In other games not using advanced current gen featuresets, the 5700XT performs equal to the RTX 3060 or 2070 Super.
So yeah, while it starts, it’s basically unplayable on this card. Turing, RDNA1’s older competitor, is still going strong.
It also has significantly more stutters. Possibly shader compilation stutters.
No expert but Mesh shaders reduce this significantly?
could just be choking on geoemtry work that is intuitive with mesh shaders but complex with fixed function.
