Just going to work on my game log as well to stay away from newer games and the temptation to upgrade.

I'm in the games industry and I can tell you first-hand nobody is making games targetting future hardware right now.

The pattern used to be to optimise assuming your current average hardware would be minspec by the time your game came out. That's no longer true and everyone knows it.

If you pick up a used 3060, you'll have a solid gaming PC for many years to come.
