Hello PC enthusiasts,
I have a question that I think many more have. It's about component compatibility now for future software. I am about to acquire a new PC2021 this year with these components:
Windows 10 (2014 release, support until 2025)
CPU / Processor: Amd Ryzen 9 5900X (2020 release)
Motherboard: Asus ROG B550-F Gaming (launch, B550 series, I think 2020)
Video Card: ASUS GeForce® GTX 1050Ti 4GB PHOENIX Fan Edition DVI-D HDMI DP 1.4 Gaming Graphics Card (2016 Release)
RAM: DDR4 16GB (2014-2016 release)
Hard disk: SSD M.2.
Reviewing the info tells me that the components of PC 2021 are compatible with Windows 11 (release 2021, support until 2030¿?)
This is my current PC:
Windows 7 (2009 release, support until 2020)
CPU / Processor: Intel Xeon E3 1220 v3 @ 3.10GHz (2013 release)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. H81M-HD2 (SOCKET 0) (release, I believe 2015)
Video Card: 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (NVIDIA) (2014 Release) RAM: DDR3 12GB (2007-2011 release)
This current PC supports programs and games like: AutoCAD, 3dMAX, Revit (version 2018, no longer 2021) Sims 4 (2014 release) Tropico 6 (2019 release) Genshin impact (2019-20 release)
But not games like: "the last of us 2 or Horizown zero down or GTA V"
In summary, this current PC supports Autodesk programs of 2018 and games of 2019 maximum of medium quality.
1.-I would like to know if what I am buying now in 2021 will be compatible at least until 2030 with Autodesk software? According to me, yes, since what matters most is the operating system, which by then Autodesk will require Windows 11, since W10 will no longer have support.
2.-The same with games, for games that require high quality (example the last of us 2, but applicable for the future) until what year will this new 2021 PC be compatible?
Since according to the next year 2022 the DDR5 and a new generation of AMD processor will come out, the Zen 4 with Ryzen 6000. Only that they will be more expensive, it seems to me. But as usually happens, I think that after a minimum of 3 years, that is, in 2025 they were already tested by the community and some errors that they might have fixed, if necessary, but surely in 2030 or earlier another new generation of processor and a new RAM will come out. DDR6, to say the least.
3.-What do you think, using this PC2021 and renew until 2030?
