Discussion Should developers stop making games that require 5090 for max settings now that the card is clearly not for gamers and is accessible to 0.1% of community?

I get that the games need better hardware to dun better, but who are they really making the game for if you need a 6000$ GPU at this point

To be fair native 4K 60fps is a damn task, most games require serious hardware for that

Right?

Plus as far as I'm concerned, 4K native just isn't necessary. I play almost exclusively 4K with DLSS Performance.

I also play a lot of games with 4K DLSS Performance and that with a 5090. I prefer the higher framerates and visually you see mostly no difference to Quality or even DLAA with DLSS 4 and above.

Same 100% of games using DLSS, it’s a great tech
