> I have a 2019 RX5700 XT

So you have very old hardware, can barely play modern AAA games (if ever), and are still happy. Good for you.

But your opinion is relevant to average gamer who enjoys playing games released in current year in the same way that someone drinking instant coffee can advise on coffee beens that it's all just caffeine in the end.

Which games will not run on a 5700xt? I’ve played a load of latest release games on a steam deck which is like 15% of the power of that GPU.
Not a power issue but a feature issue. No ray tracing stops Indiana Jones and Doom Dark Ages (though you can do it in software on Linux): https://youtu.be/aU2qwlCLWm8 . Doom Dark Ages also added a check for Vulkan Variable Rate Shading, requiring a workaround to spoof it. Mesh shader requirement prevents Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth from running.
