A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

First you state I'm "absolutely incorrect" then you repeat and confirm what I said:
This seems awfully close to the "at least on high" in my comment, so what is the problem with my statement?
I also purposely kept it relative and vague, because personal preferences differ wildly on what is meant by "I can run xxx", which you've basically doubled down on. I specifically do NOT expect 100fps in a triple-A on maxed out settings with ray tracing, and I thought that much was clear. But I can get to 100fps, with somewhat reduced settings, if that's a game where I'd need that. To be specific this time: my general target is usually around 60fps for more visual titles, but it can dip a bit below in busy/dense/hectic areas. It also shouldn't leave the 50s for significant amounts of time though.
That all being said, I also only rarely actually play AAA games. But I do play some indie games that are more on the demanding side, but then there's most games I play that should run in a toaster... Which is another reason I never upgraded. It's all still good enough.
