No, Deus Ex Remastered, I simply do not believe you need an RTX 2080 to run at recommended settings

We've done a batch of eye-widening connected this website astir the lofty requests of definite games’ strategy requirements, but it’s the recommended specs of Deus Ex Remastered that mightiness conscionable nonstop my brow surging done the ceiling and into the fuselage of a passing Airbus, sidesplitting everyone connected board. You’ve seen it. You’ve seen however it lone adds, astatine most, 5 years’ worthy of graphical nous to the 2000 classic. So, per Steam: a Core i7, 16GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce RT-goddamn-X 2080? No. I’m sorry. No way.

What if we’ve been played, and the past 3 years of stuttering, fan-torturing Unreal Engine 5 show disasters were conscionable a distraction from the existent menace of questionable Blair-era remakes? What if ray tracing did thing incorrect and Randy Pitchford was lone trying to pass us? That’s a world I’m not definite I tin face.

Y’know what, possibly immoderate things are amended near unbenchmarked. Sadly, determination doesn’t look to beryllium overmuch other for starving Deus Ex fans (hello) to look guardant to instead, with a Mankind Divided sequel cancelled past twelvemonth and Jensen VA Elias Toufexis vocally doubting the series’ future. With that cancellation came 100 unit layoffs astatine developers Eidos Montreal, a workplace that chopped jobs further earlier this year.
