Good grief, I have a mid tier AMD card and I'm having a blast with almost 40 hours in the game already. Can we quit with the "defective" propaganda? The game runs fine and it's really fun. This "controversy" really drives home for me how detached from reality online discourse often is

The most common GPU on steam stats is a 3060. The AMD 7800/7700 do 90% and 70% better on benchmarks. So if you have either of those, you're getting nearly twice the FPS that the most common steam user would see.

  I'm running on a laptop 2070 and doing just fine. Calling it defective is just blatantly lying. It should be better optimized, but calling it "defective" does nothing but make people dismiss your comment.

  I have a 1660Ti. I get 40+ fps on 1080p. It's functional. Now, whether it is really any better than the previous generation is the more relevant question in my opinion. There are a few things improved, and a whole lot missing. The performance issues are only a small fragment of the game's issues.

    yeah this here is the real point. runs alright for me, too. just alright, but for what it is that's fine. however it's not really much better than the predecessor, and needs to give me a reason to give up on the HUGE mod community and well documented approaches from CS1.

While I tend to agree that there are a few people bashing it just because everyone else seems to be doing it I would also like to ask you to consider that not all the complaints are invalid. Case in point: I get 6-10 fps on a 7900XT with the default settings, 17 if I use the lowest preset, all while seeing around 55-ish percent system utilization. Something is amiss here and the game is definitely not running fine for everyone. As someone seeing this weird performance issue I wish both sides would focus less on screaming at each other and make it easier to figure out the root cause so everyone can enjoy the game.
