Going back to your beginnings in PC gaming: the first game you played and loved, but the frame rate and resolution weren't ideal. Your first "I need/want to upgrade my specs" basically.

I've been playing PC games since 1986. Started off with Kings Quest, and Heroes Quest. I can honestly say that no game has caused me to upgrade my PC until last year when I bought Cyberpunk 2077 because it was on sale. At the time I was running a 1080Ti, which is still a capable card, but I'm a whore for fancy graphics and visuals, and when I saw what CDPR was doing with Raytracing in that game I needed to have that. Pulled the trigger on a 4090 in January and haven't regretted it for one minute. My 1080Ti lasted me 5 years, I'm anticipating my 4090 will do the same.
