No, equities naturally trend up with economic growth. RAM is up because of a supply shock, as new capacity comes on prices will drop, it’s a commodity.

Yes, in the very long term, but in the medium term where the listed capacities even matter we are not close to that. Really, the cost per gb of vram on flagships hasnt went down since 1080ti and thats not accouting for the recent increases which will likely last for years.
There are some minor exceptions but agreed otherwise. Manufacturers have been excessively using VRAM limitations as a price point distinguisher.
But it could get worse for two years yet.
If it flys, floats or FLOPs it is better to rent.
