To run 1080p60 you need a 9-year-old GPU paired with a 8-year-old CPU.

What performance were you hoping to get out of that hardware?

Absolute best part of the game are all the live action films you find. Especially the puppets.

Yes, but then it’s also not as big a performance jump from what I have. I’m strategically lazy…

1. The GTX 1070 was in the upper tier of gaming GPUs when it was released, categorized as high-end on Wikipedia. Most people wouldn’t be able to justify the cost of its kind of performance until years later, even if the next thing didn’t happen…
2. About half that long ago, GPU prices tripled, and prices are still absurdly elevated today even adjusting for high inflation. This has significantly delayed a lot of peoples’ normal upgrade cycles, so your 9-year-old GPU is effectively more like a 4-year-old GPU with respect to affordable upgrade path.
3. Back when that card was new, running a first-person game at 60fps 1080p was mainstream and not particularly impressive. That level of performance is mediocre-to-weak today.

(And by the way, the other GPU they mention is only 5 years old.)

With all these things considered, I don’t view the quoted performance as anything special. It’s not particularly bad, but not particularly good either. Certainly not “very friendly”, or newsworthy.

It’s still 9 years old.

a) This isn’t Remedy’s fault.
b) The card is still 9 years old.
c) You can still play the game with a 9 year old GPU

That wasn’t my experience in 2016 when I was rocking an HD 7850, and getting less than 60fps at 1080p for FPS’s in 2016, a card that would have only been 4 years old at the time (and technically worse than what was in the PS4).

(And by the way, the other GPU they mention is only 5 years old.)

And about 15 percent more performant than the GTX 1070. With an MSRP about $100 less than it, and it being considered midrange.

Also, none of that really answers my question: What performance were you hoping that this GPU + CPU combo would give you?

Apparently the steam deck graphics capabilities are about equivalent to a GTX 1050 TI, so curious if this will run on deck OK or not.

Considering the Steam Deck’s screen is 1280x800, I think it might be ok.

Bit late, but in theory, it should work just fine, even at 60 fps, given that the Steam Deck’s display resolution is only about half of 1080p.

Somewhere above 720p upscaled to 1080p with the help of FSR should work for 60 fps. The lower render resolution is likely enough to compensate for the lack of VRAM. This is all theoretical, of course.

How’s your CPU situation?
