I don’t know why he’s making this statement. Blizzard doesn’t make games that don’t nickel and dime you, much less ones people feel are worth paying extra for or even worth their cost.
By today’s standards, that’s a pretty weak CPU at this point. I upgraded from mine not long after the Gamers Nexus review that pegged it at about the same performance as a 10th gen i3. I was already planning to upgrade at that point, but it really was a kicker.
It’s a little easier when the machine is dedicated to that and only that. The OS doesn’t have all this extra crap running in the background that takes resources from the game because it was designed for that in mind.
At best you’re looking at a 10% performance penalty, closer to the 1-3% range without known bad background software.
I hope he realizes that’s not how it works. Companies own domains they don’t use for this exact reason. Hell, most major companies own hundreds of misspelled versions of their domains across many TLDs for user safety.
At the same time my 3080 runs these games just fine with 60-90 fps at 4k with high settings. Don’t need more than that for games that aren’t competitive.
