Yeah I went and looked and my current PC was bought in Jan 2019 -- six years old. The explosive growth in graphics has calmed down significantly too so there's no PC game this machine hasn't been able to decently handle. Used to be you pretty well needed a new machine or a sizable upgrade every 4 years to keep up.
I was thinking of updating the graphics card to see if it made VR games more playable. Allegedly the 2080 should be good enough but the couple things I tried didn't run well, though I also didn't spend much time trying to tweak them. If I really itch for a graphics card I guess I can get on the mailing list! The nvidia site sent me to Micro Center but they won't ship it. In store pickup only. Nothing in stock. Sign up for the waiting list. Meh!
