3070 can’t play them to my standard.

You've poisoned yourself. Chasing fidelity and refresh rates has done for graphics what short-form media did to attention spans. I'm emulating PS1 games and playing Fallout 4 on a 970 while my computer fans blow like the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and I am free.

    Those still doing 1080p/1440p gaming get the best of both worlds: high framerates with all the fancy graphics turned on, without needing to rely on frame gen or spend a thousand bucks on a graphics card.

    IMO 4k isn't enough of a qualitative leap to justify all the hacks needed to make it run acceptably on current hardware, let alone the sky-high VRAM costs for that resolution. I'd rather run a game in ultra quality at 1080p than medium quality in 4k.
