That is only there if you geek out about it. For a casual gamer, all of that doesn’t exist. You’re buying as nice “gaming PC” as your budget permits, you’re pressing “auto” in the settings, and you enjoy whatever picture and/or whatever framerate you paid for. For some years, most of the games run smoothly, then most of the new ones don’t look and feel great anymore, so you either buy a new computer, or play older games. It’s basically the same with the generations of consoles, it’s just if the game isn’t for your “generation”, on console you don’t get to downgrate the picture quality and try anyway.
