Another possible explanation, which I'm surprised the author didn't go through is the "Circle of Fifths" which basically says: Since Fifths sound so great, why not just keep doing that? When we get to the next octave, t

In totally the same boat! My daily driver home machine is an i5-760 (Released in 2010!) with a GTX 1060, and it works GREAT. I play lots of RTS-like games in 4K via Steam (Stellaris, Civ, Timberborn, Factorio, Valheim, etc) and there'
