    I’ve been rocking the same graphics card since 2021, and it still plays every new game on high settings. There are very few games that can even afford the production budget that would push a card like that or even a PS5 to its limits anyway. My most-played game is a 2D game from 2012 that can run on a cheap laptop, and the market at large is most focused on games that are so low spec that they can run on phones too.

      And even if you’re playing a lot of modern AAA games, the settings beyond medium are often just offering diminishing returns. I can barely tell the difference in most cases and it will still tank the FPS down by half. It’s just not worth it.

        People, especially those who run games on monitors with high resolution, sleep on the fact that you can easily turn AA off to get a massive boost in performance for virtually no degradation of graphics.
