"Just put everything on Medium-High"
Me 2019
It can still look good on those settings, even better than on consoles. I don't understand why people have to put everything on ultra on midrange hardware or it's a bust.
You can also look at it from the perspective that if you revisit it in a year, or maybe two. It still looks great because you can upscale the settings. However, i'm not excusing games that run poor whilst looking sub-par or like shit, even.
@@The_Noticer. it's mostly to prove to oneself that your hardware is holding up and doesn't need upgrading soon I believe as far as wanting to get ultra settings.. I've been playing this on 1440p with ultra/high settings and haven't noticed much slowdown with a 2600x and 1070 sc GPU with 16 GB ram. Pretty happy with how it runs especially compared to trying to play evil within 2 at the same time with tons of stuttering. But I'd be happy playing at medium/high but in the back of my head I'd be thinking about a new GPU soon lol
I never run games maxed out because devs put effects in games I don't like.
Motion blur, DoF, bloom, lens effects, poor anti-aliasing.
@@Liamlucid Don't forget Chromatic Aberration
@Melvin Frazier The dynamic resolution (even though it's kinda inconsistent) might have helped. And Vulkan is one impressive piece of work.
Hey Digital Foundry. Can you check the grapical downgrade in Red Dead Redemption 2? In 1.00 patch the lighting by Valentine General Store looks better than in 1.09 patch. And im not sure the Ambient Occlusion and textures are back in the original quality, like in the 1.00 patch.
Yes, we have a video on this (plus the HDR and CBR situation) coming soon.
@@DigitalFoundry I'd love for there to be a fix for RDR2 in HDR... i literally stopped playing the game because it was too annoying to go into my xbox settings every single time I wanted to play it and disable HDR.
@@StueyDuck People can decide for themselves. No one should be dictating what others should and shouldn't be concerned about. Normally those trying to belittle others for their concerns have areas of life they really _faux outrage_ about (to use your term) and are simply mirroring to feel better.

@@DigitalFoundry Nice.
Cruis'n USA music. lol
Clell Biggs I knew I wasn’t the only one ! It took me less than a second to transport back to my childhood 😍
Random asf
Super nostalgic.
I don't know why Cruis'n USA on N64 got such low ratings. It wasn't great but it still was a solid game and played just as good as its arcade counterpart.
Yeah I was wondering what the music was from. :P
Wow, Alex, you sure love your motion blur ... enough to include it twice in your recommended settings. :P
EEEWWWW
@DutchMercenary gaming
Same here, it is horrendous.
The thing is motion blur in this game have a short shutter speed, making it perfect for 60 FPS, most games have too powerful motion blur making it look bad but not this game
@@wile123456 Motion Blur makes me sick, I always disable that crap.
I turn off all vaseline effects for every games
Almost 3 years later, but I still say this is a criminally underrated game
Just finished and really enjoyed it. Feels like a flavor of Mad Max was added to it that perhaps wasn't so pronounced in the first as far as I remember. Story's forgettable but gameplay is amazing and frenetic similar to Doom.
5 years later, I’m playing it now on Nightmare after finishing Rage for X360 a few months ago. It is lots of fun. I might even prefer it to DOOM 2016.
Amazing level of detail in your content. Great as usual!
I've been looking forward to this, thank you.
2:10 The UI being stuck to a 16:9 screenspace is exactly what I want from games, and I'm really glad that they made it this way.
Yeah I don't get why people want their UI on the corners of an ultrawide monitor where they can't be seen at a glance, defeating the entire point of having alwaya on elements to the UI.
The Cruis'n USA theme gives me feelings.
do you know which theme it is?
@@gabrieloliveiralima3772 "Redline Shuffle"
Cruisin' USA. "Choose your car."
Great to see another Avalanche game using Vulkan! Mad Max, which was ported to GNU/Linux by the lovely folks at Feral Interactive was the first, and interestingly enough, it does suffer from similar stuttering. I really hope the developers get to grips with Vulkan, and that their next release doesn't suffer from these issues, as they are somewhat of a reoccurring thing with their implementation so far.
Great video as usual, keep up the good work!
You're not giving Rage 1 the credit it deserves. The mega texture allowed for extremely varied landscapes and interiors. It was groundbreaking!
The 30 second opening footage was more convincing to actually buy the game than any prior marketing release. Looks like a solid post-apocalyptic shooter!
