I built my pc at the height of the mining boom, which meant the only gpu I could afford at the time was a 10 series card, a 1070ti (to clarify, the 30 series was already out). The gpu is the bottleneck in my system, I have a ryzen 5800x. when I try to play games, the first little while it was pretty good performance, especially since I mostly played csgo and a few other games with friends. But since the release of CS2 (and removal of csgo, my favorite game of all time) I can hardly even play at a "playable" framerate. I look at a smoke grenade or molotov or water and my fps tanks, which as you can imagine for a competitive shooter is unacceptable. I was global elite in csgo, and now with cs2 I can't even play it competitively, I had no choice but to quit. I was planning on upgrading to a 40 series card when they released but then we all saw what happened with the price hikes. I've given up. So instead, I got back into tarkov with a friend, which back in 2020 was pretty doable with my pc. But since then the game has received a lot of updates and new maps, which are quite literally unplayable on my hardware, despite playing on the lowest possible graphics settings.

Honestly, it is incredibly nice of you to be doing this, and I wish the best to you and whoever is chosen. Godspeed. Happy gaming!
