i just need an expensive graphics card to flex.. not really a reason to upgrade my gpu because a GTX 1660 TI runs everything as of right now, but in the future the devs will create games to force me to upgrade to play them instead of supporting the older hardware. as long as i can play Cyber Punk 2077 without needing to upgrade, ill be fine.
Devs aren't gonna be "forcing" you to upgrade, it mainly comes down to driver support which depends on your GPU maker which is NVidia in this case but they still technically support GPU's as far back as the GTX 600 series which is over 8 years old at this point. What you're gonna run into far before driver support ends is reaching a point of no longer having acceptable performance in games, for most people it seems 1080p 60fps (at atleast around low-mediumish settings) is considered sufficient and your 1660 Ti will definitely be good for that for a while and should have no problem running Cyberpunk 2077, albeit probably not at the highest settings. (Ultra is overrated these days anyway, Medium/High looks perfectly good and runs much better). Since you're currently running at 1050p you're even safer. Also, you had high background CPU usage when running that test, you running F@h on it or something? I'd close whatever it was and run the test again as that definitely hurt your score
Anyway, here's my results https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/31273944
Says my GPU is running below potential but I don't have the OC bios on the GPU enabled which might be it, I prefer the cooler temps but need to experiment some more with undervolting and maybe I could get back some of that performance while still maintaining cooler temps