If you know and liked the 2015 Mad Max Game you'll be right at home - Rage 2 is, the way I see it, more a sequel to Mad Max than it is to Rage.
Instead of full ratio auto resolution scale system, I would love to see more devs do something similar to what Flying Wild Hog did with "Shadow Warrior 2," that is implementing MRS (multi resolution shading) around the screen borders/edges instead.
This ^
I wonder if it's just a difficult implementation, because it really feels like a great way to optimize performance.
@@thatbants8510 it's pretty difficult to pull off actually. Devs are really tim pressured, so most don't have the man power to pull it off
Can you give a short explanation of what that is? I haven't played SW2.
@@Vynzent It's like the variable resolution function found in certain other games where you can have the game adjust the render resolution to meet a specific framerate target, except it functions around the border of the screen leaving the center at native resolution, the idea being that your eyes will naturally focus towards that region when playing.
@@MarikHavair Ah, ok. That does sound better than the whole screen rendering lower during busy scenes. So we'd still mostly feel like the image is sharp as opposed to a temporary blur during action.
I like it.
I came here for Alex's Optimized Settings, and I don't even have the game
"The console barrier" Kinda sounds like the developer barrier. If we can put console and PC games on the Switch, why are we pretending consoles are holding back PC builds? they could easily make a separate console build that doesn't hold back PC and is better optimized for the consoles themselves. Let's be real. It's the developers.
istrurbo1984 It brings views.
The truth? It's the money, putting more effort on whatever port/version always up the costs of developing a game and because they all cost the same price on sale, It is more likely they make only one build, then scale down for consoles. If they could up the PC version price I doubt they wouldn't push It more.
@@mbsfaridi ah. thats right. i sometimes forget that they arent dishonest fanboys.
@isturbo 1984 Yeah, DF have been pandering to them alot recently.
Oh, If you are talking how DF is "treating" PC, thats very true indeed, sometimes (or most these days) they don't care the game is on PC, like It never existed.
Dude I really loooove your videos, how calmly you speak and more than everything else the technical point of view you give
With the Jaguar cpu in consoles being such a low clocked, and castrated chip compared to any Ryzen core, I am actually impressed that 60fps was possible on the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro. However, since both high end consoles are literally the same here regarding performance, one knows that developers invested time and optimization on the PS4 Pro and literally no extra time was invested on optimizing the Xbox Scorpio. Nevertheless, great video.
A Plague Tale: Innocence please!!
They won't as it's not a big game with potential pay out from devs
Vg tech cover the game the other day, check it out on their channel.
guys they just put their video of it on the channel there's just a lot to cover and they've covered plenty of smaller games it just takes a bit to get to things with their large schedule
It's the video about Rage 2 I've been waiting for. Thanks, Alex!
Haven't got a PC but I'm still watching this. Alex always delivers the goods.
But when you do get a PC, enjoy!
Another fantastic break down Alex. Thanks for the work everyone at DF does. I think ill wait for a patch to check this game out on PC to fix some of the frame time and menu issues.
Although the game has its flaws it's one of the most stunning open world games I've seen. Got me excited for the other Id game Doom Eternal.
If that's open world too I'm going to sue someone. Talk about running something into the ground, games industry lol
@@DuckAlertBeats I think it will stick to the hub and corridors formula and I hope that happens, it's not meant to be open world in my opinion, that woul kill the superb level design the franchise is cherished for.
"You have to eat your vege-tables!" :D
I'm famous at my job for saying, "vege-table..."
@arcticridge: “NoooOOOW!” :D
It runs real nicely on Vega 64 at 1440p. Getting 80-90fps most of the time with maxed settings (excluding FXAA) and dynamic res disabled. Occasional drops into the 70s or rises above 90, but generally very stable in that window. Never seen it dip below 60fps.
Aretak dam a hot female pc gamer 👍🏼 and you use a vega radeon card that’s awesome
Lol dude, did you watch my Cruis'n USA video recently or something. Nice music!!! Love it!
Wait, Yoshi music too?
Or is that animal crossing
@@NavJack27gaming It is actually music from Commander Keen :D
Game ran like at dream for me 3840X1600 75hz on 2080ti with Ultra settings. Did dip into high 50's 60's sometimes, but it was buttery smooth the whole time and didn't crash once.
I have similar settings to achieve the 144 fps, but to be honest the game texture looks kind of bland but the lighting is excellent!!
