Hello everyone, welcome back. It is December and even though it's only been about a month

00:00:03

since the last installation of this series, GPU Price Watch, it feels like it's been a lot longer

00:00:08

than that and that's because memory prices have skyrocketed, giving GPU prices a run for their

00:00:13

money. Therefore, I am expanding this series. It's not just GPU price now, it's memory price watch 2.

00:00:22

Excellent. Today's video is brought to you by the Paul's Hardware store on paulshardware.net,

00:00:27

net, the only official source for Paul's hardware merchandise, tantalizing t-shirts,

00:00:32

brilliant beer sets, highquality hoodies, and more. All featuring the classic thumb screw for

00:00:37

tasteful and refined viewers, or the 8-bit thumb screw for tasteful and refined viewers who hate

00:00:42

curves. New designs are added sporadically and at random. So, head over to paulshardware.net and get

00:00:47

some of that sweet, sweet merch right now, or not right now, after you watch the video. Either way,

00:00:52

to be perfectly honest, I really wish I didn't have to do this series. I wish PC hardware

00:00:56

pricing was just normal and I could go about my business and say, "Hey, you want to build a $1,000

00:01:00

computer? Here are some good parts to choose, but that's just not how it works. In order to make

00:01:04

sure you're not getting ripped off, you need some contextual information to be able to say, what

00:01:08

was the lowest price that these parts actually sold for and what are they selling for now?" So,

00:01:12

here's a quick look at the December updates. And the main columns you're looking at here are going

00:01:16

to be the average price for December, the low price for December. Then these columns over here

00:01:20

show you the differences uh compared to previous months. While I'm at it, here's a quick look at

00:01:24

the memory chart for this month. I'm going to be going over the memory a little bit later on. So,

00:01:28

uh, use the timestamps in the description to jump to that because I'm going to be starting

00:01:31

with GPUs. Actually, I'm going to be starting by showing you guys how I'm gathering this

00:01:35

information. I'm using PVC part picker for any given GPU. I'm looking at the lowest 10 prices,

00:01:40

averaging those, also highlighting the lowest price, and I'm also double-checking the prices

00:01:44

to make sure that it's being sold directly by a retailer or at least by a reputable marketplace

00:01:50

vendor from a site like Amazon or Newegg. So looking at the December chart, I wanted

00:01:54

to highlight some overall trends. I do think that we have hit a bounce when it comes to GPU prices.

00:01:59

If you look at the low price change for last month in November, there was still a lot of prices going

00:02:03

down. Now we have prices bouncing a little bit and going back up. I've also used the classic bold

00:02:08

function to highlight where the lowest price is, at least for the current generation of GPUs, both

00:02:13

on the Nvidia and AMD side. For some, that goes all the way back to like July for the 9060 XT. And

00:02:19

while a lot of the lowest prices for Nvidia cards I think have maybe passed us by, although we'll

00:02:23

see what happens in January, at least for now, we do have the lowest price options for the RX970 and

00:02:30

9770 XT16 gig, which were obstinately refusing to come down in price for much of the year. But now,

00:02:36

Glory B, at least for the moment, we have good prices there. But since this is December,

00:02:41

I thought we'd take a look back at the history of GPU price watch for this year going all the way

00:02:45

back to March when the chart was a lot simpler, but also a lot more depressing. As you can see,

00:02:50

there's pretty much red everywhere because everything was selling for much over MSRP. But

00:02:54

the good news for GPU price watch throughout this year was this column. The low price changes often

00:03:00

had a lot more green in it than red. And although this wasn't bringing us down to MSRP in April,

00:03:05

for May, at least this price difference versus MSRP was starting to improve. Although I guess we

00:03:10

did have the 568 gig available at MSRP, and that's pretty consistently stayed that way because it's a

00:03:16

crappy card. But it was actually a pretty nice and optimistic summer. You can see starting in June,

00:03:22

we had MSRP pricing for cards going up to the RTX 5070. Although the 9070 and 970 XT were

00:03:29

still pretty obstinently overpriced, but we also had some competition with the 9060 XT and 960 XT16

00:03:35

gig. And as things warmed up in July, we had lots of prices getting lower again. Uh we added the

00:03:40

Intel ARC cards a couple months back. So those are also coming down with the first card significantly

00:03:45

below MSRP being the 960 XT uh which was down to 250 for this month and the 5060 Ti 8 gig being one

