Everything after roughly Half Life 2 doesn't look meaningfully different on low settings than on high. There's a bit of quality uptick a few years after it, but then it's mostly squandering GPU resources on raytracing the fish underwater in the distance to do a bit of hyperbole.
The threshold here is a lot more modern than that. I've not played Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 but it's released last year, touted for it's visuals and the minimum req. is an NVIDIA 1060, that's gonna be a decade old at this point. And that's if you want to play current a current release AAA (I know it's not) title.
