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.

    Indiana Jones and the Great Circle requires a card with ray-tracing capability. No option to turn it off.

      Right. Attempted to check it out when I was still rocking my Vega 56, the game refused to start.

      That’s…not true. I do have a fast card so I played with it on, but there were options to disable ray tracing and path tracing.
