Well, for a practical example, my Ryzen 5 5600x and Radeon 6600xt combo is juuust out of the running for games coming out right now, I'd say. The VRAM limitations at 8GB are becoming apparent and there's been a few instances where the 5600x struggles in games that hit CPUs hard. But I'd say that's because there's been an oddly big jump in system requirements, recently.
Because devs don't optimize for PC and get away with it by listing absurd minimum requirements.

That’s what took me out of PC gaming; that and a price increase (possibly crypto related, possibly financial crash related).
Things have changed a lot.
And you’re probably right about the crypto thing; if my defection had happened in ‘10 - ‘11 due to price increases that would have been more crypto and less financial crisis. Memory blurs a little.
