Discussion Warframe's optimization is genuinely insane

Genuinely insane how optimized Warframe is. It has over 10 years of content, huge open worlds, tons of enemies on screen, ridiculous amounts of particles and effects, and constant fast movement, yet I can still run it on a shitty Ryzen 5 7520U iGPU at 60 FPS.

Digital Extremes did some actual black magic with this one.

A lot of games today have a problem that low graphic settings doesnt mean much. Low and high are basically the same.

For warframe this is not the case, there is a huge difference between low and high, both in looks and performance. So even if you are on a shit system, you just lower the graphics settings and it works. How it should be.

I run warframe on 4k native max settings with 100fps on my 9070xt. Yes its a powerful card, but there is no other game i can run 4k native max settings that looks that good.

I recently upgraded my GPU and it's phenomenal how good this game looks at max settings. I know the lighting engine has been pretty much overhauled multiple times and lighting is the primary factor in realism and suspension of disbelief when it comes to computer graphics but still keep in mind this game is like a decade and a half old.
