It's not shit, not even close. It just isn't top of the line anymore.

What the fuck are you talking about? A 3080 is significantly better than a 4060 and still perfectly viable for 1440p.

Shhhh.

Hey TC, you're right. That setup is shit and I want to help you prepare to get a better PC. I'll buy your current PC for $500. I'll sweeten the deal a bit by letting you keep your monitor. My generosity should not be overlooked as I'm trying to help you get a better machine for today's graphically intense games.

Nah, if you've got a decent machine, you can easily get 5-10 years out of them. If you want to push towards the 10 year mark, you might have to upgrade your video card.

I usually build a new one about every 6 years, and my old machine at that point is never like, "unusable" or something.

meanwhile games barely look any better
all the extra horsepower means is devs can be lazier, less compression, less time looking into and utilizing techniques to reduce load, etc

If it runs well, awesome.

If it doesn't, set it to render in 1080p.

Big deal.

Part of being a PC gamer is coming to terms with feelings of FOMO.

And yet my RX570 still plays BG3, so I guess being outdated doesn't really mean anything.
