Why are graphics cards becoming more and more powerful and why do you need to upgrade?
Why, for example, do you get fewer FPS with a GTX 970 than with an RTX 4070, even though you're still playing games at 1080p? The resolution remains the same…

What has not yet been addressed are the games that are becoming more and more complicated, a world formerly consisted of, for example, 20 million polygons are today 200 million, logically the old graphics cards do not participate.
For many years, both Nvidia and AMD have been able to perform their performance, and even new Intel's mixing with about 25 to 30% is constantly increasing by generation, where AMD and Intel, on both sides, are once again technologically pushed to new boundaries.
The current dimensions for ~ 50 to 60 FPS @ 1080p are currently approximately AMD Ryzen 7-3700(X) + AMD Radeon RX 6700 to 6800X in the consoles for cost-effective "cross-platform development".
In itself, however, games are becoming more and more complicated in their development, with which it now takes real years for a market-ready AAA title to release in advance compared to earlier.
Otherwise, a GeForce RTX 3700 similar to the Radeon RX 6700 on the console base also ensures similar performance in FHD.
If you want higher resolutions, you can also go to WQHD with more powerful graphics cards without significant FPS loss compared to the base, or even now with guaranteed 60 FPS also go to UHD in the resolution. The latter was still virtually unthinkable in gaming a few years ago.
The CPU itself is usually relatively wumpe, whether you like GTA V from 2015 at the time with 60 FPS in max. Preset @ 1080p played with a GTX 980 + Core i7-7700K, or today in 4K at an RTX 2080TI at the same settings with the same CPU substructure.
The multi-working for the additional pixels on the screen also has to do the graphics card for GTA V.
For example, MSFS 2020 would be an opposite example of GTA V with all physics. Here you will find all graphic details + max. Physics with an i7-7700K + GTX 980 in FHD not even as high in the FPS as with an i5-12600K + RTX 3080 in direct platform comparison within THIS games.
Gaming basic routines in mutual dependence on each other are still not as easily parallelizable as before on a CPU basis as the high scaling after a graphics processor supplied by the CPU.

The resolution remains the same, but the image repetition frequency becomes faster (FPS) this gives a more liquid image in the movement and the GTX 970 could just less FPS, and if you now use a monitor with more than 50~60 KHertz, we say 120~144 KH… which can also give more FPS and thus promises a better gaming experience, especially in case of more rapid games like car racing or even action. But it is basically compare apples with pears, because the FPS and the dissolution are just 2 different pairs of shoes.
Image size, pixels (HD) and image recovery rate (FPS)
the graphics cards are getting better because you want more and more
and the games also develop to take advantage of the better graphics cards, then the older graphics cards are a disadvantage
(even if the resolution remains the same, more energy-consuming features such as e.g. ray tracing could be used)
But the resolution has been standard FULL HD since 2005
Resolution is not the same graphic quality
more energy-intensive features such as ray tracing
They don't care how old processors are outdated, they only care about the best processors
Example Radeon RX 6600 – official launch: October 13th 2021. What went to Ultra in Full HD at the time with 120 FPS runs up today with a maximum of 60 FPS. That's sad.
Don't blame me, but you obviously have no idea about PCs. PCs do not have to be upgraded every 3 years, which is much longer. From that it makes a difference whether you want normal graphics or if you want to get everything out. And the advantages over consoles I will not mention here that would blow the frame there is a lot
the producers get more money
What's so great about PCs when I get every 3rd. Do you need to renew a new graphics card, processor and motherboard? A console has a life cycle of 6 to 7 years
I don't need it. Nevertheless, with the RTX 4070 without ray tracing, more FPS is achieved, although the resolution is not changed
Because computers are becoming more and more powerful through technological progress. And then older systems can't stop at some point.
But the resolutions do not change at this rapid speed. Since 2007 Full HD has been the most common standard for both gaming and TV programs
