Seven years is a bit harsh, but upgrading the gpu once in 3-4 years would have saved you money and electronic waste.

7 year isnt that bad. I like to always say if you vare about how hardware ages as a gamer, match the consoles of the current generation.

So any decent 8c/16t cpu will likely age fine for the foreseeable generation. With gpus, ot was a matter of matching what the consoles have reserved for vram (10-14gb depending on how much ram the game reserves for itself and the OS). Its why 8 gb vram gpus are aging like milk with the current gen.

I'm still running a PC from 2012. It's seriously fine, I only started feeling it last year. Looking to upgrade next month.
