>>57647973It actually runs on the same engine powering Fallout 4/76 IIRC. As for why its super demanding I couldn't tell you why. If I had to guess maybe it has a higher poly count than FO4/76, the textures are of a higher quality and consoles/PCs have trouble streaming them with enough VRAM, who knows why. Its also likely that the game is just pushing the Creation Engine to its limits, doing things it was never intended for.
All that's known is that according to GamersNexus, the a GPU like the RTX 3080 is only able to get an average of 76 FPS on 1080p high, 62fps on 1440p high, and falls all the way down to 41fps on 4k high. Anything midrange will struggle at achieving a constant 60 at 1080p.
