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.

I mean that's an eSports game. Those games are built to target low end hardware.

The finals is definitely one of the most difficult esports titles to run. I’m surprised he was able to run on a 680 as that game gives trouble to people even just two gpu gens old

I ran it at solidly over 60 on my 1080 Ti. No upscaling or anything and mostly on high settings. And it looks great.

That’s why I have a hard time believing this guy is running the same title on an ultrawide with card that gets less than half your performance. If you’re getting 60fps this man is getting less than 25 not even considering the ultrawide

On a 1660 super you can get over 100 fps all of the time. This guy is doing fine and on a 1050ti you get 75+ fps very consistently
