So the 260 can still run games like gta 5 on low, how much longer will it hold up with new games? And I'm not saying at 60 FPS I'm saying at a playable FPS so even like 20 FPS Becase that's playable, but mostly how much longer can it run games at 30 FPS on low.

Buy a r9 370. That will hold up for a time.

Don't start a post without pc specs.

If you think you can wait till next year for a next gen GPU, wait. If not buy a new GPU this year.
