I think you don't get how that future proofing really works. It is not that much about performance. 1. It's about features/capability that games depend on. Since Xbox One/PS4 gen consoles, it is close to console capability. Buying PS6 capability is way to get gaming PC that lasts over 7 years after PS6 is released, until PS7 games are out. 2. It's about power usage. More watts mean more heat, more cooling, more noise... and lower lifespan. If electronics use less watts, they usually lasts longer. And noisy air heater called "PC" does irritate that much. 3. It's about compatibility. Expect that Microsoft is messing with Windows, requiring TPM 3.0, secure boot 5.0 and other non-sense to forcing you to buy new computer without good reason. While games are increasingly compatible with Linux+Steam, it is good idea to have hardware compatible with some free Debian without any hassle to use it until smoke comes out. We don't know yet next gen console specs, need to wait two years until they are out so if someone is buying gaming PC near future, best option would be to optimize idle watts. Like having 750W PSU and target peak watts at most around half of that. nVidia is lost their mojo. Rumors tell that their 16Gb VRAM GPUs use 300W at minimum, so better option is to choose mid range AMD RX 8000 around 250W that are coming soon, with more raytrace capability than lower end models. And for CPU something like Ryzen 7 9700X. PCI express 4.0 NVMe is enough and runs cooler than 5.0. There is very good change that this kind of computer is good for gaming over ten years.
It is a function of longevity and performance, but I understand it's an art rather than a science. I think nividias DLSS is a big deal in the future proofing arena, it's the biggest reason I recommend them. That being said I think FSR is damn good and underrated.
@@darkpurpleshadow3240 In my understanding, FSR is in driver and can be set up on every application, and also it is open sourced so it can also be added everywhere, so I like more AMD way to do that. I'm writing this on over 13 year old gaming PC that was made future proofing in mind, and this has nVidia. Reason was that nVidia had so much better drivers and better support but I don't think this is true anymore. nVidia cards went silly after GTX cards, and while AMD was junk before, they are fixed their issues.
This is my first PC build ever. Going with a 7600x CPU and 7900 xt GPU. Just wanna put as much into the GPU as possible at the moment and get the build built. Then I think I'll get a 9800x3d when prices drop to help with 1 percent lows and with CPU heavy games which I do play
@@darkpurpleshadow3240 Yeah I'm planning on having the 7900 xt and a solid x3d CPU to last me at least 5 years before upgrading and hopefully there are solid choices then. Here's hoping.
@Yuttle the area where amd is better than nvidia is in the VRAM some recent titles have been maxing out at over 8gb, since the 7900xt has 20 it should have the legs you need for quite some time

Waiting for another sub-75W low profile GPU to replace my rtx 3050. But by that point, APUs might be good enough to make that tier of GPUs redundant.
You know what, that isn't even a bad idea.

You can't really go wrong with an 7900 XT the next generation of graphics cards so far look a bit disappointing from the leaks.

With a card of that power I doubt youll have issues

@John-Wolfe yes that's true, Nvidia gimps bram on purpose imo.
