idk... a i5 10600k, OC'd to 5.2ghz base (1.35v), has been good enough for any game I played till now. So I add terrible optimization to the list
E.g. even cyberpunk on release ran somewhat fine on my system (except for the glitchy stuff, ofc. but no performance problems at high settings)
Was Cyberpunk badly optimized then at start? I only started CP quite recently (after the last patch) and it runs pretty well mostly with my ancient delidded i7-4770k. Only loading times have started to be pretty long and I have thus far ben able to have the sounds start stutter once (game still ran ok otherwise), but I think it might be some generic rare bug about the MoBo sound circuit.
Gotta say I love the game. Much more than the FUBAR Starfield or the "Cheap copy of GTA San Andreas" GTAV combined.
PS. Double-jump leg-cyberware plus air-dash rocks.
PSS. What are the cops complaining in their reports about seven dead cops from cyberpsycho? When my cyberpsychosis kicks in (that is probably the only reasonable explanation for the laughter I hear when I kill someone), I usually kill dozen MaxTacs (three full squads) and probably regular cops in the hundreds-range.
