It might be better to just get a PS5 Pro in my case.

I am not even joking, that's where I am right now with gaming in 2026.

Hardware kind of hit the end of Moore's law back in 2020. None of the modern day CPUs or GPUs are even that much better, and the ones that are "better" are only because the dies are bigger, meaning you're just paying for more transistors rather than better transistors, so they draw more power and get way hotter. A lot of the recent "upgrades" in Nvidia GPUs are software/driver upgrades that could in principle run on a 3000 series card just fine but they lock them behind 5000 series to force you to buy it, but that also means if you really want/need fake frames for some reason there are third-party software options that run on any GPU like Lossless Scaling. You can still pick up a 12GB 3060 for $250 on eBay, and even as low as $200 if you're patient to snipe an auction, and it can still play AAA games like Black Myth Wukong.

tbh I do not know as I do not own any AMD GPUs outside of an RX580 and RX480.
