    My Rx580 8gb is holding up surprisingly well. I bought stray and horizon zero darn (I’m keeping that spelling, I like it) and they are running really well. I shied away from post 2019 games because I was afraid my pc would burn, but I’ve been incorrect.

    1080p/6o fps ultra settings in Stray. Drops only to 40 fps in horizon on all high.

    Both in Linux via proton and while recording using an open source version of shadowplay

      Yep, vulkan and FSR/DLSS are giving more longevity to GPUs, CPUs are now the bottleneck, suddenly I can’t play any 2023 game without heavy stuttering because I only have a Ryzen 3200G.

      Sorry… Did you write 60 with an o?

      Anyway, I recently bought a 4080, but I’m genuinely only playing stuff like Dave the Diver, so I seriously don’t need it at all. I’m having some serious buyer’s remorse

      Power to you! I feel like gaming is widening up and becoming less of a hardware race.

      The only reason I put high end stuff in my machine is because I’m a Blender artist, but most of the games I play barely make it churn.

      For light modeling and developing the old MSI laptop I got passed down with 12GB of RAM and a 960M in it is handling just gloriously after putting an NVME and EndeavourOS on it! It’ll emulate stuff and play 95% of my entire library just fine.

      It’s a nice time.

      Now if only I could FIND the time…
