Recently, a player posted a deal: he used a Corsair 192GB DDR5 memory set in exchange for a PNY RTX 5070 Ti graphics card. It is said that he chose the graphics card between the graphics card and a 27-inch 240Hz QD-OLED monitor. The deal was shocking at first glance, but most of the replies in the comment area agreed: This deal was a big loss!
The reason for this judgment is the recent explosive increase in the price of DDR5 memory. This large-capacity memory set is almost impossible to buy at the original price.
The screenshots shared show that the 192GB DDR5 memory set used for exchange is currently priced at around US$2,250 (approximately 15,904 yuan).
For comparison, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card currently sells for approximately US$750 (approximately RMB 5,301) in the United States.
Judging from the current value, this player traded in memory worth about three times the value of the graphics card, so the vast majority of commentators pointed out that this exchange was extremely disadvantageous to the memory owner, and some even thought that he could have changed to an RTX 4090 or even an RTX 5090.
Referring to domestic market prices, this set of 192GB memory modules is currently priced at 9,999 yuan, while the RTX 5070 Ti 16GB graphics card is priced at around 6,500 yuan.
Do you think you made a profit or a loss?
