Expensive DDR5 RAM is driving PC gamers to make this major mistake, and you need to avoid it

DDR5 RAM prices have surged, with 32GB kits increasing from under 0 to over 0 in a few weeks. This trend is expected to affect pricing in other tech sectors, including graphics cards and laptops. Industry experts advise consumers to wait for a price correction rather than panic buy, with expectations that the market will stabilize in six to eight months, although prices may not return to previous lows. The rise in prices is partly due to AI data centers consuming a large portion of the DRAM supply, leading to uncertainty. DDR4 prices have also increased, making it less advisable to switch to older systems. Current hardware can still handle most modern games, and consumers are encouraged to consider affordable upgrades in peripherals instead of rushing into RAM purchases.

User reports claim December Windows 11 security update fixes AMD GPU hanging and driver crashing

Windows 11 has caused concerns among graphics card users, particularly Nvidia GPU owners, leading Nvidia to release a hotfix driver to address gaming performance issues from the October update. The December KB5070311 update reportedly resolved significant problems for AMD GPU owners, including driver crashes in games like Battlefield 6 and general instability. User feedback suggests improvements after installing the December update, which also eliminated the "unsupported graphics card detected" message for compatible GPUs. AMD's patch notes for the latest Adrenalin version mention various crashing issues, but only a few were addressed without attributing them to Windows. Reports of GPU hanging and driver instability have been common since the RX 9070 XT's launch in March 2025, with the RX 9000 series facing the most difficulties. Nvidia previously rolled out a hotfix driver to restore performance lost due to an October Windows update. The December Windows 11 security update is mandatory, and users may find it beneficial to install it, although there is no guarantee that specific issues will be resolved. Neither Microsoft nor AMD has officially confirmed any AMD-specific GPU fixes related to Windows updates.

AMD’s Redstone update could revitalize FSR for PC games – here’s why Nvidia should be worried

AMD has launched FSR Redstone, accessible through the AMD Adrenalin 25.12.1 driver, featuring FSR Frame Generation, Ray Regeneration, and Radiance Caching, along with enhanced FSR Upscaling technology, compatible exclusively with RDNA 4 hardware (Radeon RX 9060 XT and RX 9070 XT/RX 9070 GPUs). Ray Regeneration will debut in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, with plans for future titles. The update aims to improve image quality and performance, closing the gap with Nvidia's DLSS 4 technology. However, it lacks backward compatibility with older GPUs, limiting its use to RDNA 4 hardware. FSR Radiance Caching is expected to enhance ray tracing performance in 2026, and the FSR Redstone SDK will facilitate easier integration into games.
