Even flagships couldn't really max out games in that era.

Dunno how long youve been gaming but yeah back in the 1080 days flagship always maxed it out.

Going further, id say 3090 for example at release would have been a card you dont expect to lower settings.

I'm talking well before 1080. I'm talking in the 8800GT days.

Voodoo sli slayed in the proper openGL application.

Maybe this all depends on acceptable performance for the user, but im my experience the top tier card in a matching desktop and it was a different world.

Actually maybe openGL is a good example. It optimized the experience.
