If you’re the kind of person who spends well over $1,000 on high-end GPUs, you probably expect a massive jump in performance across every game you play after each upgrade. I mean, that’s the whole point of splurging on something like the RTX 4090 or 5090, isn’t it? You’re not just chasing higher frame rates; you’re also expecting your games to feel smoother and more responsive, especially if you’re gaming on a 240Hz or 360Hz monitor. But if you’ve ever upgraded your GPU only to be underwhelmed by the FPS uplift, you’re not alone.
