For me, it's all the NON-Console games where you "need" all the power you can get. I'm only playing on 1080p (need new monitor), but I max everything out and like to play many CPU intensive games as well as GPU intensive. And to get higher-than 60 FPS you need quite a punch.

RTS games, upcoming Open-Worlders (Cyberpunk 2077), these are going to take a lot of power. THOUGH, we do see amazing things with highly optimized games on ANY platform. That goes without saying.

GTX 1080ti
Ryzen 7 (1700), though I would rather fork out the extra cash and go with Intel next time, until Devs really
support additional core-usage in a meaningful way across the board.

only someone who don't really know the difference between 30FPS and +60FPS would say that

what futuremark and tech demos has to do with your experience of the difference between 30FPS and +60FPS?

What's the point of power when the developers decide to lock the game at 30FPS and sometimes with frame pacing issue?

I have Dark Souls 3 on both PC and PS4 with some tweaks I can run it @ 60FPS without the frame pacing issue of PS4 version and the graphics quality looks very similar

MGSV GZ run @60FPS on PS4 but on my PC I can enable some lighting effects disabled on PS4 version and still maintain stable 60FPS

that's on GTX 750Ti which is considered weaker than PS4

you're a graphics guy
you just buy games to see how good it looks
you proved that to me when you mentioned you used futuremark and download tech demos
I don't have anything against that
just don't try to make a point on something you don't have experience on it
