No one can tell how long before it will considered bad by gaming standards.
Its a Good Card atleast be that way till 2015
Normaly gamers upgrade every year or max 3 years so you can game with that 3 years for sure.
Go ahead. Thanks

The GTX 660 is a below mid-range graphics card (660TI is mid-range). You get what you pay for, so expect to play most games at moderate settings on 1920x1080 maximum. As far as how "long" it will last, it depends on what you mean by that. You will be able to play games on it for years I'm sure, but as time goes on, you'll have to lower settings more and more.

Its a test of your gamer breaking point. I use an All in one PC that i had for 5 years, not intended for gaming. I can play AC3 900x600 resolution on everything Low with 20 fps.