00:03:52

of the first RTX50 series cards to drop below MSRP 2. And then came August where we had like MSRP or

00:03:59

better for every single RTX 50 series GPU. Sure, the 9070s were still being done, but you at least

00:04:05

had 960s uh down there, keeping things a little bit competitive in the lower price range along

00:04:10

with Intel's ARC cards being just just slightly over MSRP. Then in September, we once again had

00:04:15

price drops for several RTX 50 series cards with at least three of them becoming below MSRP. We

00:04:21

even had some improvement on the Intel ARC side. It was just AMD who was still struggling to get

00:04:25

their act together with the Radeon 9000 series cards. And then in October, just look how much

00:04:30

green there was. Perhaps this was a distraction because October was also when RAM prices started

00:04:36

to go up, but we were all like, "Oh, look, GPU prices are pretty good." There were MSRP RTX

00:04:41

5090s. We finally had the 9070 nonXT coming down to its MSRP. 9070 XT was still $30 over,

00:04:49

but relatively looked better. and things were good and happy for a brief period of time. Just you had

00:04:54

this little window. And on the GPU side at least, things continued to look pretty good in November.

00:04:58

Uh granted, there's usually a lot of sales around the November time frame because of Black Friday,

00:05:03

but once again, apart from the 5090, we had good sales, good pricing on pretty much all of

00:05:08

the Nvidia cards. We had MSRP or better for every single RX9000 series card. Even Intel's ARC B570,

00:05:15

B580 coming down to less than their MSRPs. But of course, November was when all the memory prices

00:05:21

started to go up and up and up. So once again, that brings us to December where we can see this

00:05:26

unfortunate spate of red across many of the Nvidia RTX 50 series cards which are which are the more

00:05:32

desirable cards. It looks like our low prices for November were kind of the high water point or low

00:05:37

water point depending on how you're looking at it. That is apart from the 5058 gig and 5068 gig,

00:05:42

which I don't really highly recommend unless you're on a serious budget and you know you're

00:05:45

going to be gaming on like a 1080 panel for the next few years. I highly recommend trying to get

00:05:50

yourself up to a 12 gig or 16 gig card if you can manage that. So despite the 960 XT16 gig being up

00:05:57

20 bucks from its low of 350, it is still, I think, the better bet if you're considering

00:06:02

an RTX 5060 8 gig. I think it's worth the extra money. or of course you got the 5060 Ti 16 gig

00:06:08

if you want an Nvidia card with a higher VRAM buffer and you're not paying 5070 or better

00:06:12

money. Nevertheless, these are the highlights uh for this month. We have a $200 RTX 5058 gig

00:06:19

which is the lowest price that I have ever seen it at. It does include a $20 mail and rebate,

00:06:23

so that may or may not be worth it for you. Then the 5068 gig currently selling for $279. Uh that's

00:06:29

over at Walmart. I think Best Buy might have had that price as well. In terms of best bang

00:06:33

for the buck mid-range graphics card, the RTX 570 at 520 is still recommended even though it's about

00:06:38

$40 up from its low of 580. But if you're not married to an Nvidia solution, the Radeon RX970

00:06:45

uh nonXT is a 16 gig card at $530. Between the two of these, I would go for the RX970 nonXT.

00:06:53

I guess one last Nvidia thing to point out is the cheapest RTX5090. I was recommending people

00:06:58

to try to wait for these to sell at their MSRP at $2,000, but we haven't seen that for two or three

00:07:03

months unless you're really good at jumping on a listing that goes up for sale, but those have been

00:07:08

selling up fairly quickly. Unfortunately, it's sad that these cards are moving so quickly at

00:07:12

their prices. But this one at least is add to cart ready at Best Buy uh for those of you who have

00:07:16

deep pockets. Last highlight would be the 9070 XT at $600. Again, it's MSRP. It's not exciting,

00:07:23

but it is at least a compelling alternative to a 5070 Ti, which is going for $750, which again

00:07:28

is up from its low last month of $730. All right, switching over to memory price watch, the slightly

00:07:34

more depressing part of this series. I have just listed three different RAM configurations

00:07:38

over here, pretty common ones. The 32 gig DDR5 configuration, a 64 gig DDR5 configuration. For

00:07:45

DDR4, I'm just looking at 32 gigs as well. I could potentially expand this in the future. So, if you

00:07:50

guys have any feedback for me on that, specific RAM configurations or types, please leave that in

00:07:55

the comments section down below. My sublisting for each of these is basically what I would consider

