I did not. And now I see, it's not your age that is the issue.

How about we make peace? Cause you seem to be derailing.

Also what are you implying? That i am retarded

I am not i am quite peaceful

Many games can eat a lot of ram these days but I think 16GB is still fairly good for gaming.

RTX 2060 is also a great card, I reckon it should last you another 2 years before it becomes "too slow".

Ryzen 2600 is fairly modern and it's the last component I would upgrade. Those 6cores/12threads are a big benefit for modern games. I'm running a 1700X myself and won't replace it anytime soon even though I'm aware the 3xxx (and soon 4xxx) series offer a modest performance improvement in CPU related tasks.

i guess it depends, i used a ryzen 2600 before and for me it really fell short in some open world games and a lot of strategy titles to be honest, Total War comes to mind but also Mass Effect and complex simulations such as distant worlds or cities skylines if you want a serious answer next time be sure to specify the games you play the most.. there are enough situations to consider where the answer to your question is either " it depends or the whole lifetime of the components "

Peace it is then.

When did GOG forums become that toxic and why do GOG moderators allow it? The guy asked a perfectly normal question and only a few people took it seriously.

I urge the GOG moderators to take action and stop this harassment which is against GOG TOS.

Moderation is aware of the situation, judging by this thread. Mod comment on last page.

2060 should last a while yet at 1080p, as long as you don't expect ultra settings.

If you're asking how long it will be before you encounter a game that literally refuses to load no matter how much you adjust graphics settings... I agree with paladin181 in that you've easily got the better part of a decade before you encounter a game that absolutely will not run.

But if you're asking about games being playable at an "acceptable level of quality"... well, that really depends on the games you play and the graphics quality you want to play at. The great thing about the PC platform is that you have so much control over your games -- you can tweak resolution, frame rate, texture quality, shadows, lighting, particle effects, ray tracing, draw distance, and dozens of other settings. Oftentimes, lowering a few graphics settings by just a single level will provide VERY tangible performance improvements while having minimal -- if any -- effect on visual fidelity. Simple tweaks like this could be enough of a performance improvement to extend the life of your hardware by at least one or two generations.

Also, a GPU upgrade can significantly extend the life of your system. Graphics demands tend to increase a lot faster than CPU demands. A GTX 2060 is a perfectly fine "mainstream" graphics card. Upgrading to a GTX 3070 or 3080 will extend the lifetime of your overall system, though I would wait until later this year or early next year for the prices to come down. I highly suspect that the next GTX 4000 series (whenever that comes) will be more of an incremental improvement over the 3000 series. That seems to be the way NVIDIA goes -- a big architectural improvement, followed by one or two generations of incremental refinements.


And, if I could offer some constructive personal advice: ...if you left that one little "jab" out of your initial post, it would have completely changed the entire tone of this thread. You did indeed ask a very legitimate question ("How long will my system last?"), but you immediately came in with a chip on your shoulder by throwing in that "I know people here dislike me" comment. Saying things like that immediately (before anyone has even responded) sets a confrontational tone to the entire discussion and often encourages certain types of people to respond who maybe otherwise would not. If you hadn't said that, this would have been a very simple question without any of the personal brouhaha that is derailing what would otherwise be an interesting discussion about system longevity which many of us enjoy engaging in.
