Imma try this, but I haven't had too much stuttering. Some rare frame drops, but Junon and the base had a bit more in a few spots.

they stand a chance in the mid to low end
Theoretically yes, but everything they've shown so far (nothing) leads me to believe they will manage to fuck things up again.
They were really hoping for NVIDIA to come through on this one.
How are they doing that? Because the cards have RT or ML or whatever cores?
Just disable DLSS or similar features. It's not that hard tbh...
Of course, I had to run it back in Baldur's Gate 3, Honor Mode, after I failed right before the finish line. This time I went four Fighters, two melee, two ranged. My run ended in Act 2, not because of my party comp, but I let Isobel die in Last Light Inn. I forgot to block a door and the enemy crit three or four attacks on her. I did survive the fight with all the zombies afterward, got into another fight and ended it there. I'll do another run like this, but probably after Patch 8, when Fighter gets a proper ranged sub-class. No idea, what my next run will be, but it will have to wait a bit.
Then, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth finally released on PC. I've been looking forward to this, and just recently re-played the first part. I'm at the beginning of Chapter 4 and it's good. The big zones are kinda meh, pretty empty, and I don't think the devs ever used a Chocobo to run around. Unless you only follow the roads, there are small ledges everywhere, and your Chocobo either slows down or stops completely, which is a pain. I still have fun, although the constant short breaks are kinda annoying. Like in the first game, you need to wait for certain animations to finish, before you can go into the menu, or when you completed a "World Intel" objective there's a 10-second jingle and animation you have to wait for. Often you also get a call from a dude, who tells you he's found another one, and you just have to stand there and listen. Like I said, I still have a good time, so it's not a big deal.
This is much older than 2023. I remember Fallout 4, the console version was apparently almost unplayable at launch, so Giant Bomb actually lowered the score, compared to the PC version. And even that example isn't when this started.
Similarly, what if the reviewers don't get a specific version, that runs like shit? Like what happened with Cyberpunk, where nobody was able to play the XBONE or PS4 versions.
The thing is, as always, a review is subjective. If the game has problems, but the reviewer can look past them or doesn't care, why should they change the score.
Someone mentioned it already, but review copies might also run outdated code, and reviewers are in contact with the publisher or devs, and they might say some problem is fixed on release. If the reviewer believes them, it probably won't affect the score.
It's just a DLL override. That's why it only works for FSR3+, since the earlier versions were baked into the game.
It also means devs don't have to do anything, otherwise it would probably be like FSR Frame Gen, and launch with four titles, half of which nobody plays..
I mean, according to the name of the driver, it's based on version 470, which isn't new anymore. Also, that driver still supports Kepler, which NVIDIA dropped in 2021, so I don't think why that would stop working for newer architectures anytime soon.
Damn shame the GPU will just stop working and you can't just continue using it.
I wanted to check this game out, since I liked Drifter, but after seeing those negative reviews after Early Access Launch, I'll wait.
I've been trying to get a 5090, refreshed eight stores for a while. I saw one 5090, that you could purchase, 3200€, gone instantly. It's now the "topseller".
Two shops list the different 5090 models, none available of course, two others had 5080s for a while, before removing the listings again, although they supposedly weren't sold out.
