When warranty runs out or when it ded, whichever occurs first

 

[freezze]

usually when it fail or when your hand get itchy

 

[Illusionist_85]

only when its kaput or theres sales lo

I used to do it every year, but have stopped doing this for some time now. No point chasing after the newest. Just a meaningless chase. Save the money and time to spend with family is better.

When I can't achieve 60 fps on new games that I play (which should be 2019)

I will upgrade my GPU when existing GPU is not working!

After the new card has performance leap average 30%.

either too slow for current needs, or not working.

u can refer to Legacy GPU Hierarchy
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

The graphics card hierarchy chart is to help you judge if a card is a good buy or not. It groups graphics cards with similar overall performance levels into tiers. The top tier contains the highest-performing cards available and performance decreases as you go down the tiers from there.

You can use this hierarchy to determine if an upgrade is worthwhile. I don’t recommend upgrading your graphics card unless the replacement card is at least three tiers higher. Otherwise, the upgrade is somewhat parallel and you may not notice a worthwhile difference in performance.

As long as existing card can 60FPS in high no need to upgrade.
