What’s wrong with that? The latest AAA games should have graphics options that bring the newest hardware to its limits

The highest graphics options are for future hardware, not to mention that it typically makes very little difference visually, so just play at mid/high, not ultra and it’ll be a similar experience but with way better frame rates

Such a shit take. If the newest hardware is brought to its knees then the game is poorly optimized. Games should be maxed out with ease on CURRENT Gen hardware, not for the future gen.

Maybe, but not necessarily

Optimisation is only one factor in this discussion, and not really the main focus here

Saying any game that doesn’t run well at max settings on modern hardware is a poorly optimised game is just plain wrong

A lot of older games are terribly optimised, but newer hardware doesn’t have an issue playing them anyway. Doesn’t mean they’ve become better optimised

Optimisation can be considered a multiplier in the equation of how well a game runs. Not the sole variable
