The fact you need a 4090 to touch 120fps on 1080p in 2023 is disgusting. That should be the minimum target fps for mid range hardware at the least.
Meh, game is bland anyway.

The game is cpu bound so having a 4090 won't do you much good if your Cpu can't keep up, which is the problem most people have

Even with a 7000x3d, GPU performance is pretty rough across the board https://youtu.be/vTNiZhEqaKk?t=2m46s

It's shitty code bound. Sometimes no matter how powerful your hardware is, software will perform poorly because it just doesn't scale. Writing complex software like game so that it can fully utilize current hardware AND actually run faster with better CPU/GPU can become very difficult once a certain complexity threshold is reached. It's easy enough to do for a small linear game even if it has exceptional graphics, but an open world sandbox game like ones that Bethesda makes is a completely different story.

That doesn't mean that it's impossible of course - Bethesda absolutely should have made a better job, but it's by no means an easy task.

I'm getting 120FPS indoors at 1440p with a 3080TI. Outdoors it's more like 80FPS.

At first I thought you meant like your computer ran faster in the air conditioning.

I thought this until i read your comment.

Like, who games outdoors?!

Games don't feel like they've advanced very far in graphics since the witcher came out, I should still get 144fps on my 1080ti, if I'm honest.

But then people wouldn't buy $1000 graphics cards all the time which isn't very cash money for the industry

PC bad. Game bad.

Not having a 4090 = pc bad.

You don't need a 4090.

Ok sure, 1080p low settings, I can get away with a 4080 if I have an i9 13900K. 1080p high? Yeah, not even a 4090 with a 13900K will get you near 120fps.

The game runs like shit.
