    I have such a mid tier, $130ish graphics card and it’s fucking fine for everything I play. When (rarely) FPS is low, I play on low settings and I couldn’t care less. I enjoy the game, not the number of polygons.

    I sometimes hate watch the YouTube videos for $1000+ video cards.

      I said that until I upgraded and tried my first ray traced game (Control). I was flabbergasted.
      I still remember playing games on dos, so I feel like I’ve gone through all the significant game visual* quality milestones, and for me, this is one of them.
      That doesn’t mean it should be in every game or that it makes one automatically good.

      I have a desktop with a 1050TI and 2015 intel CPU. In all my time with it I haven’t run into any trouble running games on a 720p screen. Only times where the PC is struggled a bit was stupid shit like emulating Demon’s Souls or running AAA games through wine.

      Personal Computer hardware peaked in 2018.
