Should I Upgrade Soon?

JacksonianMan · August 25, 2020

Hello, right now I am running a R5 3600 paired with a GTX 1070 at 1080p 144hz. Am I going to have to upgrade my GPU soon? I want to play triple A titles with ease at 1080p. Right now my GTX 1070 seems to be handling 1080p gaming just fine. But in how many years do you think I will start having issues with the best titles out there? I'm asking as I do not want to spend any money on the system for the next 3 years. Thanks for reading!

The gtx 1070 is going to be good for at the very least another 3 years or so before AAA games become unplayable, perhaps even longer. So you don't need an upgrade anytime soon unless you need the extra power for high frame rates or high resolutions.

The r5 3600, I don't really know, though I do expect it to last longer than the GPU.

In more graphically intense games, i'd like to hit 60+fps. However in more competitive fast paced titles that usually don't look as great, 100+fps is where I would like to sit.
