Games generally aren’t made expecting all their players to have a current-gen top-of-the-line card, so you don’t benefit much from having a top-of-the-line card at first, and then a couple of generations later, usually there’s a card that outperforms the previous top-of-the-line card that costs half as much as it did, so you end up with a better card in the long run.
Yeah, I am looking at spending less than I did before though. But when will an under £200 card give like double the performance of a 2070? I don’t want to spend that much for +20%. Unless my current card dies there is little reason to upgrade.

My 7800XT can’t play Hogwarts Legacy without stuttering (on Linux). I’m really regretting not getting a 5080 at this point.
