I don't play any AAA games really. The only "AAA" game I've played in the past few years is basically Baldurs Gate 3 and Kingdom Come Deliverance II. But mostly I play rpgs and strategy games that don't require much gpu power at all.

VR games inhale ram. This avoidance of putting any valuable amount of ram in graphics cards is a serious and consistent problem for larger VR games.

There are niches like sim racing which require a high powered GPU if you want to run ultrawide or triple screens though.

Just saying that your grudges with AAA games have a blast effect you might not be aware of.

I don't care about AAA gaming either, it's stale but one day the AI bubble will kill something you cry about though.
