Even so, the "AAA" titles will run absolutely fine on a far more budget system. There's a reason why GPU reviews hardly include 1080p results - it's not very relevant seeing 400-600 FPS in a graph.Most people have a 1080p or at most a 1440p panel, those will be driven just fine at 60+ FPS on 2-300$ cards at medium-high settings and will continue to do so for years to come.

As for most games I have on my "want to play" list, they're something that hardly make my 5700 XT break a sweat. One of those games I've been playing is literally built on the Quake engine, yes not even the Q3 engine, the first one.
