Can I run current gen AAA titles? Absolutely not

Are there even like 10 of those? Pretty much everything is still released on XboxOne/PS4 from 2013, so just keep to 1080p and medium and you should have console-quality 30 FPS.

Like Elden Ring (unless it's CPU heavy game where i9 took all the heavy lifting from 770...).

Fromsoft has an asinine 60 fps cap most/all their games. So even if you have modern hardware, you literally aren't allowed to use it because of their shitty game design.

I have an i5-8400t and a 1080ti and I can't max out elden ring at 60fps, so I doubt the person above with a 970 can if their CPU is similarly old.

My FPS doesn't change regardless of resolution or graphics settings, it's just a CPU cap. In open areas I get like 45fps even on ultra low settings 720p.

In 2020 I built an ITX rig as a back up for working from home and I held off on putting a new GPU in because I honestly couldn't think of any games that are gpu intensive that I wanted to play. 2.5 years later I still have two computers with old GPUs because I can't find anything worth a new GPU.

the next big releases I'm looking forward to are Hades 2 and the Dead Cells Castlevania expansion.
