Comment on It's so expensive to upgrade...

Its running fine although I tend to play older/indie games at 1440p 60-300 fps depending on whay im playing.
Although recently I’ve been wanting to play Expedition 33 which I would probabily have issues with when I get around to it

That’s really amazing. Before I got my 1080 I remember how having a video card that was just 5 years out of date meant many new games were completely unplayable. I wonder if I can hold out long enough for the next batch of AMD cards to come out. I’m on Linux these days and would really prefer to buy an AMD card, but I don’t want to buy a medium spec card, and the last high-spec card AMD released was the 7900 type cards from 3.5 years ago. I wouldn’t want to replace my 10 year old card with one that’s 3.5 years old. That seems pointless.
