It's a shame that CDPR ruined an all-time classic and one of the best games ever. The next-gen update looks really great and stunning, if I focus on the visuals only. It is obvious that the game has massive performance issues and bugs. I'm running it on a RTX 3080 and an Intel 12th gen, but framerates are really bad and unstable. Apart from that it has many bugs like flickering, pop ins and other strange artefacts. I'm wondering how the game developer does the testing. Do they have a QA department? They want to be a top studio but cannot manage to ensure good quality from a technical point of view. That's embarrassing. I would rather play another game until it's fixed. One remark regarding the new RTX 4000 cards: From what I've read so far: People claim that the game runs smoothly if you have an RTX 4000 and use DLSS3. To be honest, that makes no sense for me. The game uses the available GPU and CPU resources inefficiently. You can see that by the low cpu utilization. Even the GPU doesn't reach 100% utilization. It's a clear sign for me, that there is a CPU bootleneck. If you use frame generation, than you avoid that bootleneck. It's just the new trickery from NVidia and it doesn't mean that you need an 2000$-gpu to run the game smoothly.
