Shout out to Hardware TnL 2.0 feature rendering older cards like the Nvidia Riva TNT2 useless for most games it would have otherwise run fine, like KOTOR. Extra shout out to Max Payne 2 for supporting software TnL at a time when most games did not, preserving the longevity of that card.
That goes to show, that the last ~decade from 2011/12 to 2021/22 has been an outlier in that regard. It used to be that every 4/5 years there was a paradigm change that left any non-recent hardware completely behind, but in 2022 you had people running Elden Ring in almost 8 year old 970s. So I can’t help but find this recent development in requirements acceptable… It has been due for quite a bit of time.
