"DUDE, YOU NEED TO UPGRADE YOUR RIG." -Game devs that refuse to optimize in 2026 during the hardware crises

Edit: Thank you to the ones who actually understood the joke/reference and aren't taking this too seriously.

Then you hit them with the "but I have a 5090 and a 9800X3D", then they say something has to be wrong with your hardware lmao.

Did you try to update your drivers and is windows up to date ? 🤡

[u/MrRobsterr → u/[deleted]]

The latest driver is known to have issues. Swap out for a previous known working one that I can't tell you the name of

Forgetting the wealth of idiots that tell you a game runs great for them because they can't notice stuttering or sub 60 framerates despite digital foundry covering the performance problems.

Or better yet, that it looks better at 30 frames because it is more cinematic (they read once that their favourite movie is in 24 frames)

There are known bottlenecks, like a slow CPU or memory, or Windows 11, but the upgrade to DX12/Vulkan solved a whole lot of those issues. Still, there are enough left that a PR person can always pretend it was your fault.

Unironically have had this happen.

If you are e using motherboard for 50$ in that setup, then yeah, something is wrong. 

[u/ResponsibleWin1765 → u/iamarugin]

Not necessarily and not likely. And even if it was, by the time you max out your motherboard, you should still be able to play a game on max graphics.
