i7 9700k lifespan

[pim_88]

I recently bought a new computer with a I7 9700k and a 2070 super.

I bought it rather hastily and probably should have gone with an AMD processor.

 

How long will the computer I bought last me in terms of gaming?

Hello,

 

I can't predict the future but 3 to 8 years at least.

A long time - almost certainly > 5 years at which point you'll want a new one anyway

CPU will probably be relevant for like 5 years. The GPU would probably be the same if you play at 1080p.

It will last you as long as you want it to last you, you can sit on it for a decade and half or maybe decide that it's not enough performance for the next call of duty you want to play.

9700k OCed is still better for gaming than all MAD processors, so Id say it not really a bad buy.

 

It will last you at least 3 years, probably more like 4-5

My 4770 is still a pretty good CPU, and plenty of people are still on 2nd or 3rd gen processors. No need to worry about lifespan

It all depends on what you want out of your gaming experience.  If you are playing older games on a 60hz 1080p monitor your computer is going to last you a very long time.  If you are playing modern AAA titles at 1440p and at higher refresh rates than it will not last you as long.   The 9700K is definitely competitive with Ryzen for gaming.

Thanks for all the replies!

In a vacuum it's a good chip; in it's competitive environment it's lackluster.

 

Should last you for quite some time if you are just gaming, ad if you stream just use NVENC.

When you start getting dissatisfied with its performance.

the 2070 super will get dated before the 9700k, 5 years is a good time for that build.
