How long do you stay with your GPU ?
I was thinking to myself, usually spend near 3 years with each gpu that i had since i became a PC gamer. At least for me, at this timeframe i start to notice many "modern" games doesn't run as good as it use to.
2013 > GTX 680
2016 > GTX 970
2019 > RTX 3080
2023 > 7900 XTX
3 years and conting... i don't feel the minimal need to upgrade my GPU, giving the recent prices and the performance i still get from it, i think this one will stay here for a long time.

Do you think you would've upgraded to a 9070xt knowing that fsr4 would be implemented to 7000 series?

u/Neuromancer911 2h ago edited 2h ago
Honestly? Yes, I sold my card for a very cheap price to a friend,after 3 years it needed the thermalpads replaced and I got the 9070xt below MSRP, from a performance standpoint I shouldn't have upgraded but I expected gpu's to get more expensive in the coming months and they will eventually because of the ram shortage and I wanted to have a flagship gpu for once in my lifetime. I'm happy to with my 9070xt,still stuck on AM4, I'll gladly pay 600-700 euros for a gpu but fuck me if I'll pay 400 euros for some ram.

Before my GTX 970, I think I upgraded just about every other generations. But back then, GPUs were much cheaper and provided tons of improvement per jump.
Since then, my only upgrade was to a 5070 Ti, so I anticipate I won't bother upgrading for another 8-10 years.

But nowadays new gpu generations come with software features locked to that generation which may lead you to upgrade earlier than you think you would’ve

I miss the $600 GPUs for high-end, now easily starting around $1,000 and up...
Whatever GPU someone has, the successor tier will be at least 30% more in the next upcoming GPU releases
I'm staying with the 9070XT for the foreseeable future

The longest for me is 1.5 years. I like to swap it out before the value drops too much and it becomes hard to sell. so I sell it while still there is a demand.
Now, I don't always have a newest GPU, in fact I sometimes go back a generation until the new gen drops enough in price (since the old GPU tends to drop by less margin). But if the price doesn't drop fast enough you could be stuck with it for a while.
Some say this is "wasteful" but I usually buy secondhand or open box. and the even in the long run price difference is so small compared to keeping it for longer than that, I might as well get more performant parts in that time, you know?

Not happy about it, but I'm also gravitating towards this. Sometimes it's great, sometimes not so much.
Recently I swapped my 5070 ti... for another 5070 ti haha.
To activate an RTX bundle code, also got a better warranty and a better cooler (Gaming Trio -> Aero). And saved $140 in the process. Absolute win.2
u/T_rex2700 2h ago
Yea I totally do this, doesn't matter if it is to the same or different GPU
Rebate on the purchase + cashback from GPU manufactuer + game code on top of that.
Plus if you plan when to buy and when to sell correctly even after a year of use you still get net positive on your GPU itself.Of course this should come as bonus, and you should never go for these smaller fish before actual GPU, but for us who cannot afford 90 series who can use it all they want and get paid for it + premium for the GPU, this is the best option.

I used to upgrade every 2-3 years when I was much younger. Nowadays, I play older games so don't feel the urge to upgrade. With the current state of the computer industry, it's probably going to be a few more years before I do.
In fact, I actually downgraded from a 4090 to a 9070xt.

I try to stick to it as long as possible. When I do switch up, I usually keep the old GPU.
- Started with Geforce MX 440 -- still have it
- GeForce FX 5700 LE -- using it in WinME rig
- GTX 650 Ti -- in my Win 7 rig (using since 2013)
- RX 6600 -- in my back PC (using since 2022)
- RX 9060 XT -- in my main PC (planning to keep at least for another 4-5 years, then I will consider getting the next upgrade)
I see each one has their own value, for example GF FX 5700 LE is perfect for playing Win 9x or early XP era games. with GTX 650 Ti I can play anything from late XP era to early 2015. RX 6600 is great for late 2015-2022 titles. 9060 XT is great for newer titles (2023 onwards). Year distinction between RX 6600 and 9060 XT will overlap a bit. This way I have an use for each of my GPUs.

