As a PC gamer with a low budget, optimization is always important when I decide if I want to give a game a try. While we have some companies that definitely don't care about people with low-mid end hardware, there are quite a few games that can run even on modest RIGs.
Here I will post some good examples that I can remember, and have tried it myself:
RESIDENT EVIL: REQUIEM
Resident Evil 9 is most likely the biggest achievement of this year when it comes to games with modern day visuals and great performance. This game runs fine on hardware as low-end as 4GB of VRAM. Also, if you got an RTX, playing it with Ray Tracing on high settings is very easy. Path Tracing is another story, but if you don't care about filling it with AI Upscaling, there should be no problem at all.
PRAGMATA
Another triumph from Capcom, PRAGMATA delivers one of the most impressive titles when it comes to visuals, and just like Requiem, it's quite mild on requirements. You can enjoy the futuristic graphics of this adventure with Ray Tracing on literally any RTX, even without DLSS. Like the previous game, there are quite a lot of options for low-end machines. Things only get better if you have a stronger GPU, with many texture options.
STAR WARS: GALACTIC RACER
The Newest Star Wars game has only one main requirement: You need an RTX to play it, since Ray Tracing is mandatory. But the good part? Any compatible GPU will do the trick. Even with a 6GB RTX, you can enjoy the fast paced racing on high settings at 1080p, no upscaling needed. To be honest, I was quite surprised when I first played it.
Do you know other examples?
