How long will ryzen 5 1600 and gtx 1080ti last me (Estimate)

How long will gtx 1080ti and ryzen 5 1600 amd stock wraith spire cooler

I dont plan to overclock 

1080p monitor

I would like medium to high settings on all the new games for the next 4-5 years

Tell me your Estimates

[Damascus]

Ppi give you 5 years.

[Princess Luna]

Medium at 1080p? yeah 5 years for sure.

[WereCat]

1 hour. Then you will accidentally drop it and step on it.

[TVwazhere]

Five years, possibly more. The 1080ti is a way overkill right now for anything 1080p, and in five years you'll still be above 60fps if history holds true

Can i upgrade the cpu when the new cpus come i have heard that amd will continue using am4 sockets for the next 4 years is this true?

You can probably expect at least one generation of CPU will use the same socket, past that it's really up to AMD.

well if it wasn't that would make AMD a lot of liars...

So atleast one more?

At least. Though I dont think that the next gen of CPU will be worth upgrading to, unless AMD somehow refines their architecture to have significantly better single threaded performance in line with intel.... So most likely it wont be "worth" upgrading to the next gen, but maybe two generations from now.

What about the ram would this do?

Yes Zen2 processors, but if you get a second hand Ryzen 7 1800x in the future that would already give you more breathing room as well, right now AMD has the best upgrade path for sure, Intel already is making chipsets and motherboards that last only 1 generation.

The DDR4 ram will still be good for the next 4 years for sure. There's no rumors of any platform going to DDR5 yet

So if amd lies and im not going to be able to upgrade my ryzen 5 1600 would it handle the next 5years? Again estimate

But i have heard that ryzen needs fast ram would that ripjaws ram do it?

And is it compatiple with my asus rog strix b350F mobo with that ryzen 5 1600

You are over worrying here, there's people who plays on Core2Duos even by today, you'll be fine and likely have more than enough money to update the motherboard as well should there be the need here in 5ish years regardless.

 

Don't lose your sleep over this, PC hardware lasts much longer than it seems should you not have that need for bleeding edge performance.

It should handle the next five years. Especially if things like games and programs start becoming more multi threaded reliant instead of single core, which we are slowly seeing a trend towards

Yes, that is 3000mhz ram, so it's fast enough. Initially with RAM there was a comparability "issue"so not all 3000mhz ram worked with Ryzen at the rated speed. I think most of it was fixed by now, you should be able to at least get in the 2800mhz range with this, if not the full 3000mhz.

Take it from the girl who has two Titan X's. She knows probably better than anyone

it depends on the motherboard QVL. You shop for a motherboard first, then you buy the specific RAM based on THEIR QVL for THAT SPECIFIC board.

 

just running out and buying whatever is asking for problems.

Tell u something i kinda gamed on my 7870 for almost 6 years on 1080p60 n still works well altho in comparison to a lot of cards now this one pales horribly even to a 1050ti which is giving better performance at exactly same msrp but with better efficiencies (power draw) due to progression in tech

 

 

But that being said im making drastic changes from 1080p60 to relatively smooth 1440p165hz on a 1080 ti , a huge jump over the 7870. Given the gsync monitor i bought didnt come cheap (950aud asus ips one) im expecting it to hold up for at least 7-8 years at the norm on high/ultra settings... eventually it all comes down to your monitor preference and how long you can hold it for . If you dont have the upgrade urge (unlike mobile phones) it should last damn long and for me 27" screen is plenty huge for a desk space already.

 

so for you i think you can last very long on the card  at least 7 years to be honest if you took my scenario as a stepping stone. Maybe even longer since you intend to do it on the 1080ti at 1080p! Id say solid 8-10 years on your basis... until you change your resolution/frames that is (monitor)

[xsimplyjosh]

That being said if you think my assumptions are volatile then use the base 5 year mark bare minimum for pc hardware as the norm always for any purchase you make, imo good investment you wont regret it...

 

these are things u use till death or close and not upgrade year after year (marginal benefits & diminishing returns are not vast to notice a huge jump usually)
