    Why even buy a New graphics card nowadays?

    I currently have an rtx 3060ti, and all games that run badly on it won’t run better on a more recent card anyway.

    You can’t outrun bad optimisation, no matter how good the card is

      So, any comparisons I might dig up that show the performance difference between that card and a 5070 are, just nonsense? What?

        just nonsense

        Sure. I mean, of course it makes sense to pay 600€ so instead of playing hollow knight at 144 fps, I can play hollow knight at 144 fps.

        And for the other games, instead of stalker 2 or cronos stuttering unplayably at 20 fps, it now stutters like hell at 40 fps.

        I don’t see any reason to upgrade. The games I mentioned still run badly on a reasonable new GPU. Everything else, except these games, still run good on my GPU.

      Out of curiosity, are you gaming on windows 11? I get ~70fps at 1440 on STALKER 2 on Linux with a 9060xt.
