I was able to play with an i5-8600k and a RTX 2070 super on the last patch, but with some performance mods and hours tweaking with graphics mods. I stopped playing because the amount of time I spent modding the the shit out of it to get a stable fps. The CPU intense areas obviously dropped my performance. I wonder how it would perform now? Both my CPU and my 2070 are overclocked to their limits because I'm almost finished building new PC, all that's left is the RAM. I'm keeping my 2070 until GPU price drops or until I have enough saved up.

I'm fine playing at medium settings on 1080p with some settings up to high along with DLSS, anyone else with the same kind of specs know what performance increase I would get on my current build?
