Best advice is grab an AM4 motherboard and go for DD4 ram. You wont notice a difference in performance for majority of games.

As soon as I saw the prices of ram shoot up a couple weeks ago I started looking into am4 chips and so did everyone else I guess lol. Now I don’t even see the 5800/5700x3d for sale at all in my local used market.
Auth@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Yeah but who needs a 5800X3D? a 5500 or 5600x will be fine for most. If you can afford to get a 5800x3d dont worry about the price and just buy it money clearly aint an issue.

Lol what?? 5800X3D was like $250 when I bought mine. I wouldn’t say it was cheap but its defintely not a “money is no issue” kind of number.
Auth@lemmy.world 2 days ago
$250 is a steal but i’ve not seen it below $500 which is a lot to spend on a cpu.

No. Ddr4 ram prices have been tripling this year.
I needed ddr4 ecc, but couldnt justify paying 3x the price that I paid last year.
Also wanted to buy ddr4 sodimm for my wife’s laptop, you guessed it, 3x the price.

DDR4 RAM is presently cheaper than DDR5, but it has also increased dramatically in price recently.

So happy I bought a m.2 for my laptop right before this insanity. Wonder if spinning plates are coming back to the menu?
