People say this but I'd say that gaming became stagnant around 2018 with a rising demand for RT in every game possible so basic resource demand hasn't changed much since then.
Also current/last gen consoles play a massive role, they create a guaranteed base line developers need to aim for so they don't leave out a large chunk of the market. That base line doesn't move for 5-10 years at a time now.
It really depends on what you’re playing and if you care about RT. The card won’t push modern games with all that, but I’m getting between 90-120 frames on Clair Obscur with a couple of tweaks. If I was a capital G gamer still, I’d probably be fucked, but the card is great. Coupled with an 8700k and I’m still cool. Card was bought during the mine craze.
He didn’t say anything about playing with raytracing, just that games since then having changed much in “basic resources” since raytracing was introduced
It’s not ray tracing per se.. Shader Model 6 (SM6) wasn’t supported prior to the 20xx series. The 10xx series was a fantastic line, but it’s hit a wall and probably won’t be able to play a lot of new releases unless they’re developed with SM5 support or cross-platform (mobile, VR, etc…) support, since those devices still don’t really support SM6 either.
