software that uses excessive amounts of resources is usually poorly written and shouldn't be used in the first place, so don't worry, you're not missing out on anything important :)
The whole games industry is poorly written according to the people I knew that worked there, but this doesn't necessarily translate to needing the latest graphics card.
For decades, games were going towards foto realistic images. I've seen some interviews that now that we're basically there, art directors are favouring other types of art that are less demanding on GPU.
