Yes, I agree that 30-60 fps is likely plenty of frame rate here--no FPS twitch game here...

Will probably swing for this myself!

It's pretty weird a Microsoft game in 2020 sticks to DirectX 11. It sends a peculiar message to other game studios.

This game is very heavy at ultra settings O_O

Strange to see the 2070S performing worse than the regular 2070 at 1080p and disappointing results from AMD here, particularly the VII which often manages to claw back some performance relative to Nvidia at 4K.

9GB VRAM usage for 2080Ti... and to think the new 3080 is supposed to have 10GB
