They’re not. Steam survey has 4K monitors at under 4%. Well over half are at 1080p and below. There’s exactly 1 GPU in the top 10 above the nVidia x060 series.
The way things get reviewed, you’d think 4K was a minimum. I suspect the majority of high end cards out there aren’t even used for gaming.
After I posted I was reminded that it’s still common in FPS games to brick the graphics so there’s less hiding spots. But also my graphics card is like 7 years old and runs everything I’ve come across except Star Citizen. (Which is its own whole level of fuckery)
