R9 390 Lifespan

[TechnicalStuff]

I know that there have been countless debates about how good the R9 390, but I am wondering how long it will last. I would like to run games at 1080p at 60FPS. I'm not going to play intense graphic demanding games all the time, but I am going to play GTA 5 and Fallout. Will the card last or should I think about getting another one.

If you looking at ultra 60fps 1080p, maybe for 2-3 generations.

If I play at 1920 x 1080, how many years do you think it will last. Will it last longer at that resolution or last the same amount of time?

It'll last probably til mid-2016 at maximum settings (Some games like The Witcher can't even be ran maxed with 60fps) in most games. Probably til mid/late 2017 until it becomes only good for low/medium settings. However you can always pick up a used one for super cheap at the end of the generation of the GPU and Crossfire it. You'd be set for quite a while
