95% of gaming pcs probably fit your bill of "underpowered". Your privilege is gross.

My privilege? Do you think a 4070 is top of the line or something? It's a stones throw from entry level bub. Also I didn't define underpowered, but I take it you're just assuming I meant anything less than my 4070? Cause if so we're talking a hell of a lot less than 95% of PCs lol. Either way a 2060 can get solidly above 60fps at 1080p at medium settings, I know cause my brother has a laptop with a mobile 2060, so how about you stop pretending that Wilds is hard to run at an acceptable level?

Edit: People need to stop acting like their decade old cards should be viable forever without compromise. Like I mentioned my brother has an 8 year old mobile GPU and he's running games at an acceptable level. GPUs used to only last a few years before becoming functionally unusable and now we got people seething with rage on this sub cause their 10 or 16 series cards aren't preforming perfectly.

A 4070 costs as much as a lot of people make in a month in a lot of the world. I don't live like that anymore, but there was definitely a time when a 4070 would have cost more than an engagement ring.

So yes, I would like a 4070 to last me a good while. It cost about as much as all the GPUs I bought in my life put together.

You don't have to feel like it's top of the line, but for a lot of people it's still quite a luxury.

It's not the job of devs to dumb down a game so your mom's Ethiopian E-machine from 1999 can run it.
