Yea that dev made a pretty terrible port. Even with their stutter fix patch, the game still has plenty (granted a lot less than before) from what I have seen on Twitter. They ain't getting my money till discounted.

Is this their first ever AAA-style game?, I've not really heard much from this studio before, but if this is their first attempt, it's a rpetty terrible one. I imagine they won't sell too well going by the quick burn of their rep and the overall game perf being bad. 

I know Steam reviews are climbing back up to positive, but tbh I lost trust in ppl reviewing shit on Steam some yrs ago (primarily thanks to shills and meme reviewer types with anime pfp's, no offence to anyone here), so them giving positive reviews despite benchmarks stating the opposite just tells me that ppl are okay with getting kicked in the balls and paying for it. 

1080ti tho, like god damn that is just friggin sad to see in the benchmarks lol. I say this and I'm getting bogged down perf with WoW atm, but that's mostly down to Blizz not doing their job and Nvidia drivers once again dicking us around (checked to confirm this on Reddit/WoW forums and Sept nvidia drivers give us better perf, so that's on nvidia on their end for that, getting pretty sloppy with their drivers).

More or less. It's filled with some of the developers from the Dead Space team that EA nuked. Realistically, the only version that came out good was the PS5. Series X version also had big issues and even Series S was underwhelming. PC had the most issues which are getting fixed but there's a lot of things to fix.

And yea, I suspect pre-Turing GPUs to continue to struggle. Those GPUs were legendary but they don't support the full DX12 Ultimate feature set so they won't age too well as we continue to leave cross-gen. Hell judging by Star Wars PC requirements, RDNA 2 will also age poorly as its the first UE5 title and the recommended is a 2070 or 6700XT. For better or for worse, Nvidia has a pretty big grasp on where the industry is headed even if they don't control the console hardware. It's why we see RDNA 3 trying to be more like Ampere/Lovelace rather than following in RDNA 2's footsteps.

I think if you wait until 5000 series, assuming we don't get a mining boom, the prices will hopefully come back to normal. A lot of the things are coming back down in price around the world and if people continue to not buy GPUs at their high prices as is the case with the 4080, then Nvidia will have no choice but to lower their prices in the future. That and Nvidia is going back to Samsung means we should see another Ampere situation. Lets just hope it's without the mining boom.
