   @valpackett but anyway that's not really the point, the point is that in '98 a gaming gpu was made on like 0.5um process node, required no additional headsink, and consumed probably like 15 watts at its peak

   since then, we've been doing so much shrinking, yet gpus get bigger and bigger and more gross

   i could blame nvidia for starting this trend around geforce 8000 series but the industry as a whole is guilty

     @valpackett you don't need a particularly good gpu for any of these, prey 2017 is great (one of the 5 or so major-studio games of the last 10 years that i really found worth playing) but it's basically just system shock, doom reboots are well known for being fairly light on hardware requirements but also i don't really care much for them gameplay-wise
