[SOLVED] 2600x and 1080

[Norryv]

Hi guys,

I am wondering if a combination of Ryzen 5 2600x and geforce 1080 is good for at least 2-3 years of gaming on ultra or high (upcoming games)? Currently, I have i5 2500k and rx 570 8gb and I can play Ghost Recon Breakpoint on high settings with 50fps. Is it worth the upgrade?

Thanks.

At 1080p.....the 1080 is probably good for a very very long time.
Your CPU is plenty for a 1080.

The 1080 is almost twice as fast as the 570. So you should get almost double the fps (all other things being equal)

Ultra/High on upcoming games would be total guesswork - although I would suspect it'll be plenty viable for a few years yet, at 1080p.

While not a guarantee, look to the past for how GPUs of the class age.
By 2022, a 1080 will be ~6 years old. A (somewhat) comparable today is a 780. Upper tier card, 6 years old.

Ultra is a little out of reach for a 780 today, but it's still a respectable 1080p card. Somewhere in the general ballpark between an RX560-RX570 for modern-day comparisons.

I wouldn't expect history to be fully replicated here, but gives you a worst case scenario IMO.

Thanks guys, but what about the processor? I think that the graphic card is more easily replacable than the CPU

The 2600X is fine, and will last a good few GPU upgrades.
