Jeez. Running great here. Highest possible settings. 1440p, DLSSp 3070\5800x3d\32gb *Wanna have some real fun? Go look at the comments in some of the youtuber benchmarker videos, then tell me this hobby isn't walking to its grave, being led by a bunch of reddit children who shouldn't even have macs for gaming. **Just played another hour session. Never went below 60, over 100 much of the time. I cannot BELIEVE that this game is getting this kind of feedback. Its a much better port than Hogwarts was, its better than Witcher 3 RT patch was initially. Zero problems. If I wasn't reading any of this, it would literally be a set it and forget it game.

That's not the question, the question is how are these games that want so much VRAM better in visual fidelity than games that run on 8GB. Where is the progress we get for the requirement increase?
Why RT games halving your fps don't look better with RT than without RT?

It's AMD optimized game, which means, let's make the game to use at least 16GB VRAM, so any 3080(Ti), 4070Ti will sucks 😀:D
its is not amd title since it has dlss

The moment people saw the Iron Galaxy logo, we knew we were in for trouble.
Yeah, their track record at this point is really not great.

Emulating this game is also more challenging than other ps3 games. I wonder if it simply was a difficult one to port. Also with regards to AMD comments in threads, wasn't PS3 graphical hardware nvidia based?

I have about 3 hr in and have yet to have a crash. Then again I'm not your average system either but it is very CPU heavy which will cause some CPU's to crash. I notice a lot of the post that it was crashing like crazy are AMD CPU users so I don't know. I get get around 100fps maxed out @ 5120x1440 with no DLSS then on Quality DLSS I get around 150fps at same res. I will agree the shader build at the beginning did take a long time and yes if you moved around the menu while this was going on the FPS would drop like a rock and the sound would cut out but not crash.

Are you the same troll from the Steam forum saying it runs fine at 73FPS on a RTX 4090, 13900K and 128GB of memory?

It was also released for PS4 back in the day. PS4 was already AMD based, fully. However, The Last of Us Part 1 is a PS5 game remake originally. We are now on the second generation of AMD based home consoles, so you need a pretty old game to have something else. Though naturally it's the older games that are typically remade, but it's going to be such extensive remaking, that it doesn't matter anymore what the original was for. In case of old console games, it's just a PC port if it's first remade for the new console and then ported over to PC with minimal effort.

bad time to be pc gamer, horrible gpu cost and major "pc" ports all release in shitty states, when is the whole phase of release it broking fix it later BS gona end? IF it broke on launch get refund. stop paying from broke releases. as stand most game take 6months to year AFTER release to get put in the shape they were supposed to be in upon release. I dont even blame devs for this ( for most part i dont) i blame the CEO/head office and fracking stock holder say we want our money release it. This is why i no long preorder games or even buy the full price

Fair. I completely had not appreciated the port was a remake, the original game was honestly so good I figured they just ported it at higher res.

Denial:

Gamers in general don't know what's good for them long term. Honestly, people in general don't - they think short term. They'll complain but they'll support it anyway. It's like that in everywhere. Semi-unrelated but I can't wait for the Microsoft Gamepass/Mass Merger to come back and bite all the gamers in the ass, 5 years or so from now. Going to be great when Microsoft jacks the game pass fee up to like $30 a month, they own all the studios and lots of gamers for the past 5-10 years haven't purchased any real games just been gaming passing it and now they have to pay that fee to play anything lol
hehe just recently I was in the position to either buy a game outright (BF2042) or get the subscription (EA play), and for some time, the deal's cheaper to buy the subscription. On the other side, I deliberately decided against it, although just out of a feeling of disagreement. Luckily, the game was on special just a few days after my consideration, and I got it for cheap. I do absolutely believe what you described will happen. But the thing is, even if one's smart enough to foresee it, one sits just in the same boat. Such developments are also aided by the fact that the people who know different, the old folks, will play less games in general the older they get, and thus less often voice their disagreement, etc. over time. The mass of gamers probably will end up being kids, with parents already indoctrinated by owning a hundred Fortnite skins. Cheaper hardware (no PC and only streaming consoles or just TVs in the future) means they're more likely to agree to a higher monthly fee and / or more micro transactions, because just like you said, in the short term it looks better, but in the long run they just pay more. At least that's how I imagine it going in the long run, and I don't like it. But I don't see myself in the position to counter such a move, and it just looks like people are fine with it, anyway.

Absolutely not.

I suspect the dev's were told to release it ASAP as it's gotta ride on the back of the TV series success. Being AMD sponsored it probably wasn't given to Nvidia to test, or if it was they just ignored what Nvidia said to release now - no contractual obligation to fix Nvidia bugs. Finally the company in charge is Sony and I bet they are as bad at testing for the PC as they are good at testing for the PS.

77fps with a 13900k and a 4090 isn't that great to be honest. I guess it all depends on the res he is running at as like I said Im in the 90's without DLSS with a 13900k/4090 setup but he is probably running it

73 fps with a 13900k/4090 is actually on the low side. I guess it depends on the res he is running but at 4k with that setup I'm in the 90's so I wouldn't be bragging about those numbers. So yeah i would say he is clueless and probably pulled that number out of his a$$.

This isn't an AMD sponsored game in the same way the RE4 Remake is an AMD sponsored game. They just have a deal with Sony to give away keys with new hardware. The game has both FSR and DLSS but not other tech from either company is inside this game. I really think its funny fanboys jumping onto the bandwagon to hate/blame a company, when every single company is guilty of tieing themselves to bad unoptimised ports or just full PC game releases. Anyone forgetting Witcher 3 RT remaster? Nvidia tech all over it and it was broken on release too. Is Nvidia at fault here? Anyone forgetting the huge list of games with Gameworks that were completely broken or unoptimised even on Nvidia hardware? Or how they included files to detech ATI hardware in FEAR way back in 2005/2006 and deliberately hurt performance something which they got sued for? All companies are guilty of doing crap, AMD, NVIDIA, INTEL, ETC, ETC they want your money, end of. Also this port IS terrible, it uses DX11on12, AVX512, and batters a 13900K or 7950X for a game that looks no better than any game released in the last 4-5 years. It also includes a mouse bug that was present in Uncharted 4 PC port.
