    Edit: Here’s another comment I made with links and more information on why this is going to be more common going forward. There’s a very real and technical reason for using these new rendering strategies and it’s why we’ll start seeing more and more games require at least an RTX series card.


    You’re misunderstanding the issue. As much as “RTX OFF, RTX ON” is a meme, the RTX series of cards genuinely introduced improvements to rendering techniques that were previously impossible to pull-off with acceptable performance, and more and more games are making use of them.

    Alan Wake 2 is a great example of this. The game runs like ass on 1080tis on low because the 1080ti is physically incapable of performing the kind of rendering instructions they’re using without a massive performance hit. Meanwhile, the RTX 2000 series cards are perfectly capable of doing it. Digital Foundry’s Alan Wake 2 review goes a bit more in depth about it, it’s worth a watch.

    If you aren’t going to play anything that came out after 2023, you’re probably going to be fine with a 1080ti, because it was a great card, but we’re definitely hitting the point where technology is moving to different rendering standards that it doesn’t handle as well.

      So here’s two links about Alan Wake 2.

      First, on a 1080ti: https://youtu.be/IShSQQxjoNk?si=E2NRiIxz54VAHStn

      And then on a Rog Aly (which I picked because it’s a little more powerful than the current Steam Deck, and runs native Windows): https://youtu.be/hMV4b605c2o?si=1ijy_RDUMKwXKQQH

      The Rog seems to be doing a little better, but not by much. They’re both hitting sub 30fps at 720p.

      My point is that if that kind of handheld hardware becomes typical, combined with the economic problems of continuing to make highly detailed games, then Alan Wake 2 is going to be an abberation. The industry could easily pull back on that, and I welcome it. The push for higher and higher detail has not resulted in good games.

      I suspect that’s the exception and will be for most games.
