    I had horrible framerate/stuttering with raytracing enabled so i refunded it… waste of 135gb download

      For me it has been running just fine with 7900XTX on a 4k TV all settings on Epic. Stutters only occur occasionally in a few places. I only started playing it a week ago though so there might have been some patches.

    No way that game has enough content or is complex enough to justify 135GB. What it is is unoptimized crap. And since storage keeps getting cheaper studios have no incentive to fix it.

    There’s 1TB SATA SSDs for $35 at my local best buy.

      I heard that they sometimes duplicate assets grouped by area, so the assets for an entire level can be loaded at once making it load faster, but I don’t know if this is still done and if it even makes sense with SSD’s.

      BuT hArDdRiVeS aRe ChEaP… and compressing textures just wastes CPU power when you need 18k textures that’re gonna be smeared to shit by TAA anyway.

      So, fuck compressing assets or worrying at all about optimization.

        Why is Liverpool and England star Trent Alexander-Arnold smearing my textures? You’d think he was too busy playing football…
