I did this to myself because I only played games that my gpu could perform and that was the reason why pretty much all of the games I play are pre 2010.

Don't remember which one I had at the time, but it barely played angry birds and my current one is an rx580.

Ah okay. Asking as my 1080 is still playing anything I want even though it’s 10+(?) years old

I mean I get like 40 fps in cs2 with all low and fsr on performance but on 1440p lowering to 1080 imoroved itby about 5 fps, I tested it with an another rx 580 and it is the same.

Same with my 1070. He’ll, even my wife’s 970 is running strong. Can either of them play at max? Unlikely. But my wife is able to play just about anything, if at the lowest setting.

The 1080 was a factory freak. I used mine forever, I want to say from a 2015 build as well.
