… We willingly went down a slippery slope, and it's impossible to go back Gamers couldn't have imagined what would happen once they let poor gaming performance slide as just another sign of graphical progress. …
… My GPU usage wasn't anywhere near where it should've been to get the performance I expected. …
… Now, you'd think that's a bad starting point, but I actually use DLSS upscaling first to max out my base performance. Then, I enable frame generation on top to complement that performance rather than compensate for poor frame rates. …
… The performance is measurably stronger, the interface is hand-crafted for the form-factor, and there's little reason to stick with a poorly-optimized OS. …
… There are times when I get 100+ FPS, but the game still feels stuttery due to poor frame pacing, shader compilation issues, or poor optimization. …
… Granted, the raw performance of your card would make for a poor RT experience, even if it supported the feature, but at least it could launch the game. …
… Even AMD's Zen 5 processors had to be patched post-launch to bring their performance to respectable standards. …
… After launch, Intel kept shipping driver and software updates for the Claw 8 AI+, and over time, performance got better and better. …
… While there's no decisive benchmark data linking the anti-piracy layer to poor performance, it is obvious that the additional layer does indeed introduce additional CPU overhead. …
… The culprit was poor cooler contact and dried-out paste, and re-pasting brought the hotspot down and restored performance. …
