Digital Foundry was fortunate to receive access to a new Alan Wake 2 patch, landing on March 6th 2024 - and it's exceptionally good news for owners of GTX 10...
Fallbacks are incredibly common. There are fall backs for Ray Tracing, for example. All of these are optimization.
Lacking this level of optimization from the start was a sham. And Alex helped let them.get away with it.
Thankfully the game flopped, Im sure in no small part to its inaccesibility on a larger range of hardware, so the devs lowered the functional requirements.
Digital Foundry puts tech demo featuresets over a reasonably designed game, every single time. Nvidia relies on these narratives to push wasteful hardware.
John and Richard are the only hosts I care about these days. Alex and Oliver have become insufferable .
I still don’t know if I’d call lower settings to be optimisations. I see optimisations to be ways of making the current solution to work faster and more efficient. Swapping out a process for a “lower” one because some hardware can’t support the original is not optimisation in my books, and pedantically doesn’t follow the definition either.
How can you possibly say that under a video that literally showed better optimization on old cards being possible?
Isn’t it different optimization, not better? Since it’s using different rendering techniques for older GPUs?
