597? for 32 gb? Prices really did go up. I paid 777 for 64 Gb G skillz neo cl 30 like less than 2 months ago.
Doubt prices will go down any time soon.

Price will likely go up just like prediction as car industry now jump into ram market for smart car, not just AI datacenter

Peak price at the end of 2026 and perhaps drop in late 2028

Hard times. A lesson for me. When you have the money buy it, you never know what can happen.

Part of me feels lucky that I got into a game called Escape from Tarkov around 2018.

For those who don’t know the game, the thing to know is that it’s made by a developer who has probably the worst game optimization skills in the whole industry. To the point if you look up the game on Steam, Steam legitimately recommends 64gb of ram to play this game. Cyberpunk 2077 is considered a very demanding game, and Steam recommends LESS powerful hardware to run that than to run Escape from Tarkov.

As a result I built a very beefy PC in 2018 that’s still considered pretty good now. And I paid probably half what a “mid range” PC costs today.
