Hey all,
I was looking into getting a new GPU and I would like to at least have it for a little while before I'd need to replace it. However, I don't know how long it would be until newer cards come out. How often to new graphics cards come out? How long does it take for a GPU to be considered dated? I'm debating spending a premium to get one of the new ones now, as I don't see a future where the resale MSRP drops before the next generation of cards come out. Are there any other things I should consider when purchasing a GPU for mild future-proofing? Any advice is appreciated.
