  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization appears inconsistent, as users report subpar performance on the RTX 3070, while achieving impressive frame rates of 120fps with a 3600/6950xt setup at high resolutions. This disparity suggests that the game may not be fully optimized for all hardware configurations.
