The comment mentions they're running at max settings. So even current-gen high-end hardware might not be the target. As long as the lower settings scale down fine to lower end hardware, who cares about max settings? That's what the original article is about. Max settings also means enabled path tracing, which current-gen Nvidia's 4000 series have better hardware acceleration for. So you can't really compare performance to previous hardware which don't have that hardware acceleration. No amount of optimization is going to fix that, and it should probably be turned off if you're not on a 4000 series or newer card. In that same way, AMD's path tracing hardware acceleration falls behind Nvidia's. A current-gen high-end AMD RX 7900 XTX does worse than Nvidia's last-gen not as high-end 3070 in Cyberpunk 2077's path tracing update. https://youtu.be/cSq2WoARtyM?t=503 https://youtu.be/cSq2WoARtyM?t=503
