2	1	1.06f1	2600x	RX 6800 XT	16	100k	1080p	Low	37.7	25.3	46.9	20	Smooth and looks much better then without rebar
3	1a	1.0.9f1	2600x	RX 6800 XT	16	100k	1080p	Low	37.4	23.5	41.9	7.3	The lows are worse then the previous build. No idea why.
4	1b	1.0.9f1	2600x	RX 6800 XT	16	100k	1080p	Low	40.8	20.9	57.8	7.2	vsync off. Not even turning off vsync fixes the lows.
5	2	1.06f1	2600x	RX 6800 XT	16	100k	1080p	High	27.6	9.9	37	10.6	Looks good, playable.
6	3	1.06f1	2600x	RX 6800 XT	16	100k	1080p	Low, Mod	30.7	21.6	38.3	17.1	Low, High Texture Quality, High SMAA, Dynamic Resolution Off. A nice balance between low/high. Probably could push graphics card more.
7	3a	1.0.9f1	2600x	RX 6800 XT	16	100k	1080p	Low, Mod	37.2	22.6	45.2	5.5	Low, High Texture Quality, High SMAA, Dynamic Resolution Off. Vsync Off. Higher averages, lower lows. This is a sad result.
8	4	1.06f1	2600x	RX 6800 XT	64	100k	1080p	Low, Mod	35.4	23.6	40.9	16.9	Avg FPS jumped by 5. No rebar.
9	5	1.06f1	2600x	RX 580	16	100k	1080p	Low	21.5	12.3	28.9	6.1	Playable, but painful to look at.
10	6	1.06f1	2600x	RX 580	16	100k	1080p	High	8.6	4.8	12.8	4.4	Not playable.
11	7	1.06f1	2600x	RX 580	16	100k	1080p	Low, Mod	15	0.8	21.3	0.8	Wouldn’t call this playable.
12	8	1.06f1	2600x	RX 580	16	50k	1080p	Low	24.6	14.6	35.3	7.5	Playable, but painful to look at.
13	9	1.06f1	2600x	RX 6600	16	100k	1080p	Low	27.4	0.4	38.5	0.4	Playable, but wow is that low bad.
14	9a	1.0.9f1	2600x	RX 6600	16	100k	1080p	Low	32.8	3.6	40.5	2	Stutter when zooming in.
15	9b	1.0.9f1	2600x	RX 6600	16	100k	1080p	Low	33.4	23.9	42.7	10.4	vsync off. This is pretty playable.
16	10	1.06f1	2600x	RX 6600	16	100k	1080p	High	13.9	4.7	20.1	1.8	Not playable.
17	10a	1.0.9f1	2600x	RX 6600	16	100k	1080p	High	16.3	5.9	22.4	2.5	Not playable.

19	11	1.06f1	2600x	RX 6600	16	50k	1080p	Low	33.1	20.6	40.3	9	VERY playable. Needs to have Dynamic Resolution disabled to look good. Doesn’t have appreciable impact on performance.
20	12	1.06f1	2600x	Arc A750	16	100k	1080p	Low	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	Flickers on all screens before flashing. For some reason, was able to capture half of it.
21	13	1.06f1	2600x	GTX 970	16	100k	1080p	Very Low	33.5	5.5	43.6	2.6	Playable, looks horrible. No anti-aliasing is no good.
22	13a	1.0.9f1	2600x	GTX 970	8	100k	1080p	Very Low	34.8	0.2	45.6	0.2	8 gigs of ram should not be the recommendation.
23	13b	1.0.9f1	2600x	GTX 970	8	100k	1080p	Very Low	34.2	0	53.9	0	vsync off. Woof.
24	13c	1.0.9f1	2600x	GTX 970	8	50k	1080p	Very Low	40.6	0.4	57.1	0	vsync off. 8 gigs of ram is still not enough. Even suggesting it would work is shameful.
25	13d	1.0.9f1	2600x	GTX 970	16	100k	1080p	Very Low	34.3	12.4	43.8	3.7	using basically all of the ram with a card that has no VRAM