The classic music throwbacks along with the timing makes this one of Alex's best!
What really bothers me is that the viewmodel/weapon FOV is extremely low and it doesn't scale/change with the general FOV. It's clear that it was designed for console users primarily who will possibly play on a lower FOV (80 or lower) and will sit far from their TV. But it just looks bad from a close distance on a monitor, especially with a higher FOV (because the viewmodel/weapon FOV stays on the same low level), while on a 21:9 monitor it's just horrendous and it gives me heavy motion sickness. This is the reason why I haven't played the game since I first tried it. Also, it's quite laughable and irritating that the UI elements stuck to a 16:9 screenspace. Even Salt & Sanctuary managed to support ultrawide monitors properly with an automatically scaling UI and it's a game that was made by two people, not by hundreds.
pretty sure it has an FOV slider on console that goes up to ~110
so this theory wouldn't make sense.
@@kevboard FOV costs extra performance, and usually fov sliders are not on consoles.
@@kevboard It has an FOV slider but you still use a TV and sit far from it if you are a console user (most of the time) and that's practically the only way to legitimate and explain this dumb restriction.
You can gimp your resolution to something like 1920x840. This will enable movie-esque bars on the top and bottom of your screen, naturally widen your fov (in any game) and give you a solid 20% performance boost.
yeah I hated this in the recent idtech titles as well. Luckily it's fixable with idtech5 tools and ultra-wide tools in DOOM
Thank you friend
I cant wait for Doom Eternal.Vulkan api best for my old 2500K.
i5 2500k=ps5 cpu level
@@AshtarSheran1 savagery
@Sterman99 Considering PS5 is AMD doesn't make much sense though. Still kinda true, i'd say since the 6th gen, no groundbreaking improvements. My 6700k is still quite close to a 9700k, in gaming that is.
@Barindra Bal yes,and a 25 tflops gpu.
@Barindra Bal We should remember that the Ryzen in the PS5 is likely going to be a custom cut down version of the desktop cpu so likely wont perform as well as the desktop version as they need to reduce cost and heat but in any event, it should blow away what in the PS4.
Rage 2 has found new life for me on Steam Deck. It runs shockingly well on this beastly little device at high settings, capped at 50fps.
Love the Commander Keen music.
Thank you Alex. Great Video as always :)
I will stick to my xboxone x and get this in 4k on the next Xbox.
Consoles are optimized 120% more than pcs so there's no point comparing, if Xbox one X had a Ryzen CPU and a rx580 it'll run the game at ultra 4k 70fps
Game is already using Vulkan, which is a low-level api.
EDIT: "Liking" your own comment? Wookay. Also he isn't comparing like IGN or some other trash click bait site to incite a platform war in the comment section for traffic revenue. He's doing it as a point of reference, a baseline, from which to work around. It is absolutely on point for what he is trying to accomplish: optimizing settings for a smooth PC experience beyond that of consoles - if possible.
@@ionseven easily possible, you forgot the on midrage hardware part. so hardware that is comparable in price. anyone with a reasonably high end machine has zero issues breaking these numbers
If, would, when.....console kids and their fantasy scenarios.
I'm not trying to start a platform war you dickheads I'm simply stating facts
@@ionseven you can build any low level API on pc but it'll never be as low as in a console for the simple fact that a console has a defined hardware and pcs have different configurations, they spend years of designing hardware and software to run perfectly on one console.
Dropping 1 frame every now and then, ever since I started using FreeSync, I don't care for one dropped frame.
This. Just unlocking framerate in-game and setting a framecap in RTSS whilst having g-sync of freesync enabled takes away so many issues.
I've noticed some games will always drop frames with sync on, even if you're far above your fps, I don't know why, just something I've noticed.
Alex, you know how to make a Tuesday a little less shitty. Watching now!
Why does Digital Foundry always stick to 60fps regarding PC? Most PC players are going towards High Hz monitors over resolution. 1440p 144Hz is the sweet spot i wanna see what that 2080ti can really do. Framerate>>4K
Because consoles would match or exceed the resolution on PC and we can't have that after paying out of the a** for the PC hardware.
I've always thought they use 60 as a point of reference for peasants to understand.

I'm glad I watched this. I was playing the game with my new rig (Ryzen 7 3700X + RTX 2070S in an SSD) and noticed the amount of stuttering. I thought it was my rig but good thing DF's video cleared it up for me.
