I agreed with you in the first half but the rest makes no sense and leads me to believe you aren't aware that most games come with graphics settings. You don't need a $1000 GPU to play 99% of new games...my PC hasn't had a current-gen video card in like 15 years and I've never run into a game I couldn't play with reasonable FPS.

There is absolutely no point in making graphics more photorealistic than maybe Skyrim.

Just because you don't appreciate an aspect of art doesn't mean there is "no point" to it. Graphics come second to gameplay, of course, but do you really not see the appeal in visual realism in games? I was wowed by the ray tracing in Control and it really added to the immersion for me
