I remember trying the single player campaign when it came out in 2012. To say that it wasn’t good would have been an understatement. Everything about it was abysmal: Visuals, sound design, controls, level design, AI, weapon feel, etc. It was also ridiculously buggy. I’m talking 1, maybe 2/10 at best. This surprised me, given the fanfare surrounding the project back then and the high hopes I had. I also quite like flawed, quirky Indie and AA titles, but this project wasn’t it back then, despite being free.
I hope the final release is vastly improved, but honestly, the trailer reminds me too much of what it was like 14 years ago.
It also reminds me of the recently released Timesplitters fan game, which is even worse, one of the most incompetently designed and programmed games I’ve ever had the displeasure of experiencing. I’m not exaggerating.
Sorry for the outdated impressions and negativity. I really do hope Renegade X has come a long way.
The advantage of having every DLSS feature (except for frame generation) in a low-end card like this one can’t be understated. You need bit of extra frame rate and image quality you can get with a card like this one. DLSS is both the most widely supported and best upscaling method - and even if you don’t like it for some reason, you can still use FSR or XeSS in games that support it instead.
Just make sure to get the 8 GB instead of the identically-named 6 GB version, because of course a much worse card has the exact same name. Not only is there more memory, it’s also faster (128 bit instead of a 96 bit bus), there are more CUDA cores (2560 instead of 2304) and the card runs at a much higher clock speed (1.78 GHz vs. 1.47). It needs a separate power connector, unlike the cut-down variant, but it’s still more power-efficient than OP’s current card.
