    It’s never been normal to upgrade every year, and it still isn’t. Every three years is probably still more frequent than normal. The issue is there haven’t been reasonable prices for cards for like 8 years, and it’s worse more recently. People who are “due” for an upgrade aren’t because it’s unaffordable.

      If consoles can last 6-8 years per gen so can my PC.

      Your PC can run 796 of the top 1000 most popular games listed on PCGameBenchmark - at a recommended system level.

      That’s more than good enough for me.

      I don’t remember exactly when I built this PC but I want to say right before covid, and I haven’t felt any need for an upgrade yet.
