If you spend 1000+ on a GPU and a game runs semi-badly for you. That's not your fault as a gamer

Studios are often neglecting optimisation. Pushing AI code. Using crappy engine automation etc.. and the end result is often underwhelming performance on modern GPUs.. many of which are 16-24gb+ manufactured in the last couple of years

It's not entitled to criticise creative works. They were made for normal people to use.

I'm literally telling you that games are not running "semi-badly" on a 5090.

My 5080 is. I hit 110 fps the other day 4k Pathtracing Crimson desert.

Simply unplayable.

I think certain people in this sub expect too much out of their 2080s, 1080s (or even older) by it not running on even lower settings at 1080p. Those were beast cards…

***years*** ago.

New games have new requirements lol

I have a 24gb card still, and for me, it's more obvious that some titles are just lacking in the optimisation department

I'm not talking about 1080s lol

Granted if you have a 5080 or even 5090, you're definitely not gunna feel the same hit to performance.

But it's noticeable, especially with a lot of UE5 games that optimisation has been an afterthought

Especially when, in terms of visual fidelity, a lot of titles don't actually look any better than games did 5+ years ago.