PC > Xbox One X > PS4 Pro
honestly, with the loading stutters on PC, right now I would say Xbox One X is better than PC if you have anything below a 2070
@@kevboard I get no loading stutters but I got an old ass 1080 ti
Nah, stutters kills the PC version.
@@RCXDerp the loading stutters are not a GPU issue they're just there.
and what I was saying is that atm. with these stutters only really high end PCs are better than One X, since by the time you get to the performance of a 2070 the graphical advantages are big enough that the stutters are worth tolerating.
but I bet they'll patch it soon, I mean the stutters are basically not happening on one X, so it's an optimisation issue
I've been running ultra settings at 1080p60 with my gtx 1070 founders edition with no issues whatsoever! Great game, and plenty of gameplay and benchmarks on my channel!
"no issues whatsoever". I really don't understand why you'd post this. Your definition of "no issues whatsoever", could be very different to someone else.
Post average framerate, frametime consistency you've noticed. Anything objective...
@@The_Noticer. those all would fall under ''no issues'' along with fatal errors/game crashes/poor driver support... So, when I say I've had no issues, I mean exactly that. Thanks for your comment!
All i have to say is thank god for console exclusives, because any other games played on pc reigns supreme over everything else. That's why i'm so happy their's pc, console and handheld players out there, me i'm and will always be console/handheld player, reason well i never had enough money to buy a powerful pc to play games on it but console/handheld is within my budget so i will stick with them. Now with people who are pc players don't hate on me, and i got a pc just one not for games but for work only so yeah i'm happy with consoles/handhelds loads of fun memories and moments with the games i've played.
Hey Digital Foundry. Can you check Yakuza Kiwami 2 on PC that's made using the newest Dragon engine?
+1 that game is beautiful
They won't they got to keep selling those PlayStation 4's otherwise Sony won't give them no checks for advertisement get it
Mouse controls, while accurate, make for pretty twitchy and psychotic looking head movement as a spectator :b
Yeah if you're not used to it but if you're a PC gamer then its beautiful :)
For trailers you can always intentionally keep the twitchiness down to make it look less confusing, not sure why more developers don't do that.
@@nicolaiby1846 I know. Used to play a lot of Quake etc back in the day on PC. Nothing beats it in that context but yeah, it just struck me how unnaturally fast it looked while watching
Thanks for keeping my hope for a 1440p oder even 1800p 30fps console mode alive
What, like a patch adding 1800p/30fps into the X version? That's a strange request, for a fast-paced shooter, but if that's what you like I hope you get to enjoy it.
@@MunkeyChips yep. 1080p on a 75"4k display just looks painfully blurry. Still, the majority doesn't seem to bother. I do. ;)
@@TeeCee247 Fair enough. I definitely prefer a little blur if that means I get double the frame rate but I understand wanting a crisp image.
These videos are always very helpful, thanks Alex!
The entire intro for the video missed the fact that before Rage 2, Quake the granddaddy of FPS games was also developed by an entirely different company and a different engine and released BEFORE Rage 2. Its called Quake Champions.
Watching the dynamic resolution was hilarious
The Cruis'n USA music hit me in the feels.
I'm playing at 4K on my 1080 Ti with everything turned up except shadows (which I care the least about) I have them at medium or something. I don't know what fps i'm getting but I doubt it's 60. Whatever it is it's good enough for me to enjoy the game. If you are tempted to tell me to go to 1440p or 1080p to get higher fps save your time and breath, I'm not willing to.
Well since my fingers don't breathe... JK but I can't play any less than 120fps these days, I'll even drop resolution below 1080p to get it. I don't care how crisp the dirt looks when I'm driving around/ dashing around in a crazy shooter game, I need aiming to feel good.
dude this engine is just as insane as idTech 6, i just set every setting to max and it runs like a dream, I'm getting over 100 fps 100% of the time!
[3570k + GTX 1070Ti]
What resolution though?
@@DEVILTAZ35 1080p
I'd love to see a DF video explaining their optimal way to 'lock' the FPS on PC. As a newbie it seems like there are so many options:- in-game VSync (sometimes adaptive, half, or other!), control panel/driver VSync, 'in game' FPS limiters, RivaTuner / similar limiters. Then there's GSync/FreeSync on top. I'd love to know how they set up for the captures in terms of the above settings to test how well a game holds 60FPS (or whatever the target FPS being measured is) :D
If you are new to PC, I suggest taking guidance to driver support for graphical optimization. NVidia has one in their Nvidia experience. You can use that as the baseline and tweak it to your desire or leave it as is.
