It's not that it's entirely "unoptimized," it's that it's targeting high-end GPUs first and low-end setup a distant second. The game appears to make great use of advanced features and performs as expected on the highest settings with the latest cards by just turning down one or two problematic settings. The problem of course is that most of the players will not have that kind of setup and have been let down.

It could be unoptimized - other big PC games release at -O0 because their developers are afraid of bugs from compiler optimizations. There’s been mods in the past that just replace some of the code to fix this.

I've actually heard that it has CPU issues especially with AMD hardware.
