You know, its not unreasonable to understand that a 9 (that's nine) year old mid range gaming graphics card might not have the greatest capabilities today when it comes to graphically advanced games.

Or even a three-year-old top tier gaming graphics card. I'd bet the min. FPS or 1% lows on this title on my old 1080ti don't look very good.

Basically the same performance as any game in the last year or so (1080p with high settings, very high settings along with most advanced settings turned off).

@W1zzard would it be possible to see AMD VRAM usage in these tests? Or do you test and don't include if the results are insignificant?

The DLC did.

And who do you suppose has been trying to buy a new GPU? Especially since this 9-year-old GPU has a faulty memory module and crashes everything? I won't be buying them at scalper prices, oh no, and the rest of my PC will also get upgraded if the GPUs are back in stock at their MSRP. They are just screwing themselves out of potential sales, I am not the only one that feels this way.

This is not Days Gone developers problem. These guys cannot think of now-ancient hardware while also taking care of newer stuff.

As you can see, at maximum settings its even "playable". Surely, some barely-noticeable eye candy reduction can bring it to very playable.

THU31 · May 19, 2021

Did you experience any game speed issues that look a bit like stutter? A lot of people are reporting this (including Digital Foundry), but mostly above 60 FPS.

Opponents in most fps are just bullet sponges. So zombies.

Why? Do you play fps differently from a 3rd person shooter? Other than the angles, the games are not only similar, they're identical. A fps may have more intricate aiming, but that's about it.

Game is really great. Good story and 25-30 hours SP.

MLG The Canadian · May 19, 2021

Clean review sir. Averaging 45-50 fps on my 970 with mostly max video settings.. riding this 3.5GB VRAM till the wheels fall off!
