I haven’t really paid attention to new hardware, but now I’m curious. There are those insane NVIDIA RTX cards like the 4090 which have amazing performance with AI and all that shit. But why do so many people buy them? I have a 1060 and it still runs everything I want it to, never broke down, etc. Sure, there are some games which it doesn’t play at 100 fps, but I never really felt the need to replace it. Maybe I don’t play truly demanding games, I don’t know. Maybe when I finally upgrade I’ll truly notice the difference.

Anyways, why do so many people buy these new expensive cards if the old ones seem fine? I even have a friend with the newer 1650 and it seems to run worse than mine.

Should I think about upgrading or should I keep it?
