Inquiries about your build.
Hi everyone. I set up a new build with 16GB DDR4 RAM, a Ryzen 5 2600X, a GTX 2070, and a Gigabyte Aorus Pro B450M. I’m asking a few questions since this is my first project. Currently I’m playing at 1080p with 144Hz, not focusing much on resolution but on refresh rate. I didn’t spend much on a monitor. Can this system still handle medium settings in newer, more demanding games for the next few years? Right now it works well, but I want to know if it will last that long.
Absolutely, it's excessive for 144Hz. You might be able to enjoy ultra at around 144 frames per second.
Predicting performance in just a few years is extremely difficult due to the fast pace of technological change. The PC landscape is constantly evolving, making long-term expectations unreliable. This particular system should still function well for another three years, at least. I was running an FX-8320 with a GTX 770 2GB until Black Friday. It should be able to reach 1080p144, though I’m not certain. However, it’s likely to perform adequately if you can handle that resolution on high settings now—this usually means you’ll see stable frames for several years ahead.
Based on your proximity to the build, you might have had time to submit it.
