I do love games, but most of what I do at my computer is maker projects. CAD, 3d printing, electronics design, coding. Lately I’ve been building a puzzle box for my niece’s birthday.
Interestingly, I did upgrade my GPU a year and a half or so ago (to a used 3070, I’m not made of money) and since then the main thing I’ve used that GPU for is actually AI experiments rather than games. E.g. for the puzzle box, I got Stable Diffusion to generate images for a puzzle for me. It’s four images, and when you combine them in the right way they reveal a fifth image. I don’t think I could have done the same puzzle without AI.
I do still play games, though. I’m just kind of off the big budget stuff these days.
