Currently trying to refund the new Indiana Jones game because it's unplayable without raytracing 
. My card isn't even old, it's just 8GB of VRAM is the absolute minimum apparently so my mobile 3060 is now useless. I miss when I used to be able to play new games in 2014 on my shitty AMD card at 20fps, yeah it didn't look great but developers still included a very low graphics option for people like me. Now you need to be upgrading every 2 years to keep up.

I have been pleasantly surprised that Path of Exile 2 runs at a pretty stable 40fps on my 6 year old GPU so long as I keep global illumination off. But other games have been a complete crapshoot like Returnal and Death Stranding.
I'm doing the electric archer build and if I drop too many lightning rods and start chaining lightning like 50x it gets real stuttery and I have a 3070ti, probably will have to adjust settings as I get further in the game
That's probably the spammiest build in the game, and I'd be surprised if that's GPU bound. Maybe the particles are a problem without dynamic culling. But otherwise that's probably a CPU bound thing.
