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.
In the case of AW2 I think it’s more of a case of diminishing returns, like say you can look at the difference between 99% and 99.9% realistic as just a 0.9% improvement, or you can look at it as a reduction from 1% to 0.1% non-realistic, where the difference there is an order of magnitude.
