First Xbox next-gen exclusive, The Medium, brings the GeForce RTX 3080 to its knees: can't manage a locked 1080p/60 FPS, even with ray-tracing disabled

[Redaktion]

In what could come as a disappointment to GeForce RTX 3080 owners, recent Xbox and PC exclusive The Medium struggles to deliver a consistent 60 FPS, even at 1080p with ray-tracing effects disabled. Because the game readily scales to 4K, this could be an optimization issue Bloober Team and NVIDIA will soon resolve.

Why are you continuing to write such click bait articles? The medium has no too notch graphics, it has very beautiful art direction but no top notch graphic quality and definition, there are various games with better quality graphics that tun smooth even with a RTX 3070, therefore it is obvious that this is not the RTX series to be underperformed but the games to luck various optimizations.

These article are not unbiased.

This really goes to show how badly optimized a game could be let to pass with current hardware. All responsibility is on the dev team.

"Beautiful art direction" LOL
'Bout as beautiful as a menstrual trail on a sheet in the morhing

[dude what]

Imagine actually believing that this game looks too good for current hardware when in fact it's just a piece of unoptimized junk

Something is wrong with the author's hardware; I'm running this at 1440p with max settings and ray tracing on and I get 75+ FPS.

I haven't frequented this site for extremely long, I just click occasionally to see just how ridiculous their posts get... But was there ever a time where this site wasn't just reframing articles from other sites as click bait? They've passed off rumors and analysis as fact and then give source credit of said rumors to other sites to give them validity, or posts like this where they sensationalize something that isn't at all a big deal.

I sure hope the site is making someone some cash, because it certainly isn't informing anyone. Or maybe it's a wonderful site, save for all the pages Google keeps sending my way.

Imagine if it was 'The Ultra'

My game runs smoothly at
3840 x 1200. I didn't check the fps. But I'm sure it's decent If it runs smoothly.

Blame cross platform, the framework is heavy, and likely not their own engine.

Prý že srazí rtx 3080 na kolena... To možná pro to, že ta hra má na pc příšernou optimalizaci.

I have a 3080.  Maxed out settings and ray tracing. 1440P 75-105 FPS.  Your system is to blame.
