Currently trying to refund the new Indiana Jones game because it's unplayable without raytracing cri. 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 got a special fucking bone to pick with Cities Skylines 2. I've never had a game look like such vaseline-smeared ass while making my computer sound like it's about to take off. It's a shame because it's definitely come a long way as a game and has some really nice buildings now, but to play it I start to get nervous after like half an hour and have to let my computer cool down, fuck that shit.

There's a number of YouTube videos examining how CS2 was designed in such a shockingly bad way to murder your GPU
