I plan to keep my 1070 for as long as I can.

I don't have anyhting against those that upgrade every year, but unless the actual hardware is limiting your gaming experience, I really don't see the need to upgrade.

My GTX 580 was the graphic card I used the longest: 36 months. I skipped the whole Kepler microarchitecture (600 and 700 series) and finally upgraded from GTX 580 to 970.

So far it looks that I'll use the 1070 even longer if nothing unexpected happens (or I'm in a buying mood when a good deal appears).

Extending the warranty to five years for 20 bucks wasn't my worst decision... even if I upgrade before that, the 1070 will run well in my brother's PC the rest of the warranty and beyond.

I had a 560 TI right up until last March (Or May).  1080 vanilla was on sale for like 650 cad.  It was too good a price to pass up.  The 1080 will probably last me till ps6.  Might build a new machine then (Rocking a 2700 vanilla i7).
