@Movi37 I appreciate your viewpoint, and like you, been working in the IT industry for a very long time, and building my own PCs when the Pentium 100 was out.
I am sure you will agree that initial reports miss a lot of details on those monster systems that people have. I have one of those systems (rtx3090/32gb/best cpu) and run my settings on ultra with FPS averaging about 115. It does drop to about 75-85 if I enable Ray tracing, but the performace hit isnt worth it to me, although I honestl dont see lag or other issues.
You can also have a great rig, but if you are not using cables and a monitor capable of keeping up the refresh rate, you will see the problems in performance. Mine is a 38 inch Gsync-ultra capable and runs at 144hz. There are smaller monitors that can pump out 250hz
Now I never said that the code could not be optimized. I do agree that it appears this game does not take advantage of multiple cores, and it has far more bugs and missing capabilities that I honestly never expected to be allowed in a production release.
So, my short answer is still that hardware can cure some ills, but you cant be running a ton of processes on a dirty OS and you need to remember that the monitor plays a more inmportant part these days than in the past.