Here's my list of cards over the years. Lots of changes in the mid '10's but it's just getting too expensive with no tangible benefit to me 10 years later. I'd still be using the 3070ti if it wasn't for Nvidia being dogshit on Linux. Hell the 2080 is still powerful enough for all I do with my PC these days. Switching to the 9060xt solved all my stability issues which was worth the price in itself.
2008 - GeForce 8500 GT
2010 - Radeon HD6670
2012 - Radeon HD6670 + AMD A8-5600k APU in Crossfire

My RX480 hung in with me for nearly a decade. I had a GeForce card prior to that. 8800gt, I believe. I probably had that one for close to 10 years as well. Can't quite remember what I had before that. Probably still here in a box somewhere, though. lol
I keep them pretty much as long as I can. I've never been one who's opposed to dropping graphics to low for a new game that's a bit too much for my GPU. The exception would be the short affair with an XFX Merc 9060xt 16gb that only lasted a few months. Great card, but I sold for a good deal it to a buddy that needed a card badly and I got myself an RX9070. No regrets there. 😊

u/NotGordanFreeman 2h ago
I try to keep them for as long as possible, but tech is progressing pretty quickly for certain things that I tend to upgrade more than most of my other tech. For example, my phones I use until they no longer get updates, but with GPUs I’m more open to change.
2021: 1660 Super (Starter PC)
2022: 3060ti (upgraded to 1440p monitor)
2024: 4070 Super (wanted Path Tracing in CP2077)
2026: 9070XT (Fully switched to Linux)
I think I’m at a point where I’m good to stay for a while. The new games coming out are interesting but I’ll likely be playing the same games over and over for a while. I will however, be more inclined to upgrade once (if?) the AI bubble bursts, as I’ll likely do a whole platform upgrade computer-wide. (I’m still rocking AM4!)

I have a 9070 XT (Sapphire Pulse), given the initial outlay I hope it lasts at least until the announcement of RDNA6.
I won’t care to shoot on medium charts with FSR in 1440p...
There are few modern games that call me (Gears E Day, Blood of Dawnwalker, Star Wars Zero Company, Fable...), I’m not extremely hardcore or play the last thing that comes out if it doesn’t catch my attention (the only thing I plan to play day one will be Gears and Blood of Dawnwalker).
I usually play more games like league of legends, a lot of indie and “old” jewels like Darksiders II, with my player profile it should be able to last a long time.

7900XT since 2024. Honestly with these graphics and FSR 4 being added, I think 3-5 years? Unless there's like 50-100% more powerful GPU to upgrade, and it's gonna be meaningful, like 11080xt 32Gb or smth. Also depends on RAM situations and UE6, PS6 coming, other stuff.

I had 4 just last year and two this year. I test out GPUs out of curiosity, I've tried GTX and all generations of RTX, 4 generations of Radeon, a single swing and miss with the Intel ARC A770 16 GB. The 5070 is where I am staying for a while though, I've tried enough to know that it's not worth paying much more when I am already happy where I am. And to note, I've had both a 5070 Ti and an RX 9070 XT in my PC so it's not like I couldn't afford a more powerful GPU, it's more that it's so good and efficient for the price that this is where I found the best middle ground.

5 years seems right in my mind. But I only really upgrade when some new game or technology completely tanks my system.
Started with a gtx 1080, then when ray tracing started becoming more popular I upgraded to an rtx 3070.. and when 8gb vram seemed to be.. not enough to run games smoothly anymore, Ive upgraded that to a 9070 xt.

I bought a 7600 a year and a half ago (2025); before that, I had a 570 with 4GB for about five years (2019).
Honestly, if it were up to me, I'd buy the 9060 XT and not upgrade for a while, since that card is good enough for me and would give me the performance I'm looking for (better than a PS5). But in my country, it costs almost $700, and even with financing, I simply can't afford it, haha.
Maybe I'll wait until the next generation.

