sounds like I'll have a great time with this in 10 years when I do my next upgrade.

When was your last upgrade? Curious for context.
Mine was jan 2020. 2070 super will not cut it for this game, likely, since cyberpunk2077 with ray tracing makes my 3880x1440 monitor cry ~14-24 FPS.
I did an upgrade last year. Not really sure what I upgraded to because it doesn't matter.
I would still be using an fx9590 with a gtx970 if stability issues weren't driving me up the wall, because it otherwise ran everything I cared about just fine.
However, the reality is that most gamers are now using gear that has some ray-tracing capability.
Sure, plenty, and I'm still going to hard-pass any idiot game that forces raytracing or upscaling. Find something actually useful to do with the power available, instead of something that worthless and computationally wasteful, or don't and run at lower power. That's more valuable than raytracing.
