Yet many people are happy with the Steam Deck which has a roughly equivalent GPU[0]
>The Steam Deck GPU is based on hardware that is difficult to compare to typical PC video cards. However, the GPU’s maximum throughput of around 1.6 teraflops makes it loosely equivalent in power to an Nvidia GTX 1050 or GTX 950.
No True Scotsman aside, people can game how they choose. The bottom line is that many people are running new, AAA games on this tier of GPU. Is it the best possible fidelity? No, but presumably it is enough for them to derive some enjoyment.
