Discussion Should developers stop making games that require 5090 for max settings now that the card is clearly not for gamers and is accessible to 0.1% of community?

I get that the games need better hardware to dun better, but who are they really making the game for if you need a 6000$ GPU at this point

People really like to use the "it's not the engine but the developer" argument, and it's true to an extent... But when most games on UE5 run like crap, there is only one common denominator in all of these cases.

It really feels like that most of the time, UE5 games that run well, do so in spite of the engine, not because of it.

tokyo xtreme racer runs great.

the games basically a small track, some cars and a few background elements but other than that completely empty.

the dev team said it was a challenge. lol

I was gonna say this. On medium settings it gets a solid 60fps on my mid tier laptop and it doesn't cook it. I use a gaming laptop because I have no single place of residency. I jump between households.

Halo Campaign Evolved also runs pretty well! Because it's using Reach's Blam engine for anything not visuals.
