DLSS and Graphical settings.

There is always something more powerful and better, and it does not mean that games from 2013 should run like this on CPU from 2020 when ALL, OTHER, GAMES, RUN, PERFECTLY. All I hear from you is justification from the victim of marketing.
Honestly, like talking to a wall.

While possessing impressive multi core performance, Threadripper of that era has middling at best single core performance compared even to CPUs of its own generation due to lower clock speeds. I's expect modern Ryzen to have nearly double the single core performance (unverified, only suspected, not checking benches right now MSQ to do) which, by the way is what XIV likes. It does NOT multi thread well. When one is CPU bound as you are no reduction in graphical settings will make any difference in performance whatsoever.

He clearly doesn't understand this. No amount of talking sense to him will reason him out of the position that he didn't reason himself into.
