More info from the article: quality mode is 1440p 30fps, and performance mode is 960p (upscaled to 1440p using FSR2) 60fps. Although late-game, specifically the big cities in act 3, can dip into mid-20fps range

So not exactly
I don't get all the performance complaints about Act 3. The worst lag I ever had in the entire game was the first time I walked into the druid grove, dropped to 1-5fps for like 20 seconds and then it was more or less fine the rest of the game. One crash in 160 hours of playing, and I'm still on patch 0.2 atm.
Wait did you play like 5 hours a day or is that the beta?
That is the full release only. It's also less than accurate to say 5 hours a day everyday, it was more like 10-15 hours a day with some days where I didn't play at all.
I think this game could run on PS4 just fine. Turn off raytracing and a few other things and it would probably work.
But then, I guess they can't keep releasing for the old console forever.
If there is money in it... Why not?
We got millions of gamers on old hardware. If they can do it, let all gamers have at it imho
There's no RT in BG3. At least not yet.
Yeah, it runs very nicely on ultra on a variety of hardware. It's been optimized and has even improved since release.
I am hoping they improved the controller interface, though. I use that even though I play the PC version, and it was somewhat broken as of a couple weeks ago.
This article repeatedly says that the game is running in 1440p, but I thought that the PS5 didn’t support 1440p. TIL they added it.
It's runs on ultra (minus raytracing) on my 1060 gtx, I'm not surprised it runs well on consoles, the game is pretty nicely optimized
You probably haven't gotten to Act 3 yet, the game is extremely CPU bound. I have a Ryzen 9 7950X and while Act 1 and 2 were basically locked to 144fps the entire time, in Act 3 I have seen dips down to the 40s.
