They have added it, doesn't actually change anything though.
I got a reply from their support email and they basically gave me a list of CPUs that support AVX and said that the devs are looking if there's a way they can fix the issue but due to AVX being a performance related function, they can't be certain.
Also @Brandy - my CPU is 10 years old and missing the AVX whatever function but it's perfectly capable of running the newest games, for example I've played through the entirety of Red Dead 2 which is a gorgeous looking game with no issues. It's still a beefy CPU, the only let down is indeed the lack of AVX. HOWEVER, saying that - I actually have bought a new CPU, i'm just waiting for the new motherboard to turn up.
We expect it because there's plenty of games that run just fine on older CPUs.
I have almost 700 games in my steam list, there are only 2 that have had issues running on my CPU. One is Death Stranding, the other was Squad which the devs fixed and now it runs just fine.
fix what issue?
the performance gains from utilizing the AVX instruction-set by and far outweigh the exclusion of pre-sandy bridge chipsets, most of which would not be able to run the game at full speed anyway
most if not all CPUs manufactured since then support AVX, and conversely most if not all CPUs that do not support AVX are likely too weak to run the game, with or without overclocking
there is no use-case in which sacrificing the performance of the masses to please a very miniscule few holdouts on ancient hardware is worthwhile in terms of cost-benefit
TL;DR - 505 is under no prerogative to add AVX support
Totally agree!
As in fix it so that the game runs for people, wether they have AVX capability or not.
They'd obviously not remove AVX that would be dumb. As I've mentioned in other threads, when the game Squad updated to the new unreal engine, this exact same issue happened. They simply made it so that the game still ran, regardless if your CPU supported AVX or not. Also the game ran just fine, I was still able to keep an easy 60fps while playing it.
Personally my CPU is a decade old yes but it has no issues performance/FPS wise. Like I said, the only issues i've ran into is Death Stranding and Squad but squad was fixed.
It's just a compatibility issue, rather than a power/performance issue
I've just read about that possible Denuvo issue, quite interesting and certainly makes sense that it could be possible.
Apparantley Assassins Creed Odyssey had the same issue which was fixed after a week or so.
older gen non-avx CPUs are still very much capable of running modern games with no issues because most games are GPU bound. I don't have a problem running games at 1440P and 144hz. and I'm not planning on upgrading my CPU until I see some bottleneck.
And to clarify I wasn't judging anyone's hardware choice, as mentioned, I've got an i7 2700K so I have OC'd it and fortunate it supports AVX, otherwise I'd be arguing your side. In a few years maybe? But I would just build another at that point, having budgeted for the replacement over the years and cost savings of not being on the bleeding edge. PC gaming is a hobby.
They also run fine on older CPUs as long as it's a beefy CPU.
It's not like there's a new magical language the CPU can't understand and decipher. It's just either 0 or 1
Pretty sure I do. Like I said - almost 700 games on steam alone and I can run them all just fine, if that doesn't say my CPU is perfectly capable, I don't know what does. New games or old, CPU or GPU intensive games
