Just about! RAM, Mobo, PSU, and one of my SSDs are all from the original build. I forgot what specific GPU I started with, but only a few months after finishing the build I picked up the RTX 2060. Only other changes besides new SSDs is going from the Ryzen 1600X to a Ryzen 5700X.Is the rest of your PC also 5y old? Might be no harm to make a thread with your PC specs so our experts can advise re any other potential issues, eg power supply.
which one for 2-3 years? the new one or the one you have now? It should easily last 3 years... most of mine last that long,But if I’m thinking of longevity, keeping this card for at least 2-3 years, that extra performance may be worth the money. Surely when the big end of the year sales come around, I could easily nab a 7700 XT for around $350.
The new card. I’ve had my RTX 2060 for 5 years now, got it at the beginning of 2019. Currently the only major upgrade I’m thinking of doing is getting a new GPU that can last me at least 2-3 years until I can do a full system upgrade. I’m still on AM4 now, would like to upgrade to AM5 in the future and take advantage of all the new tech, but I think stuff like that is still quite expensive, especially AM5 mobos and DDR5 RAM. Not many good budget options in that space just yet.which one for 2-3 years? the new one or the one you have now? It should easily last 3 years... most of mine last that long,
VRAM is increasingly a big concern to me. I’ve been running into issues on some newer games where the raw performance of my GPU seems to be able to handle a game but it runs out of VRAM, causing me to lower settings. I’ve noticed this most recently in Kunitsu-Gami, my VRAM was exceeding its limit and the game was crashing. Once I set textures to Low, it ran fine but looked like garbage. Have had similar issues in a few other games too.ram difference is slightly more important these days, 6gb to 12gb. One won't run out of resources as fast.
7700XT uses more power but its price/performance rating is still higher than the 2060
I’ll also have to make sure my PSU will support a new card. No idea how to test it, gonna have to research that. I have a 600W Gold PSU, but don’t know how much of it im using currently.
From what i can tell, this is mostly people finding Apple headphones online for really nice prices just to find they bought fakesHeadphones
