I wish there was more backlash about this.
Some of tech YouTubers like Linus Tech Tip mention the power usage, but meme about it.

I mean it used to be true that future proofing could be good if you were building a brand new rig. I built mine for about 1500 almost 10 years ago now and it still runs most things on max settings, even gets close on RDR2 but I have to back off some of the more intense settings. Things have slowed down so much now though that it likely won't matter.
I think people buy a GPU and expect it to last at least one console gen, the expectations for this one is driving games with ray tracing, 4K and maybe 120fps if possible, which is quite a leap from last gen, hardware-wise at least.
Yeah raytracing is cool but what I meant is that going forward I don't think future proofing will be really possible since there aren't going to be many leaps forward that don't include major hardware innovations that we cannot foresee.
