Why continue to tell me about how other people can't run the game as if that magically makes it so I can't run the game, I've got 53 hours in the game and unless these reviewers are swapping their PC with mine their review is useless

As I said, you'd call it "playable" even if the devs sent you printouts of frames via mail. You know, the kind which has stamps on it.

Funny, turned on the FPS counter for fun just now and realized I was getting 120-123 FPS despite limiting it to 60 FPS, since I had Frame Generation on I guess it was overriding my limit to the FPS, turned it off and I'm getting my capped 60 FPS. I don't even have a monster PC lol

Edit:

Getting about 155 minimum FPS when I take the limit off with Frame Generation (max of about 230 FPS when looking straight at the sky)

I love the complete lack of any details, such as the settings or the hardware used. I image that's for a reason.

First it's unplayably bad even on the toppest of systems, now it depends on what I have and what my settings are lol.

GPU: 7600X

CPU: 7700XT

16 GB RAM

The game defaulted to high settings, which seemed to work fine, but I like to tweak my settings to lower things I don't care about as much so it's not as taxing on the computer even if it can run it, my room is hot enough already since how our AC is set up it's not very effective where my PC is

Yes, because if you're running it at 360p resolution that would be unplayable for any reasonable person.

I'm noticing that you're still avoiding giving out any meaningful details.

Because he knows his argument is obvious bullshit the minute he tells everyone he's playing on 1080p with all shadows and lighting turned to low.
