Yeah but CP2077 is a stupid game to emulate as a reference. If that mess of a game can run at 30fps, then like 80% of the steam catalogue can run at 60+
Is that still true? IIRC it got a lot better post-release. It runs fine for me on what is now modest hardware.
I believe it got better, but my standard is just high i guess.
Wouldn't that make it a great benchmark? It sits right at that sweet spot where if it's barely playable then 80% of the other games are playable.
Usually the rule in software is that if it works for 80% of the cases then it's a good product.
(This is also why software is shit 20% of the time)
You are right, in that sense its a good showcase.
It's Crysis at max for the newer generations
