    Well, like some, I am still on the 10xx series (1060 3gb 🤣🥲) and starting to look to the futur full system upgrade for a Rx79xx or 78xx when out. Targeting Black Friday sale jump

    I would be curious to know if many others are on a refresh cycle up to 4-5years

    (Need to check how to create a poll in Lemmy)

      I have recently ordered a 7900xtx to replace my 1080ti. It was a good companion but just doesn’t cut it anymore. Originally wanted to upgrade with the last gen but scalpers made that impossible. And the used market is still fucked in my region.

      I guess I’m on the 7-10 year cycle. I just upgraded from a GTX 1050 (non-Ti) and .an i5-4570. Played almost everything I wanted to play just fine at 1080p and some at 1440p. I tend to be a patient gamer and play mostly indies, so it was great.

      This article feels like it was written in a language I don’t understand. I understand that other people are more into the hobby than I am (which is fine, no judgement, good for them), but its just so far outside what I would consider normal for me that it took me off guard.
