Although "The Outer Worlds 2" received good media ratings, the PC version had some technical problems and poor performance optimization.By the way, "The Outer Worlds 2" is also developed using the Unreal 5 engine.

Tipster NikTek tweeted to complain about the PC version of The Outer Worlds 2.

He first pointed out that the PC version of "The Outer Worlds 2" has serious lagging issues.Performance and lag issues will occur when players land on the first planet in The Outer Worlds 2.It feels like games developed with the Unreal Engine 5 will experience similar lags as long as the map is larger than 500 square meters.It's a joke to imagine that you spend $80 to get such optimization.

Subsequently, Niktek also quoted a test video from YouTube channel Daniel Owen, which showed that its Ryzen 7 9800x3D+RTX 5090 graphics card was unable to handle the native 4K/highest image quality of "The Outer Worlds 2", even with ray tracing turned off.This netizen complained that the graphics of the PS4 era can't run 40 frames on today's top graphics cards. This optimization is simply...

According to tests by foreign media TechPowerup, under native 1080P/highest image quality/disable ray tracing settings, only RX 9070XT and above graphics cards can stabilize 60 frames. However, there are not many graphics cards that can run more than 60 frames. There are only RTX 5090, 4090, 4080, 5080 and RX 9070XT. Other graphics cards are already "beyond their capabilities."

If the resolution is changed to 2K, only RTX 5090 and RTX 4090 can stabilize 60 frames:

If it is 4K resolution, the average frame of RTX 5090 is only 44.6 frames:
