Upgrade

[keynes]

How often do people upgrade computers and monitors/TVs?
Haven’t found any issues running any games so far at 1440p except RE 2 remake (some RAM issues).
I think the GTX 1080 ti in SLI should last me for at least 1 more year.
Unfortunately no GPU upgrade options on liquid cooling systems with PCS.
I would still prefer to go with a liquid cooling system as the lack of noise and low temps during gaming are ideal for me.
I was also thinking of upgrading my TV as it is around 6 years old and no support is provided anymore for online content or 1080 resolution with certain apps like YouTube even though is a 4K TV.
I have been lucky not to be affected financially by recent events and cancelling our summer holidays is giving me some extra money to spend. Alternatively I may take the more sensible approach and save!

Just food for thought if you were thinking of upgrading the TV, a lot of the latest Samsung and LG 4k TV's actually include freesync so would make a huge impact if you chose to use it for gaming.

One alternative to spending on a TV would be something like an Amazon Fire.

Even if Amazon dropped support for an app, with a neat little app on your android phone called apps2fire you can load any app that's on you mobile onto the Fire.

Just a cheaper alternative ;-)

I do have access to apps but 4K content on those is not supported. Placed an order for a samsung TV so hopefully will get it next week.
