Well actually they're caused by people with guns. Nothing wrong in doing something about both.

According to the posted picture this should happen at 1440p with >14GB VRAM used. It doesn't. 4k native is unplayable territory for every 12GB card anyway
DLSS is a thing thou
If you'd red the whole thing you'd found that those numbers are overblown. Fps of a 4070 should tank in 1440p and run out of VRAM but doesn't.
Even with PT it's fine
Optimization is supposedly fine because it looks the part. Optimization doesn't mean make everything run on old hardware. It means make it run as well as possible. There's only so much you can do while retaining the fidelity they're going for.
Or maybe they just disagree with the "common accepted minimum requirements" (please link your source) as they've done before.
Ah I see. Graphics didn't get any more complex and needed stronger hardware before raytracing was introduced. There isn't any way to make a game demanding and look pretty without raytracing.
If you think it's not acceptable, then... Don't accept it I guess?
Maybe the graphics are that intense, even at whatever they chose to call "medium". Try "low" then and see how those work out.
You are worked up about linguistics because it's nothing more to you at the moment. Just because you're used to run every other game at "high" or whatever, doesn't mean this different game has to be the same.
I refuse to agree with "my midrange GPU has to be able to run everything at Ultra for #random number# of years or I am going ballistics". I want progress. That's what I buy new hardware for every few years. If you want graphics to be stuck and don't advance in any meaningful way, get a console.
You still don't know what medium means. Until you do it's pretty pointless to get worked up about linguistics.
You'll be able to play a new game with state of the art graphics at medium settings with a mid range GPU from 3 years ago. Seems fine to me.
We don't know what medium settings actually mean. It may still look amazing.
For Control (2019) the first released minium system requirements had a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 from 2016. This was later lowered but that's pretty much in line with what we see now. They're aiming for next gen graphics. It worked for Control. The game was used as a benchmark for raytracing for years.

"when has the EU ever done anything for us"
Yeah I am rocking a 4070 and it's amazing in Alan Wake 2. The only 4000 series card to consider, if you don't want to spend fuck you money.
But if you want "future proof" you'll need to go higher. And obviously no current or last gen AMD card is future proof at all. Ray tracing is the future. There, I said it.
