I don't get it, why did they say it would be unplayable with my system if it's anything but? Sure, I'm not breaking any records, but it looked and ran just fine.

my benchmark keep crashing can't create char, can't start benchmark

DLSS is doing a lot of heavy lifting, though I did see some weird things happening with character and armor textures in the score scene, dunno if it's from DLSS or some other option, gonna have to mess around and see.
Edit: Yeah DLSS on all the time is what is causing the weird texture issues. Also super noticeable to me when it was set to turn on at 60 fps when it was turning on and off. Would probably just leave it as always on to get rid of that jank and accept that some textures are just going to be bad. Native numbers were decent enough so I'll probably just turn off the dynamic resolution instead.

That's what I got for a report, but I was getting a lot of micro stuttering and I'm not sure what the culprit is.

Looked very nice to me. Did not see any texture issues or jank.

They didn't.

You meet and exceed the minimum requirements that they set out (and had already spoken about months before.)

Pretty fine with that. Was hoping for at least High (8000+). Fullscreen was slightly better but the first run supposedly takes a slight hit in performance. No option to cap framerate so IDK if that would've helped it run smoother. Also using that risqué Windows exploit to limit max CPU processing power to 99%.
