Still on a 1060 over here.

Sure, I may have to limit FFXIV to 30fps in summer to stop it crashing, but it still runs.

They are talking about skipping 1 or 2 generations not taking 10 years off

Hey, it's not 2026 just yet!

I'm running Linux for everything and my GTX 1070 is still chugging along trying to power my 1440p 144hz monitor ^^'

Well, I mostly just play strategy games and CS2 (which I do have to run on almost the lowest possible settings without FSR. I basically turn everything to lowest except for lowest still AA setting and dynamic shadows to not have a disadvantage and get 110 - 180 fps depending on the situation)

But I'm planning on buying a used Radeon 9070 XT and just inserting it into my current build (i7 6800k based lololol) and on eventually buying a new build around it

(A 750W 80 Plus Platinum PSU should be able to handle a new 970 XT)

Hey, I'm also on a 1060 still! Admittedly I hardly game anymore, although I am considering another Skyrim playthrough.

Me too, I was considering an Intel B580 mostly cause I feared another price surge...
