I play on a gaming laptop and always have to go into settings to get decent performance (i7 8750h, GTX 1060) out of bigger games. Elite Dangerous I have to change settings while playing depending on whether I meet up with other people. Train Simulator I have to change settings based on the track / area. Forza Horizon 4 works better with CPU boost disabled, while train sim needs the boost or stutters very badly when loading the next chunk of data. Forza Horizon won't work with a DS4 controller, Ori does mostly but still better with 360 pad. Need I go on.

Have you tried the Geforce Experience auto-settings? And more and more PC games offer optional dynamic performance settings... that trend will increase in the next years.

PCs can't make tailor made games for fast storage since it still has to work from HDD. Consoles can balance everything perfectly, just look at HZDs woeful port to PC. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2020-horizon-zero-dawn-pc-tech-review When consoles start optimizing for SSD porting to PC is only going to get harder, or they'll simply require more and more ram to compensate.

Why do you think that new PC games can't or won't add SSDs to the minimum requirements for games which will profit from that immensely?