27	13f	1.0.9f1	2600x	GTX 970	24	100k	1080p	Very Low	36.1	21.3	49.8	12.7	vsync off. Playable, Ram made no noticible difference
28	14	1.06f1	2600x	GTX 970	16	100k	1080p	Low	16.8	7.3	22.1	6.6	Turrible.
29	15	1.06f1	2600x	GTX 1660S	16	100k	1080p	Very Low	38.1	11.7	47.7	4.1	Playable. If you turn off Dynamic Resolution it’s actually not bad to look at. Stutter is real at times.
30	15a	1.0.9f1	2600x	GTX 1660S	16	100k	1080p	Very Low	39.6	0.7	51.8	0.7
31	15b	1.0.9f1	2600x	GTX 1660S		100k	1080p	Very Low	44.3	20.8	56.1	9.7	vsync off
32	16	1.06f1	2600x	GTX 1660S	16	100k	1080p	Low	21.1	0.6	30.4	0.6	GPU Bottleneck when hitting VRAM limit. Maybe playable for some people
33	16a	1.0.9f1	2600x	GTX 1660S	16	100k	1080p	Low	21	10.9	28.8	8.9	dynamic resolution, fog, and usually disabled settings disabled. Vsync disabled
34	17	1.06f1	2600x	RTX 2060	16	100k	1080p	Low	28.6	1.7	40.3	2	Playable, but ugly with moments of significant stutter

37	17c	1.0.9f1	2600x	RTX 2060	16	100k	1080p	Low Modified	25.8	2.9	36.4	1.1	vsync, fog, and dynamic resolution off. This is actually worse then the previous build
38	18	1.06f1	2600x	RTX 2060	16	100k	1080p	Low Modified	24.8	4.8	32.5	4.1	Dynamic Resolution off. Playable, some stutter, but feels better because of lows. Surprised by this result.
39	19	1.06f1	2600x	RTX 3080 TI	16	100k	1080p	Low	31.1	4.9	40.7	1.8	This is a stupid computer, but it plays well and looks good. CPU bottlenecked.
40	19a	1.0.9f1	2600x	RTX 3080 TI	16	100k	1080p	Low	44.3	5.9	57.9	2
41	19b	1.0.9f1	2600x	RTX 3080 TI	16	100k	1080p	Low	51.6	37.5	64.4	22.9	vsync off
42	20	1.06f1	2600x	RTX 3080 TI	16	100k	1080p	High	30.7	19.6	39.2	17.6	Saturating GPU and ram. Confounding. Offloading more to GPU with higher settings? Looks great, very playable.
43	20a	1.0.9f1	2600x	RTX 3080 TI	16	100k	1080p	High	33.6	19.4	40.5	15.3

4	3	7950X3D	4090 FE	96	100k	1440p	High	41	29	55	26	Feels noticeably better, noticeably running cooler. Blurry.

7	6	I3-2100	GTX 970	8	50k	1080p	Very Low w/high texture quality, Anti-aliasing TAA 8x	17	0.4	25	0.4	Playable, but not very pretty. Frames drop, but not completely stop. Often sit around 22-23 when idling around the city.
8	7	I3-2101	GTX 970	8	50k	1080p	Very Low w/very low texture quality, Anti-aliasing TAA 2x	18	0.5	31	0.5	Doesn’t perform much better then previous run, but looks terrible.
9	8	I3-2102	GTX 970	8	100k	1080p	Very Low w/high texture quality, Anti-aliasing TAA 8x	10	0.1	21	0.1	CPU bottleneck. Not playable, hangs when bringing up tools, huge frame drops frequently.
10	9	2600x	RX 580	8	100k	1080p	Very Low, w/low level of detail, medium texture quality, FXAA	20	0.1	34	0.1	Hitting VRAM limits leading to low 1% lows and average age mins. Feels fine until you saturate VRAM, then it it complete freeze. Had freezes when looking down and seeing cars pass
11	10		RX 580	16	100k	1080p	Very Low, w/low level of detail, medium texture quality, FXAA	23	1.4	32	2	Game feelings impressively better with additional ram. Avg FPS jumped by 3, lows 20% higher, and the build no longer completely freezes. Adding additional ram did not improve results as usage remained about the same.
12	11	2600x	RX 6600	16	100k	1080p	Low, Low SMAA, Dynamic Resolution Disabled	21	3	27	2	Feels good and looks great because dynamic resolution is off. Though lows are bad during camera pans, feels good during normal gameplay
13	12		RX 6600	16	100k	1080p	Very Low, w/low level of detail, medium texture quality, FXAA,	23	0.8	31	0.8	Doesn't feel dramatically different then previous settings, but looks significantly worst.
