You don't honestly have to upgrade that often. It's mostly the resolution race that's making hardware go obsolete quickly. If you are a still on 1080p then a 7970 from 2011 is a still a monster card that can max almost everything.
Yeah, I can probably play any game now at 1080p on a 7950 if I dialed down the major inefficient IQ/performance hit offenders in the settings for little loss in discernible IQ compared to when maxed out...Which I won't even notice if the gameplay is engrossing enough.
I don't get why some feels they will be getting a shitty experience in games unless they are maxed out when they can save a ton of money dropping settings.
