Yea, it’s anecdata, but I only replaced my 1080 ti about 1.5 years ago.
Graphical fidelity is at the point that unless some new technology comes out to take advantage of GPUs, I don’t see myself ever upgrading the part. Only replacing it whenever it dies.
And that 1080 ti isn’t dead either, I passed the rig onto someone who wanted to get into PC gaming and it’s still going strong. I mostly upgraded because I needed more ram and my motherboards empty slots were full of drywall dust.
The phone I’m more liable to upgrade solely due to battery life degradation.
