It really is. Most of us don’t need to benchmark the latest games, but that’s the joke.

I know this is a meme but how often are people buying RAM that they find this relatable? I upgraded my PC to 32gb over a year ago, I sn’t that plenty for now?

We’re kinda at an in between point for DDR4 and DDR5, and the windows hardware requirements, that its about time for a new PC for a lot of people.

It’s not that many people are upgrading all the time, but if you coincidentally need an upgrade right now you’re gonna talk about how it sucks. Leads to bias in what people talk about, I guess.
I sure know I’m talking about it a lot, since I was planning to build my first ever Desktop PC a few months ago and now I have all the parts except for the RAM and it sucks to be waiting for the prices to drop :(

I have 32 too but its DDR4 so if I buy a new CPU I also need new RAM unfortunatly

32 will be fine for a long, long time unless something with the RAM situation changes. Especially with manufacturers moving their “mid-tier” machines back to 8 GB, optimization will become mandatory to sell games.

What’s costlier than increasing RAM?
Getting a GPU with higher RAM.I’d say, we need to optimise for VRAM usage much more.

When I got my 64GB kit 3.2GHz, I was considering saving up for a 128GB 3.6GHz one.
I should have just bought the 128, then and there.CallMeAnAI@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Especially since full time daycare typically is 200-$600/wk depending on the usual factors.
Every parent I know jokes they will turn it into a car payment 🤣

People who haven’t upgraded in 5 years and need a newer PC also need to buy RAM.