It'd be good if you could include a Vega result in vid's like this so we can have a more high end idea of how things compare. Obviously we know AMD has no comparable card to a 2080ti but it is also unheard of outside of that 0.2% of PC owners that have one so it has no real relevance for 90% of your viewers.
I think that Idtech 5 could really shine today, with 64 times more system memory than a ps3 and ssd's, it would be possible to make a game much larger and with fewer and quicker loading screens. Also, now we could take advantage of mega textures, at least doubling the pixel density on each axis.
It could, potentially, be used for the best looking 1440p60 games on the X1X.
Nice song! :p
It's pretty fun when you think of it... My R9 290 at 1080p outperforms the RTX 2080ti at 4K. A card worth around 60 USD on the second hand market performs better at 1080p than a card for about 1300-1400 USD new in 4K. x)
can't wait for the Team Sonic Racing analysis
Guys any chance you do a video for A Plague Tale ??
what about it? not exactly a demanding game on a technical front
Nice tribute to Goodbye Galaxy with that id music Alex!
You kinda misunderstood the dynamic resolution thing completly you should probably add the true explanation for it cause this is pretty unprofessional :P It works like a charm :) Also changing it to automatic and not using manual explains why you didn't get it at all it works just as intended on manual....
(hint: on manual the fps target will be what the game tries to maintain while lowering the resolution to down to x% set in the slider above, e.g. you can just lower it to 10% and it will always reach the fps target as long as it's not cpu bound. If you are not keen of too blurry images you can try stuff like 90% 60fps etc. but I would recommend choosing an fps that's reasonably handable and then just set it to 10% so you will never get stutters or slowdowns. (you can find out when the game starts to scal but just putting the slider to 10%, increasing it gradually and look at what % your current scene changes resolution)
It would be interesting how the Readon VII handle the game compared to the 2080/TI.
1080ti with an old 4790K with 1866Mhz 16GB RAM at 4K screen res with ultra preset at 67% locked res scale, (1440ish) I am seeing no frametime spikes or hitching at all. Been playing for about 10 hours with RTSS active and the statistics are rock solid except for frame dips when hulk smashing enemies.
i had stuttering issues with the first race which felt a little distracting.
Also, if you throw like 5 grenades shoot barrels and your smart Rocket Launcher in quick succession you can quite easily dip below 60 fps as well, but that is to me because the effects look very advanced and i suspect them to scale linearly with the resolution.
You (DIGITAL FOUNDRY) did not try this with the console version, pretty sure it will dip heavily.
That too, because this game shows much heavier decreases in performance when turning up RES than most games!
Would be nice if they stuck in 1080ti performance as well. I’m still on the fence about upgrading to a 2080ti.
Yeah a bit weird. Richard used to do several gpu/cpu/sometimes ram configurations. 1080Ti is still a popular card so it's peculiar.
1080ti is comparable to a 2080 in general. so reduce everything by about 30% and you are not going to be far off. Honestly though unless you want hard capped 1440p 144hz ultra or striving for that 4k 60fps ultra i would stick the the 1080ti. i enjoy the extra overhead of the 2080ti but i game exclusively at 4k
Peter Chestnut that’s what I want 4K 60 fps but right now I average 40 odd (depending on the game) is it worth me shelling out $1700 again when my 1080ti is only just over a year old. 4K 30 is fine for me right now as the crispness of 4K is too good compared to 1080p. As newer games become available I feel that 4K 30 may start to slip. When do you reckon the new generation would be? Sept next year?
@@cap4529 you can pick up a 2080ti for £1000 ($1250 ish) in the uk. 1700 dollars seems like a lot that would buy the msi lightning z ln2 overclocking version here (which is totally pointless for an average gamer). I went with a Palit gaming oc as i don't hear the slight extra fan noise they produce above other AiB boards with my setup/case plus it was a bit cheaper, been very happy with it for the last 6 months.
I would expect that Nvidia are going to sit on this generation for about another year or so. So really depends on how many games that are super taxing that you want to play come out in that time. 1080ti is a strong card still as it stands.
