typical, but the current extremes and an unfortunate indicator of where prices are going:

A few months ago, the 5060 Ti 16GB maxed out at around R 12k:

At the same time, you couldn't really find a 9060 XT 16GB for more than R 11k:
