Yeah, there's nothing I do that will max this thing out. Maybe one day it when it becomes a minimum requirement for some newer games, it'll be time to update. I don't see that happening any time soon, though. Even then, if you only use 1080p it'll be fine for some time longer.

I don't remember exactly when, but I also upgrade my graphics card sometime in the last year or two. I will usually buy one of the lower ends of the new line, which when I upgraded was the 3060, and it still handles everything just fine. I don't need the best one out there for over a grand, as you still tend to have to upgrade at the same point anyways. So if the 6xxx series is out by the time I need to upgrade, I'll just get one of the lower end ones again.

Regards,
Nick

.... Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
