And, honestly, a 2060 from 7 years ago is perfectly capable. Gaming is absolutely an enjoyable hobby without cutting edge technology.

    I can scarcely tell the difference between 2160p and 1440p, and 1440p and 1080p unless I'm actively looking, though I am in my fifth decade so my eyes aren't what they used to be. I've found lower resolution with better settings to generally be better than the converse.

    I've been using a 3080 for years and plan to keep using it until it goes to meet my Voodoo 5 in the great recycling bin in the sky. I'm lucky enough to have a second x16 slot so I picked up a 100€ used GPU for LSFG. Instant doubled frame rate, so now I'm good through 2035.

    It's like a lot of things. There is a point where quality is no longer distractingly bad for most people, and you can spend more for higher quality and you appreciate it for a little while then forget about it until you go back to the lower quality. But if you spend enough time with the low quality stuff, it bothers you less.
