Please vote in the poll how many years you expect to use a card or cards in your main rig, ie how long you expect to keep it (them) before replacing it (them). The basic concept is how long you expect to keep a GPU setup between upgrades.
You can either answer your expectations ("I expect a card to last ____ but I seem to actually replace every two years") or just how long you personally on average keep a card(s) unless you plan to change that behavior going forward. All that matters is the expected lifespan you have for any future GPU upgrade.
Please note, this is just for your main rig. So if your "retirement plan" for old cards is to give them to the girlfriend/cousin/son that time doesn't count. Only the time the card remains your flagship GPU (or GPUs) counts. The second you upgrade to a better card the old card is out of time for this poll.
Thank you.
