Given the current price of PC parts, I've got a feeling these percentages will change as we keep hold of components for longer, but as things currently stand, nearly half of PC Gamer readers are rather measured when it comes to how often they upgrade their gaming rigs.
We recently asked you: How long do you keep your gaming PC unchanged before you upgrade anything? And the answers are perhaps not too surprising until you get down to the middle of the results.
Up top is a larger-than-I-really-expected percentage of folks who are smart about their money and keep their gaming PCs unchanged for at least five years. With 47% noting you don't change anything for five or more years, you are the sensible ones, who love the one you're with and make sure you get full value out of your system.
I salute you.
But then you have another 42% of readers who responded to our poll who will upgrade at either years 2 or 3, and given that's a regular GPU release cadence, I'm going to stick my neck out and guess that a lot of those will be graphics card hounds like myself.
