Any game involving Africans has to be woke, according to them and the devs have been fighting a barrage of trolling and obvious racism since the game was put up on steam.

    Much more relevant are the last two numbers in nvidia classification. A 2060 is miles behind a 1080. The first 2 numbers just represent the generation, not how “strong” it is. 1060 was always an entry level gpu, and is outclassed by even modern integrated graphics. Not to say hardware requirements aren’t insane recently, but that’s partly due to un-optimized engine requirements that take an insane amount of work to tune, which just isn’t realistic for an indie/less experienced team. As well as wild timeline expectations from investors/publishers to release products way before they’re ready so they can make money, leaving little time to polish.

      I know what these numbers are. I thought it’s obvious from my comments.

      1060 was always an entry level gpu, and is outclassed by even modern integrated graphics.

      1050 was an entry level garbage of this generation, going as low as 3GB of VRAM, while 1060 got 4-6GBs. The latter is not in the best position now, after 3060 dropped, and affordable VRAM got into 10GB+ territory, but it’s still capable of enduring tasks on it’s budget. 4060 and 5060 didn’t brought as much to the table as 10xx-30xx jump did after failed 20xx imho.

      Since new vcards are still trapped in an overprice bubble, used 1060s are still nice, especially coupled together. And I doubt that this discrete card is worse than integrated graphics of, say, 13gen i5 Intel, that is, by defenition, uses a part of availiable RAM rather than having it’s own soldered-in VRAM of the next gen, and also steals computational power from the CPU, that is rarely a bottleneck but cpu-heavy tasks still happen. In games, it’s titles like Vermintide 2 that exhaust mid-range machines by calculating horde logic.

      Source: I do live VJing and occasional v-render on client’s hardware, ranging from sexy 5080 speeds to vcardless trash setups, and just a couple of days ago I was forced to use a 730 vcard that could hardly handle OBS and projecting software at the same time.
