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.

I have been pleasantly surprised that Path of Exile 2 runs at a pretty stable 40fps on my 6 year old GPU so long as I keep global illumination off. But other games have been a complete crapshoot like Returnal and Death Stranding.

I'm doing the electric archer build and if I drop too many lightning rods and start chaining lightning like 50x it gets real stuttery and I have a 3070ti, probably will have to adjust settings as I get further in the game

That's probably the spammiest build in the game, and I'd be surprised if that's GPU bound. Maybe the particles are a problem without dynamic culling. But otherwise that's probably a CPU bound thing.
