The upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is so poorly optimized that even the best graphics cards are struggling with it.
Nvidia’s RTX 4090 is overkill for a vast majority of games, but it seems to have met its match in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. That’s right — even the best graphics card struggles to maintain more than 35 frames per second (fps) in EA’s upcoming title.
Of course, this kind of performance is unintended, and it stems entirely from poor optimization. Will your computer be able to handle the game when it launches tomorrow?
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is just a day away from its official launch date, but it seems that EA’s efforts are far from over. Several reports from early players and reviewers indicate that the game is terribly optimized right now, with issues like low frame rates and insane VRAM usage plaguing those who already got to play it.
Many games launch well before they’re optimized — looking at you, Cyberpunk 2077 — but the problems that affect Jedi: Survivor seem bad enough to almost render it unplayable. There currently doesn’t seem to be a graphics card that can offer steady 60 fps, and that should never be the case when overpriced beasts like the RTX 4090 exist.