00:07:59

to be a good kit of RAM versus a bad kit of RAM, or I guess a kit of RAM that would be functional,

00:08:05

but not necessarily getting the most out of your system. So, for DDR5, that's DDR5 6000 or better

00:08:11

with cast latency that's less than or equal to 32. a bad RAM kit or just uh trying to get yourself a

00:08:16

functional kit for as little money as possible would be slower than DDR56000 with cast latency

00:08:22

more than 32. Then pretty much that same thing applied to the 64 gig configuration. Uh whereas

00:08:27

for DDR4 we have DDR4 3000 or better with CL less than or equal to 16. And then the slower DDR4 is

00:08:33

going to be slower than DDR4 3000. And since these kits do not have MSRPs, I was just looking at the

00:08:40

late September or early October pricing where it was kind of at its lowest before things started

00:08:44

to creep up. I did list the specific kits where I was getting these prices from, like the Team Group

00:08:49

Treate Classic that I've recommended many times, although this is the bad kit cuz it's DDR5 5600

00:08:55

CL46. Meanwhile, for 64 gigs, we have a GSkill Flare X5 kit, a Crucial Pro, and then for DDR4,

00:09:01

a Corsair Vengeance LPX kit as well as a G-Skill Aegis. Beyond that, it's pretty straightforward.

00:09:06

We have the before times pricing right here. And then we have both the low price and the average

00:09:10

price for December using pretty much the same uh data gathering method that I showed you guys

00:09:15

before with PC part picker. And here we can see the stark changes just in the past month and a

00:09:20

half to two months. DDR5 632 gig kit going from 90 bucks up to about 300 at the cheapest. These

00:09:27

two columns are the same cuz I'm just comparing the before pricing to the after pricing. But

00:09:31

those will change as I continue this series uh in January 2026. Specifically, the best price I was

00:09:36

able to find today on a DDR5 6000speed kit with a decent cast latency and everything CL30 is this

00:09:43

Clev kit. And you actually are buying directly from Clev. At least they have 85% positive

00:09:49

feedback directly on the Clev store. It's also not going to arrive until late December or January,

00:09:54

but at least it's a $300 32 gig DDR5 kit. your situation is maybe a little bit worse if you need

00:10:01

more capacity. Uh, this is the best viable 64 gig kit DDR5 6000 that I was able to find. It's

00:10:08

678. Wait, no, there's a promo code. A great sale brings it down to $628. It's $50 off. But look,

00:10:16

RGB. That's That's totally worth these price increases, right? If you really need a 32

00:10:21

gig kit and you don't care about speeder timings, this is the cheapest possible one that I was able

00:10:25

to find on PC Part Picker. It's a crucial kit, so that means it's also going to be in antique soon,

00:10:30

right? Because they're going out of business. Maybe the prices on these will go up even more.

00:10:33

But yeah, DDR5 5600 and cast latency 46. Is this memory even going to function? It seems

00:10:40

pretty dismal. Likewise, we have a crucial kit for our best 64 gig option at $58. Uh,

00:10:46

at least it's in stock over at B&H. But yeah, just pretty depressing across the board.

00:10:50

And we can see that 32 gig kits are pretty much three times the price that they used to be, over

00:10:56

300%. 64 gig kits roughly the same, maybe slightly less increased. Uh they're at about 300% of the

00:11:03

price they used to be. And I guess the only silver lining for anyone who's looking for a DDR4 kit is

00:11:08

those prices haven't spiked quite as much. They've only gone up just a little bit more than double,

00:11:13

jumping from $70 to $80 to about 150 to 170. But there it is, my final installment for GPU

00:11:19

PriceWatch 2025. Now adding RAM Price Watch 2. Not that I really wanted to do that, but I feel

00:11:25

compelled to. I'm going to be continuing this in January if you guys are interested. We'll

00:11:29

see. Are prices going to keep going up? I think maybe they will based on what we've been hearing,

00:11:33

but I will at least be verifying this with real world numbers, sharing that information with you

00:11:37

guys. So, if you're not subscribed, consider doing that. You could also hit the thumbs up

00:11:41

button on this video if you enjoyed it. And if you'd like to help support my channel,

00:11:43

you can check out my store at paulsharboard.net net where we have an end of the year sale going

00:11:47

on. At least my prices have come down a little bit to end the year. But that's all the time I

00:11:52

have for this one. Thank you guys so much for watching. We'll see you all in the next video.
