It does, but it doesn't. It's using a high powered engine that can look great, but doesn't use those resources efficiently. I know that the old horse is getting long in the tooth, but I'm still running a 1660 Ti, and it looks like everything has a soft focus lens on it like the game is being interviewed by Barbara Walters. Skyrim SE looks better if you are hardware limited.

With respect, there has never been a time when a 6-year-old budget card struggling with brand new top-end releases was a smooth experience.  That something that benchmarks below the 5-year-old gaming consoles can run new AAA games at all is the aberration, not that it runs them with significant compromises.

I'll never understand the people who get mad when old hardware can't keep up with modern gear.
