This is really good information, but I just can’t get behind it I’m sorry. Things started to go downhill once dlss and fsr really started to take off and it’s shown in damn near every major PC port. Remnant 2 is another culprit, the game ran like trash, even when I was running it through an rtx 4080 on GeForce now. I couldn’t get it to go above 45fps even in 1440p on high settings without dlss in ward 13. This is becoming more commonplace with every release, baldurs gate 3 seems to be the only exception.
There was a fun Reddit thread a while ago where someone compiled several screenshots of older Reddit posts, videogame articles and forum posts, showing how every single year people claim “games today are so unoptimized” and “current year is when things started going downhill”.
And you citing Baldur’s Gate 3 as an example is somewhat interesting - the game’s engine actually does have an optimization issue, a huge one: it only leverages 4 threads for the CPU. Everything above that gets underutilized and the game becomes extremely slow in places like Baldur’s Gate itself thanks to the CPU being hammered.
