Comment on Every DigitalFoundry graphics analysis ever

I like the stuff Threat Interactive did about Digital Foundry and calling out UE5 bullshit temporal smearing and all the performance-robbing bullshit. Our games looked better 10 years ago than they do now, and performed better to boot.

Exactly. It’s ridiculous how UE5 has tools like Nanite that should free developers from previously time-consuming chores such as creating LOD meshes and provide great performance at the same time. Instead it leads to performance problems and the developers may not optimize their games properly. The resulting game needs to render at a lower base resolution like fucking 720p and upscale from that using AI, add some bad anti-aliasing and the overall image quality is blurry. This has to be done, as otherwise the game’s performance will barely reach stable 30 FPS, even on new GPUs with all the bells and whistles.
