What aspects of this game’s graphics are so great & “next-gen?”
• Anti-aliasing barely exists - so many jaggies.
• Framerate is capped & it still regularly skips/stutters.
• Motion is blurred, even with the motion blur option off.
• Lighting looks weirdly artificial.
• Some cars are modeled incorrectly & poorly upscaled from generations ago.
• Textures look dull.
• Grass is flat.
• When trees manage to render as more than just blurry green blobs, they often look like they’re from the cell-shaded Borderlands games.
• More than a year after retail launch, the game still looks noticeably worse than what was shown in all of its pre-launch promos.
…etc.
Yet the game somehow constantly keeps my GPU running hotter than it seems like it should just for graphics that look like this - even when I’m in the main menus (not loaded into an event/track).
I’ve wondered if this game is running some kind of distributed computing architecture that sneakily uses everyone’s GPUs as nodes for training AI and/or mining crypto in the background - because GPUs shouldn’t be working this hard just to render such mediocre graphics.
