3070ti doesn't meet recomended?

I know it's an older card but this game's visuals don't blow me away. Are games not being optimized at all anymore?

I admit RTX 40 series , well forget 40 series. Let's talk about the RTX 30 series.

How many of you had purchased 3090 the flagship model at MSRP or anywhere close to it?

If recommended is a 3080 then this is definitely very poorly optimized.

I've got a 3070 (oc'd to around 10% over reference), a 12700k (oc'd to 5.2ghz and ddr5), 3440x1440p, high settings with shadows set to epic and ray tracing on, DLSS performance, dlssg-to-fsr3 mod. I'm getting around 100 fps in cpu heavy areas (inside Paradis), and 120 to 160 in less heavy scenes.
As with most recent game releases, the game runs awful for what it looks like. The scenery isn't anything special, lumen keeps being noisy and slow to update, human characters look like clay models. We're even missing an official HDR implementation in 2025, which is insane. But I've gotta say that frame generation does do the trick here, and the latency impact is minimal (I'm using some engine.ini tweaks that reduce latency further at the cost of some cpu overhead), for instance i couldn't handle fsr3 on STALKER 2, the input lag difference was massive. If you're fine with the usual fg artifacts, I'd say you're gonna have a decent to good experience. Without FG, I'm looking at 60 to 90 fps. Hope it helps.
