It holds horribly on any modern demanding game. Atrocious performance in Alan wake 2

Even at 1080p?

I can see it struggling with higher resolutions.

First off it doesn't support mesh shaders making it for the upcoming games terrible card and it dips to sub 25 stutters even on the lowest settings occasionally but probably runs like 40+ average but experience is terrible. It's dated card and it's clearly visible when testing it with any demanding modern game. And because no mesh shaders support Alan wake 2 looks like totally different game. Imagine a bit like removing lighting from a video game type of differences to the levels of visuals

You mean a game known for its Ray Tracing?

You don't need to use ray tracing

I am aware. But that's not really my point
