If you feel any better: i think that modern requirements for games are bizarrely too high for relatively small gains over what we had 10 years ago.
Yes, because
No kidding, denuvo made me stop buying games every time because I just detest it and what it stands for. Also, boggles resources way too much (and no, having a root kit is a no no for me). But more importantly, single player games with denuvo is the ultimate low.
The fact denuvo can make a 20+ year old port run like garbage is especially impressivly bad. It's sometimes hard to avoid, but usually it gets dropped because it's a subscription a publisher has to pay. Patient gamers just have to be patient.
Fuck it, we’ll just have it render at 320p and let FSR upscale it to 4k.
I'm still using a GTX 1070 and none of the games I play has had issues yet. The most recent games I've played on it were hitman 3, cult of the Lamb and Cross code. None of the games are that demanding but they were all good. I guess I just don't play AAA titles (although hitman 3 is AAA but older).
I recently went installed GTA SA and my CPU was running at freaking 20% with graphics cranked up. I remember when I played it around 2010 by potato PC was lagging and freezing. But anyway the game still rocks after 24 damn years and it only requires 4-5 GB
Back in the day the online servers for that game were crazy fun.
Never really played online, remember I did it a few times but it stopped working
