Welcome to AAA UE5 PC gaming in 2025, where brand new $1000+ GPUs cannot maintain 60 FPS at 1080p. (RTX 4090/5080)

Who cares? Games suck now. I have no desire to upgrade. I really need to stop being lazy and switch to Linux.

There's a Crysis for every generation

>>717814712
Crysis ran like shit but it at least looked visually spectacular for the time.

Mafia Old Country doesn't look like anything special

>looks like an 8th gen game
>plays like a 7th gen game
>runs like a 5th gen game

Wow

>>717815975
now post it on reddit

Can't wait for the Digital Cuckoldry review if they even bother to make one.

>>717814812
it ran like shit if you tried to max everything, if you dropped the settings it ran fine of the average 'gamer' pc at the time.

>>717816134
False even on low there are sections that could not be ran above like 40 fps until 12th gen intel

good thing i have g-sync to see nana's boils in 4k

>>717816120
They'll say the performance is totally justified because grass is higher resolution than it was in RDR2 or some shit like that.

>>717816193
i played it on my shitbox in 2007, all my friends played it on their shitboxes in 2007.

>>717815975
You should resize the window so there's less unused space. Makes screencaps easier to read and tidy looking :)

>>717816402
Only if the game doesn't stutter which it probably does since it's UE

Alex has been a vocal critic of UE primarily because of shader comp / traversal stutter since UE4 era

5090 is a 1080p card goy.

>>717814621 (OP)
It takes a 130IQ minimum to understand what im about to say (and predicted a decade ago) but this is why console was better, it FORCED devs to git gud whereas PC is for lazy people who can't into optimization.

Add to that PC mustard race retards that literally handed them an excuse to be even lazier with "works on my machine" and "lmao you just poor" arguments. You literal corpo cucks fanatics defended them from any criticism and this is your reward.

Yes PC can run games at high res and FPS than console, but ONLY if it was developed for console level specs in the first place. Remember when you memed on checkerboard rendering? Well fucking lmao nice one beating that with literal fake frames.
Tl;dr PC was a fat lazy spoiled child and Console was a hard working one with poor parents. Guess which one made better games?

>>717818136
>it FORCED devs to git gud whereas PC is for lazy people who can't into optimization.
the only examples of this actually being the case were from the first few generations of consoles. after that they just slaughtered draw distance and texture resolution and called it a day.

>>717818359
>admits I'm right
>about that doesn't count!

0.00 nothing has been added to your PC master race account.

meanwhile 4k edition
remember when everybody hated this engine because a bunch of incompetent bioware devs claimed it was too complicated to use

>>717818136
Retarded take Anon.
Shitty games were always made platform doesn't matter.

>>717814621 (OP)
You mean the easiest engine to use is being used by devs who can't optimize for shit? Shocking news and totally unexpected.

>>717818545
This game really doesn't like Ada GPUs, huh.

>>717814621 (OP)
actually hilarious, shit like this means im just not going to buy a new gpu

>>717814621 (OP)
Not sure why you are crying about it.
You are supposed to use DLSS and frame gen to hit those 60 mark.
30fps is more than acceptable

>>717818528
in what world are you right? in what world are videogames optimized in this day and age, for pc or console?
it was something that happened when developers actually optimized their games because they cared about what they were doing.
it had nothing to do with trying to coddle console players, go read interviews with playstation devs from the 90s who would rewrite their code in asm to get every last drop of performance out of the system.

AI will fix everything.

>>717815975
Throw this on rdrama then post that to gcj then post that back here

>>717817957
>9070xt hitting on level with the 5080
Money feeling well spent.

>>717819460
>You are supposed to use DLSS and frame gen to hit those 60 mark.
You disgust me.

>>717818545
what the fuck

>>717818545
>bogus worthless new gen suddenly gets a major boost on new game
God, you retards really deserve to get taken for a ride.

>>717818136
Console ports have always had their graphics pared down and even then ran at a lower fps than midrange gpus.

>>717817957
rx 9070xt bros we are so back

>>717819460
I remember when these were meant to help those with lesser specs run games better. Now they're expected to get a decent frame rate even with higher end hardware, because fuck optimization. Stop defending this bullshit.

>he needs more than this
How does high graphical fidelity make games more fun?

>>717817957
The 4090 is truly the 1080Ti of our generation
At this point I'm doubting we'll even get 50% uplift from a 4090 to a 6090

>>717814621 (OP)
A reminder that the 80 series has been degraded to the point where it's barely mid range.

