For many PC gamers, it’s common to make your big GPU upgrade every few years. For others, every new generation offers the opportunity to upgrade to the latest and greatest. But there are a few that will settle for nothing but the best (Fury X/Titan X level Products). These particular PC enthusiasts may find themselves upgrading as each newer, better GPU makes itself available. As it so happens, we happen to have one such PC enthusiast within the Wccftech community. It’s the Wccftech user and youtuber, Hardware In-Depth.
