This is a bit topical for me. Game performance seems to be a real problem as of late... It’s not uncommon for me to play “retro” games that run poorly on my 4-series Nvidia gpu. Not a game developer myself but this is definitely still a problem in 2025.

Yes, same experience. I recently played a "Wolfenstein" clone that frequently dipped into the the 30-60 fps range on my 3080. The original Wolfenstein used to run on a 386 if I'm not mistaken.
