This mighty card will remain forever in our hearts !! gtx 1080ti R.I.P.!
Pascal R.I.P !

Read that DXVK will boost performance on old Pascal, tempted to try it out on my end. Graphics are broken on Vega cards and Polaris is getting like 1 frames per second.

Apparently the lack of Mesh Shaders on pre RDNA2 and Turing era cards causes older cards to get crushed by the amount of Geometry processing that has to occur.

Newer cards use mesh shaders to cull a ton of the scene that is not displayed to keep geometry manageable but older Rx5xxx cards and GTX1xxx cards have to render everything making them hugely underperform modern equivalents.

Does DX12 emulate it if not present in hardware?

Edit: or does the game / DX12 revert to vertex shaders?

seems I will need to upgrade my card if I plan on playing this