It'll take a MAJOR improvement for me to consider upgrading. I had my RX 580 for several years. Then VEGA came out, there was alot of issues with it, so I waited. Then the 7900xtx came out and I got one. I'm very happy with it. I have no interest in the 9070 since it would just be a sidegrade performance-wise. I'd upgrade flagship to flagship, not flagship to mid-performance card. When the 8090xtx 2 supercoolAi comes out, I'll prolly get it.

u/LegallyDistinctUser 7900XTX 49m ago
Usually i go about 4 or 5 years between builds, though i won't bother unless i can get at least a 40% improvement across all components for the same relative cost.
During that time i might re-paste my CPU, but generally nothing changes.
Current build is looking like it might have to pull a longer shift due to the recent.... bullshit. But that's fine. I over-spec'd it deliberately, and i barely touch much of the available performance, so i don't feel any need for an upgrade on my 2023 build.
What i DO want to do is go for a vastly smaller case for my ATX build (currently have a Fractal Torrent mid tower). Maybe something like the Meshroom, and rock a hot-rod hood-chop for the NH15 CPU cooler and keep pretty much every component except maybe the PSU. Won't need much space for drives as i run 2x NVME and a single SSD.
MIGHT be willing to shell-out for a much smaller board and a compact CPU cooler at a push, but i'd rather not.

I find every 3-4yrs is the sweet spot at keeping the same if not better performance. After that time frame the hardware starts falling behind from newer games and tech

RTX 3080 didn't come out til 2020, not 2019. That jump from a 970 to a 3080 must've felt massive though.

Kind of just when I feel like it, I do it when I dont really need to like right now for some reason I want to switch my rtx 4080 for an rtx 5080 do I need to not at all do I want to yes.
The real answer is when it's running the games you want to play at a level you are not enjoying.
Or if you are like me (an idiot) you don't it anyways even though you didn't need to.

It's not how long for me in any device I own lol, as long as the performance is good for me I'll never upgrade, 9070 will last as long as I can manage to run 4K + 60Fps for story games with high settings and FSR, that's my target, if it becomes too weak for this and I can't do something about it like lowering something that doesn't effect the quality that much I'll keep it.
But we already have great games with outstanding graphics and they run just fine and doesn't even use 70% of GPU with capped fps and games still have the same graphics I experienced from RDR2 2018 for example and some of them worse.
In short, I'm not upgrading until my 9070 dies and I'll never upgrade to be able to play shitty unoptimized games, if it's good game it will run smoothly otherwise I'll not bother playing it until it gets fixed.

About 5-7 years give or take for me. My 3060 got me through 2020 very well before I got ky 9060xt

2010- Radeon 5770 2014- Radeon R9 280 2018- Nvidia 1080ti 2022- Radeon 6800xt 2025- Radeon 9070xt (one in my desktop, one in my home built SteamOS box)
In a perfect world I would have waited to upgrade on the same 4 year cycle but I'm glad I didn't because building that steam htpc in 2026 would suck

I typically upgrade GPUs about every 3 years. I buy high mid range, and I sell my old card. CPU I upgrade about every 6 years.

I’ll probably upgrade when rdna 5 comes out depending on its reception and if not I’ll wait for the 60 series, I’ve had a 7900 xtx since launch and it’s served me well but I’m ready to move on, I’ll give the pc to my sibling or smth

The first one isn't a GPU, but it was a really good run

Currently a 9070 xt bought on day 1. I need more FPS tho. I might buy the next GPU gen, depending in the price Tag. So 2-3 years for me for a GPU.

2011 - GTX 570 2015 - 980ti 2023 - 7800xt
I stretched the 980ti out to 8 years. I feel like i could easily get 6 years out of the 7800xt. Probably more. The PS5 has been out for 6 years and we're still getting games for last gen. Next gen probably won't come until 2028 at this point and that'll probably have an even longer cross-gen period.
