the gaming upgrade market was kinda ridiculous anyway.
We dont need new, more powerful GPUs every 12/16 months
GPUs should, like, a new GPU every 5 years at a bare minium. New Cards being churned out every year is why gaming is shit, because theres no time for devs to learn, to optimize..instead they just target apis and get it out, and tell us use DLSS/FSR3 if performance is shit, even at 1080p there are still games they expect us to use stupid ass scaling to make playable.
APIs are... how you tell the GPU to do things. Nobody's doing low level hardware access like it's 1990 and you're running MS-DOS.
Yes, summer child.
They also used to optimize for cards, too, to get the most performance for players. They don't do that anymore, hence they only target the APIs and shit it out regardless of performance.
