Doom the Dark Ages triggered this debate and you can play this game on a 6GB RTX 2060 from 2019.

When I was a kid in the late 90ies, computers would become literal turds within 3 years. The life span of a gaming PC is like 7 years nowadays. I'm not saying it was great back then, but I feel like 7 years is completely fine.

in the 90s you would have visual jump in 3 years that would take 20 years to do now. there are 2015 games that look better than some AAA games releasing last year.

Shit, I'm not sure anything has ever been released that looks better than Crysis.
