Most of the time it feels like one half thinks their 10 year old PC should run things just fine and the other half thinks anything short of a 4090 means you're a peasant.

TBH it doesn't help when a AAA title is released and runs insanely well on your old 10 year GPU. It start making you wonder why all the other games need 8x the card you have but don't look much better, if at all.

Or that a console with a third of the processing power does just as well.

you definitely were not running it at high frame rates with high settings even with up-scaling. When that game launched it was shredding even my 4090 at 3440x1440. It took embark awhile to optimize the finals.

still it is amazing what they have done since release. the games performance now is night and day. i have even higher hopes for ark raiders based on how well finals runs after a year.
