performance is better than I thought

[omgitsbees]

I was expecting to end up just refunding because I dont really have a good PC. But with ray-tracing turned off, and DLSS on to performance, I am getting 60fps and its smooth. I have an RTX 2070, which isn't exactly a good card anymore for AAA games.

Any microstutter?

1080p ? 1440p or 4k?

Sorry, just 1080p. I got like a single microstutter during the opening cutscene. I just have a 1080p monitor, but its HDR with 144hz, but I set the frame rate in game to be a high of 60.

Frame pacing in Returnal is having issues
Returnal lives up to an "Unreal Engine 4 game" and gets stuck every now and then, no matter what hardware is in the computer. The game primarily gets stuck when new level parts are loaded again and again. And since this seems to happen in fairly small portions, it often gets stuck. And that's annoying.

Unfortunately, the PC version of Returnal joins a series of games that just don't run well on the PC. Be it The Witcher 3, Hogwarts Legacy or now Returnal (and the list is much, much longer), games have been struggling with it for the last two or three years. This is mostly the case in Unreal Engine 4 titles, but there are other examples - see The Witcher 3.

2070 for 1080p is just perfect for actual games...

Your graphic card IS a good card for AAA Games today. I have a rtx 2060 mobile in my laptop and can play Hogwarts Legacy on Ultra, but without raytracing.

While this might be true for some hardware, all of my mates with RTX 3070 or better have zero issues with Witcher 3/Hogwarts Legacy. A few of them even running 1440p 144fps with dips to 140, no less, for Hogwarts. So I would guess it does depend on some hardware combinations, since reviewers cannot test all of them.
