    AI did a number to gaming, but truthfully, gaming technology was probably about to stand still anyway. Barely any studios can afford to make a game that’s so technologically advanced that it pushes our current hardware to its limits.

      Oh please, plenty of games push my top tier hardware to its limits!

      It’s just that they do it by not bothering to optimize their software.

        Yet AI will actually be good at optimizing software, and might help push devs to do so. Both stifling and assisting.

      And the GPU makers were already approaching a plateau around the first RTX cards.

      Node shrinks have dried up. Gamers got use to those handing them major leaps.

      Gaming isn‘t standing still though, it‘s reverting. You can‘t get the same hardware you got 5 years ago for the same price anymore. Hardware ALWAYS got cheaper until recently. This is truly unprecedented.
