that's the dumbest shit I've heard in a long time... jesus...
and just to compare this to consoles. on console this game has 2 modes. 1440p Low Preset at 60 fps
and 1440p Low Preset + RT reflections and RT transparency reflections at 30fps.
so getting High + RT on a 3060ti at 60fps is not "meaningful" performance or what? whatever that even means
i'd like to add my own vids
obviously, 4k + dlss performance has a more costly render budget than native 1080p. but this should "get across" the idea
and this is 940p /1620p+dlss balanced/. it looks like 1200-1330p to my estimation (eye) but u get the idea. (RT GI + RT Reflections enabled)
at native 1080p, performance is much better. i can provide videos if anyone requests it
then again, if a thing runs above 30 fps, it still runs perfectly playable for me. so 60 fps is not even a "requirement" for me. but thats another discussion
extra note. dont min the cpu. its all heavily gpu bound
i have this gpu for what, 2 years now. got it for msrp. its a perfectly capable RT card. just use optimized and smart settings and everything should be okay. for reference i also managed to get native 1620p 60 fps in metro exodus enhanced edition. im sure that person will ignore such claims though
i'd even say rt is perfectly doable with 3050/2060/3060 considering DLSS still looks somewhat acceptable at 1080p. even then, with optimized console RT settings, these GPUs can also push some serious performance without breaking a sweat at 1080p.
with optimized RT settings, 3080 and above should easily do native 4k 40+ fps on most of the games. you just don't see it because every benchmarker out there will tune the settings to 11. if you think a 3080 warrants that, that's on you. i simply disagree. optimized settings offer more bang for buck
considering people applaud consoles for managing 30 fps on lowest possible rt settings, im quite appaled how people attack nvidia gpu rt performance, expecting maximum maxed out settings possible. those settings, believe it or not, are also suited for future GPUs.