Doom Eternal but it's an alternate universe on acid. Fun
Yes
What’s with the cruis’n’usa music. It’s hitting me in the nostalgia sack
I'm not sure why you are getting such stuttering. I get the odd half second stutter now and again while driving but its really quite rare, it does NOT pause for 2-3 seconds lol. Somethings up with your rig Alex!
The game runs great on ultra with my old ass i7 2600 @ 3.8Ghz, 16GB DDR3 @ 1333Mhz, GeForce GTX 970 4GB (core+165Mhz, memory+580Mhz) with motion blur, depth of field, and chromatic aberration all turned off with Vsync set to 'soft' (best feature evar) I get usually a solid 50-60FPS with some minor tearing due to how the vsync setting works.
I'm having a blast with this game and I'm blown away how good it looks considering my rig isn't mainstream at all. Although the i7 2600 continues to kick ass since 2011. xD
OH! And those loading times? Holy shit. I'm running a old Kingston 500read/500write drive and I've timed many load times with none above 10 seconds. Crazy.
This game is just a dream to look at. I feel pink and blue everywhere is going to be a trend soon. Check out FC5: New Dawn. Same color palette.
I can't get this game to not look terrible. Supersampling and all AA option on, image quality is still bad. Colour banding and noise doesn't go away.
11:45 for Optimized Settings.
So the OneX is better than Pro reaching high PC settings, even tho Devs were assuring console Parity.. thanks DF you got there in the end anyway
Hey Alex. Isn't 1800p actually roughly 69% of 4K? I mean, it's 83% on each axis which would mean that the total number of pixels is actually 69% of total pixels of full 4K resolution. Yea, I know I am nitpicking :)
Yep it is - I was justing the in-game metric here (aka how avalanche says it ingame). Some games do total resolution, other's do axes. :D
Alex - a definition of a new age, "pcmr" noob which heard about pc gaming yesterday, learned a few things and is now on his mission.
God, what a shitty way to approach gaming as one of the most wonderful things we have.
Great work, I appreciate the philosophy to these “guides”.
5:10
"Xbox One X appears to be using the high setting here."
On PC I see round wheels but on Xbone X they are not so circular, you can also see that it's not as clear as the high setting anywhere else either.
When I see Vulkan:
shit, no SLI
Weird. I've played quite a lot of this game and never experienced stutters that severe. Wonder if there's a hard drive performance reason?
"Write a comment below"
But you never respond, even though I'm your #1 fan!
I got you covered! :)
I hit the like button!
That was fun to watch
thanks Sergio :D
urgh not a fan of dynamic resolution in general, i am sure there are some good examples out there but none that i have seen have been anything other than glaringly obvious when it is dynamically adjusting the resolution. hard lock that sucker at 100%
The difference between different settings is minimal in modern games
Nice video very intuitive.
I get around 75 - 85 fps at 4K Ultra on this though?
I downloaded this game from the high seas just to try it out. I played about an hour and decided it was not for me.
I don’t get it. How’d you get the game to use a refresh higher than 60Hz? I run my system at 1080P/120Hz, but every time I start Rage 2 it changes to 60Hz. I’ve reached out to support (on release day) and never heard back. Is there a setting I’m missing?
Ok, The outro song was also awesome.
I've been playing Rage 2 for about 15 hours and I don't have those stutters you speak of at max settings at either 1080p or 3440x1440. Spec: alienware area 51m / 9900k / 2tb 970 EVO / 2080 for 1080p / external 2080ti for 3440x1440.
Alex, did you notice frame time stutters only while driving? I'm noticing at least 2 stutters a minute while doing normal combat on foot or even out of combat
My experience with dynamic resolution was pretty different. I found it scaled down from native, but would take a few seconds to count frames before being able to achieve its target framerate. That's pretty standard. Not sure what black magic you achieved to get it to go backwards - possibly something funny re high refresh rates?
Loving the rage 2 content
Just like Alex , those stutters while driving annoy me so much and they have been there since day 1 release on pc
Love your work!
Nice review! thank you good sir!
I managed to get through the game with a 2600k and a 970 with everything on low/medium. It was a stuttery mess in many places, but was playable. It's not a very friendly game for old systems. I don't have too many issues with 90% of games but this one gave me a bit of a headache.
Came for Battaglia, stayed for the nerdy frame counting @ 13:43 😄
They really need to fix that menu lag, it's unbelievably annoying and I can't believe something so blatant got through QA.
Thanks Alex!
