I played on AMD graphics (Radeon R9 390) and my experiences were very different. Definitely the worst optimization I've experienced in a triple A game of this generation. The game at medium 1080p runs far worse for me than Battlefield 1 on the highest settings at 1440p. However, I managed to get a performance boost when lowering tessellation samples in my AMD settings. That seems to be the root of the game's performance problems.

I also agree with the opinion that the game was unfinished at release. There are still some major bugs and oversights (e.g. the sprint bug, unskippable loading cinematics) that I wish they would fix, but they never got around to it.

All in all I think it's a good game, though. I think some criticisms are overblown (facial animations), but the aggregated review scores are fair.

Tessellation is something widespread since years now, if your GPU is not able to do tessellation I don't understand why EA should be the coulprit.

This is the only game where I have a problem with it. As I said, Battlefield 1 runs much smoother at the highest setting, and that runs on the same engine.

Tessellation is only part of it, however. Even after lowering it, all other Frostbite 3 games runs much smoother for me.

buy a modern GPU that is able to do tessellation before complaining, Andromeda was a modern game.

I'm not complaining, just comparing my experiences with that of someone else.

And again, Mass Effect Andromeda is the only game where this is an issue for me. As I said, the issue doesn't occur at all in any other Frostbite 3 game. Are you saying that Star Wars Battlefront (2015) and Battlefield 1 (2016) are not modern games? Is it really worth buying a new GPU for an issue in a single game?
