Raytraced games can be taxing. Look at Cyberpunk

Yah but like 1 game? Plus is seems like the vast majority are playing e sports games that still run on my rx580. I’m ready to upgrade and it’s so overwhelming now lol

Do you remember when crysis came out. Building a computer that could run that game became such a cultural phenomenon within the enthusiast community it is still used as a trope today. 1 game is all it takes to keep things rolling.

It was much more of a meme than an actual bar that people were competing for. No one said "Can it run Crysis at max settings?". It was pretty much "Can it run Crysis?". My shitty ass computer could run Crysis just fine. Hell a lot of youtubers who run benchmarks still use CS-GO as a benchmark.

CS:GO is a great benchmark because there is a lot of data on it and it is largely CPU-bound so it works great to test CPUs or CPU/GPU scaling.

Yah but do you hear anyone referring to cyberpunk in that way?

VR is also a big performance suck. Most native VR games run pretty efficiently, but if you want to play sim games with a VR mode you pretty much need a 3080+ to get decent power for a 4k headset (and 4k is the "minimum" for sim games - obviously people make do with less, but it's tough to read dials/labels/etc. below 4k).
