Is this the future of gaming now? Making games that are relying on AI-Upscalers to achieve a playable framerate?
If a current Mid-range GPU (4070 / 6800XT) is struggling to hit 60FPS on native 1440p then you clearly have an optimization problem.

Saying that it was made with upscalers in mind is not a valid reason, it's just a lazy excuse to skip the optimization process.
