Maybe it’s just my CPU or something wrong with my setup, but i feel like new games (especially ones that run on Unreal Engine 5) really kick my computers ass at 1440p. Just got the 7900xtx last year and using a ryzen 9 3900xt i got from 2020 for reference. I remember getting new cards like 10 years ago and being able to crank the settings up to max with no worries, but nowadays I feel I gotta worry about lowering settings or having to resort to using upscaling or frame generation.

Games dont feel very optimized anymore, so I can see why people might be upgrading more frequently thinking it’s just their pc being weak. I miss the days where we could just play games in native resolution.

I hope this helps give Linux some love. Been using Bazzite and it seems to do the job pretty well.
