    AMD folks are having a good time, but nvidia folks will need to wait. The game is purposefully not optimized for nvidia at the moment due to AMD sponsorship. (Also potentially to point out that many AAA titles tend to be optimized for nvidia but not AMD at launch)

      That doesn’t explain the CPUs though, since with those, AMD is much worse than Intel, so it’s not just a simple “game is optimized for AMD.”

        Simply untrue with later AMD. Slight advantage to Intel, but not the blowout it used to be. Intel loses entirely if power consumption and cost is taken into account.

        But of course, games rely largely on GPU power, and the CPU concern is generally secondary.
