This is why I think they created RTX, they knew hardware was already good enough for most players playing at 1440p or even 4k ( I run AAA games non-rtx at high 144fps ). It's the same thing with iphones, it's been diminishing returns for a couple of generations already that they are now focusing on creating new software features to justify better cameras, soc, displays... |

I build a new machine about once every 4 years for gaming/development, and I just don't really see all that much difference between the capabilities of the machine I built two generations ago (now ~9 years old) and the one I specced out last year.
I can still load up modern AAA titles on the 9 year old machine and they run just fine at 1080p 60fps with some minor tweaks to the graphics. Turns out the GTX 970 from 2014 is still more than capable.
Basically - these top end cards are a complete waste of cash for the average consumer. Hard to even claim you're future-proofing the machine with it - you're just plain wasting money.
