The Outer Worlds with ray tracing can't hit 60FPS at paltry 540p resolution with an RTX 5090 and 9800X3D - ray tracing 'performance' mirrors Borderlands 4 fiasco (www.tomshardware.com)

It's a new day, and another badly-optimized AAA Unreal Engine 5 game has hit store shelves. A couple of YouTubers, including Daniel Owen, have discovered serious performance problems in The Outer Worlds 2 that almost mirror Borderlands 4's atrocious launch day performance. One of the most problematic graphics settings is the game's ray tracing mode, which prevents even AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaming champ from achieving 60 FPS at resolutions well under 1080p.

There's actually a very easy fix for all poorly-performing AAA games: don't be a fucking clown and buy shit games from shit publishers. They're only pulling this shit today because they have been getting away with it for years, and they've been getting away with it for years because they have stupid idiot fucking customers who have been enabling them. If you bought this game and are upset that it runs like a snail with nerve damage, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

    Many of us here aren't buying them. A core audience of people who don't know anything about hardware capabilities and aren't a part of niche gaming communities will keep buying them because they don't know better. Most people look at a game and say, "that looks fun" and they buy it without another thought. Your advice will never reach those people.
