Currently trying to refund the new Indiana Jones game because it’s unplayable without raytracing cri. My card isn’t even old, it’s just 8GB of VRAM is the absolute minimum apparently so my mobile 3060 is now useless. I miss when I used to be able to play new games in 2014 on my shitty AMD card at 20fps, yeah it didn’t look great but developers still included a very low graphics option for people like me. Now you need to be upgrading every 2 years to keep up.

    There is some boundary pushing, but I feel like the time period between 2005 and 2015 was like… If you had a two year old graphics card you’d struggle with the latest games. Or something. Certainly, a 5 year old graphics card in 2005 would have been rough (as some people mention in this thread).

    I think graphics cards have comparatively gotten more expensive though, compared to the rest of the computer.
