can someone explain to me how and/or why there's a ram shortage that's im guessing reducing gpu production and/or raising their prices?

 

[Gaston Guerricagoitia]

Shortage of chips used to produce ram, but that has nothing to do with the gpu pricing, blame cryptomining for that

 

[Daemon Hall]

Samsung produces something like 85% of all ram and graphics ram chips and they have had issues with viable yields the last two years.

Hell I'm considering getting from wish.com. 4gb ddr3 for between $14-$22 each... Not sure how good they are but at that price it's worth a shot. Reviews seem good enough... Lol
