1060 gang represent!
I was a bit worried because the new FFXIV expansion bought a new graphics engine with it, but if anything it performs even better than the old one.
If I want to play something with modern graphics, that’s what my PS5 is for. The Talos Principle 2 demo made the 1060 cry, and obviously anything with raytracing is out.
I think the best thing you can do if you’ve got an older card is make sure you’ve got a GSync/FreeSync/VRR monitor for it, so those bits where it chugs down from 60fps go to a more manageable 40-50fps rather than skipping or tearing frames. I find I don’t mess with graphics settings as much either.
The only recent game I’ve played that made my GPU cry was cyberpunk. But in the beginning that game was also a mess and now runs pretty decently.
Thing is with modern day AAA games, considering what unoptimised messes they’re released in, I can’t be sure if the issues are with my card or the game being shite.
But to be honest… I don’t play that many AAA games anymore. The majority of them are incredibly uninteresting to me, are riddled with live service garbage, or are generally all pretty graphics and no substance.
