So now we're being forced to have poorer performance and locked into buying more expensive hardware.

I'll have to pass on this type of crap and vote with my wallet when ray tracing still isn't there for the majority of pc gamers.

When was your last upgrade? Curious for context.

Mine was jan 2020. 2070 super will not cut it for this game, likely, since cyberpunk2077 with ray tracing makes my 3880x1440 monitor cry ~14-24 FPS.

I did an upgrade last year. Not really sure what I upgraded to because it doesn't matter.

I would still be using an fx9590 with a gtx970 if stability issues weren't driving me up the wall, because it otherwise ran everything I cared about just fine.
