I have a GTX 1660S and it runs all games just fine. This 4 year old card is still good. Nvidia desperately needed something else to keep selling fridges and they found AI.

Mind you, this is very different from the 2000s where I often had to buy a new GPU to play the latest games. Which often meant buying a new mainboard because the expansion slot format changed. Anyone remember VESA local?

OK, I just saw on Wikipedia that VESA local was very short-lived (from 1993 - 1995). So we have ISA - VESA local - PCI - AGP - PCI Express.
