My example would be Satisfactory. That game ran GREAT for years on my freakin’ 10-year-old 1070. It was only in 2025 that I started having some minor framerate issues in areas with a whole lot of cosmetics and machinery (which is inevitable in factory/automation genre, where the game really can’t control how much players will ask it to render). And then I had the SAME kinds of issues after upgrading to a 3080, until I switched to Linux, so really the 1070 might never have been the issue, anyway.
