Half-Life Alyx did that to me several years ago. Amazingly, it ran acceptably on an RX 580, but that game combined with a then-recent monitor upgrade to 1440p high refresh rate convinced me to upgrade my graphics card.

It damn well made me buy a $300 meta quest bullshit, now with Facebook logins.

The Valve Index was almost twice as much. And I just wanted to play HL Alyx.