>>717817957
>>717814621 (OP)
>1080p

Kek.
Just fucking indiscriminately Devs at this point. This is inoperable

>>717814712
Crysis looked great for a time. Modern games look worse than Batman from 10 years ago. That's the difference.

>>717822380
Lol what?
mate, that's a 1600 dollar GPU

>>717814712
Imagine comparing the launch of sputnik to a wet dogshit on the sidewalk , absolute spastic cretin tier.
Crysis was revolutionary for gamedev. Some of its features still haven't been replicated today, stuff like reactive flora.
Mafia is just modern unoptimized dogwater

>>717818713
He's right, incompetence always expands to take up the space that is given. Once you accept all games take 8 years to develop people just fuck around for 5 years before putting their heads down. Once you accept all games run like absolute dog shit and take 100gb of your harddrive people stop optimising below that point. Once you remove the lower target of consoles the lazy unoptimised shit becomes the norm.

This actually isn't about any of those things though because consoles still exist, this is purely a case of Nvidia overcharging for weak GPUs.

Have you said thank you once?

>>717822676
Unoptimized shit was always the norm.
PS4/xbone era was the anomaly.
Normalfags will keep buying trash and there is nothing we can do about it.

>>717822849
Yes but it is unoptimised shit for a calculator so when you play it on a pc it runs fine, now we are going to get unoptimised shit for a pc which wouldn't even attempt to run on a console.

When your dev team is so full of women and non-whites that not even a 5090 can run it at 1080p

>>717823224
It is still targeting cucksoles first.
They are fine with 720p 30fps.

>>717814621 (OP)
UE4 ran fantastic.
What happened?

>>717823461
Developers refuse to waste money on optimization because upscale/framegen will be enough. They are right because players don't mind, good example is latest MH game

>>717823461
No it didn't. That's where the whole stutter shit started.

>>717823610
>framegen
Framegen is fucking retarded and I hate how retards seem to think it's this brilliant and majestic way to make shortcuts in optimization or take optimization out of the picture entirely. And the players are doubly retarded for not telling them to fuck off with their framegen.

>>717823659
werks on my machine

>>717814621 (OP)
ok now show the settings

>>717823764
>gaymurrs are retarded
no shit nigga

>>717823774
UE5 also works 60 fps on 5090, so UE5 is good as well

>>717814621 (OP)
There are many games that have a setting above max that have some retarded tech that is not viable on current hardware.

>>717823764
All pro Nvidia posts are bots until proven otherwise. Similarly, AAA has crashed, no one's playing this shit.

>>717814621 (OP)
On new games? That's always been the case. New games come out and you needed newer cards to run them.

there is a crisis of competence

every single thing is spiralling downwards, I can't even buy a pastry in a bakery without some barely adult woman fucking it up

>>717814621 (OP)
This entire industry is literally going to collapse within the next 10 years

>>717823904
How do you fuck up a pastry? Did she coom on it?

>>717823764
>And the players are doubly retarded
and this is exactly why developers refuse to waste money on optimization, there is literally no reason to, players are retarded

>>717824007
one time she gave me the wrong one and another time she charged me for the bigger piece instead of the normal size and every time she's the one working she looks lost

mind you this bakery is small and there are very few products being sold I want to say 20 max and that's including several different types of bread

>>717818545
imagine comparing UE slop to a real engine

>>717819460
>you are supposed
supposed to what?
render the game sub 720p and interpolate from 30fps. This game is going to run like warm butter between your fingers.

>>717823904
>there is a crisis of competence
you are jew
there is no competence crisis
quality of service/product you receive correlate with wage
nobody in their right mind expect high quality service/product to be produced by low wage employee
yet jews like you trying to spin it into mythical "competence crisis"
>we dindu nuffin
>it's all da competence crisis
>not because we pay slave tier wages

>>717824368
you are a worthless fucking mongoloid

>>717824145
That's fucked. But you can also stop being so fat

>>717814621 (OP)
This is not meant to defend anything but FYI according to Epic for UE5 games they recommend developers target only 30 fps for Epic, but 60 fps for High. The default settings for between those two should have a pretty big performance difference.

>>717824007
nta
sellers in bakeries are cheap low iq workforce these days. Plenty are foreigners, it just takes zero skill or education, it's boring and low paying.
You can tell they are either unmotivated or just plain stupid. You can be lucky if they follow basic sanitary

>>717814621 (OP)
PC Vegans are on a whole other level of mental gymnastics while justifying those numbers on $2000 or $800 GPUs and $500 CPUs (dying from oxidation). Real Reddit x /V Valve/ Vegan PC fanboy crossover.
