Does this game run like crap on AMD? Or is it optimized?

Title because the RX 570 was roughly around a 1060 iirc but the page says 1060 or RX 590. I know it's The nVidia sponsored title of 2020, but does it actually work well enough or is it basically not optimized at all?

“Sponsored by Nvidia” does not mean “Sabotaged on AMD”.

Think about it for a minute, both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, as well as last-gen consoles, use AMD architecture in their CPUs and GPUs. If the game ran like crap universally on AMD hardware, the developers would be alienating not only all of the console playerbase but also a not insignificant portion of their PC playerbase.

Obviously you still need to meet the minimum requirements (regardless if you’re on AMD or Nvidia) to run the game but that’s fairly self explanatory.

edit: Also look at some benchmark videos online if you have doubts. That should always be the thing you do with these sorts of issues.

And "badly optimized" does not mean "sabotaged" either. For it to run on an RX 590 like it's a 1060 means something may be wrong. Even on release the 590 was substantially faster than the 1060, so with driver optimizations by the time this game released for it to be running as poorly on a 1060 as a 590 could indicate it being badly optimized. Considering this also had really serious problems on last gen consoles as well as problems on PC and console generally until bugfixes, it's a valid question.

edit I guess it's depending on the title, I remembered 590 being much faster but apparently there's a lot of games that's not always the case

As stated, look at some online benchmarks if you have doubts. Or better yet, buy the game and play for <2 hours and see for yourself if the performance is satisfactory or not.

If it is, keep playing. If it isn’t, refund. Easy.

Page also has the 1660s on its list for recommended GPUs. 1060 6gb doesn't run like that GPU either. (Spoiler: it's about vram as much as performance.)
