Reminds me of a game (MMO) I play on the weekends. Any time someone new joins, they always ask how come frame rates are so low. Then we begin the ”set your graphic settings to high” conversation. They immediately say we are full of shit. It’s already set to low and getting 10 fps.

Eventually, someone explains: “just try it, or stop complaining.”

30s later, they exclaim: “holy ** I’m getting 60 fps now!”

Sometimes, what looks like misinformation isn’t misinformation.

TL;DR: this game switches to a software rendering pipeline on “medium” or lower. You have to set it on “high” to switch to the hardware rendering pipeline.
