My ps5 is ready
My wallet isn't
Only one of those I care about.
Just drop the game already guys

I've been waiting to replace my ol' trusty clunker PC for this exact game. Baby had a good run since 2012, being constantly modified and upgraded <3

How does this performance on mid range hardware? Can it run at a stable 60fps 1%lows, without the use of upscaling or fg, at decreased graphics settings (medium)?

I think they'll answer that closer to release. Try again late next year. All hype at this point!

whats wrong with using upscaling? games have been using some form of upscaling since the 360 era, developers arent going to waste performance on rendering more pixels when most players don't care about it and would rather have that performance be used for other aspects like density and lighting.

gkirmathal.bsky.social•7 days ago

Nothing wrong it perse. IMO usefull for 2kUW (use it on my 6700xt) and 4k/8k if the GPU doesn't cut it on some gfx setting. But for FHD/QHD, it IMO should not be required to get a product stable at 60 fps on current mid range GPUs to run high/FHD or high/QHD. Then I'm not even touching VRAM issue.

well devs are going to do what most players want and most players dont care about how many pixels are actually being rendered, they want denser environments, better lighting, etc, and devs are going to make that tradeoff, give up some resolution and use that performance to enhance other aspects.

gkirmathal.bsky.social•7 days ago

Like I said very useful if a GPU doesn't cut it and a user wants to maintain a graphical fidelity&settings that are GPU heavy, like what you mention. What I mean is this should "not be mandatory", on lower graphical settings, to get playable (60) fps or stay within a lower VRAM budget. Call me old.

Just to add for clarification: and on lower resolutions 1080p.

deejdev.bsky.social•7 days ago

require upscaling.

6700xt is on par with console hardware, a bit faster, base consoles are similar to a 6700 non-xt, but around the same performance tier.

deejdev.bsky.social•7 days ago

Lower settings on PC is what consoles tend to run games at.

If the devs made the tradeoff with the resolution, to get the extra performance budget to be able to run those settings on a console-

then running similar settings on PC with hardware that has similar performance to consoles would also-

The forest looks incredible. So cool to learn about the tech behind it!
