I've found that if you're still cool with 1080p (I am), most games run fine on old hardware. For now, at least.

It's Starfield I'm worried about. My system is below minimum specs. Helluva time to upgrade too

Uh oh. I just checked, and I'm below too.

I still used a R9 270X a few weeks ago...

I have the opposite problem. I have a decent card, but I only enjoy old and indie games, so I end up mining with it just because I feel bad about not needing it.
