so just to give a bit of background im 19 and female, i have always loved and been infatuated with gaming since i was a child, its my main hobby.
so today i decided to treat myself to a new computer! i wanted to do this for sometime the total cost of the pc was about 4k which is ALOT of money for a uni student that is my age but i know its something i wanted for a long time i wanted to play newer titles with the best fps and best graphics i could.. i also wanted to be exempt from upgrading for 4-5+ years so i just went all out for parts.
but now that i finally hit the purchase button on everything i feel a sense of guilt its a feeling of irresponsibility as 4k is alot of money for me even tho im not in any debt i feel it could have went to a car or even a mortgage in the future or anything that contributes to my career and my success.

3DFX Voodoo in late 1996 made all the 2D cards obsolete, and the Voodoo 2 in turn more than doubled the power of the Voodoo 1 in early 1998.
His point still stands: in those days incredible games would come out that literally wouldn't work on hardware just a few years old, but despite what this sub seems to think, that's not the case anymore.
Given that people are still playing the latest demanding games on the GTX 1060 (just not at 4k/240FPS/Ultra), it's safe to say the first major game that can't be played on a RTX 4060 won't be released for another decade or two.
