If you want games to continue to push the boundaries of photo-realism (which this game very much does, even on low), something’s gotta give.
Remember when every 2 or 3 years we’d get games on entirely revamped dx or opengl featuresets that required new cards?
The fact we’re getting 4-8 years out of a GPU these days is incredible for the consumer even if it is a sign of overall stagnation (where is DX13, Microsoft?)
Ever since the consoles moved to x86, as well, and every PC port became based on trivial one-click ports from console builds, it’s become super easy to just build a baseline gaming PC based on hardware that is equivalent to console, and spending more is “nice” but completely non-requisite. You’ll note that a 3700X+6700XT build has no problems with this game, and can be built affordably now.
