Let's talk about how two of today's most popular GPUs, the RTX 5070 and RX 9070 XT perform on REGULAR mid-tier processors going back 7 YEARS. That includes scaling of CPUs going back to the i5-9600K and Ryzen 5 2600X. Because let's be honest, these are the Intel 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th gen along with Ryzen 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 series that people are probably using. NOT the most highest CPU
