Games are naturally getting more demanding, even more so due to the PS4 (6GB VRAM required for Shadow of Mordor and VRAM requirements increasing from 2GB as time goes on). I built my computer back in February this year and it runs pretty much everything maxed settings or max without AA but games will just keep getting more and more complex over time. Some games like Metro: Last Light and Tomb Raider run at 30-40 fps maxed settings no AA on my computer but soon I'm going to have to drop more than just AA to keep up. Should I invest in a GPU late next year when the next batch of GPUs release or should I hold out longer when they get even better (stacked VRAM plus architectural improvements in 2016)? I'm fine dropping to high settings in games but I'm just not sure how much longer my GPU will last.
GPUs have gotten quite fast recently with the whole R9 295x2's, Titan Black/Z's, GTX 980/970s, 780Ti/290X's so I'm just wondering when would be a good time to upgrade.
This is my first build and I've only built it in February this year so it's not even a year old but GPUs advance quickly and yeah.
