Which uh... which exact piece of media is that?
There is so much Batman and related stuff... I don't even know if you're referring to a comic or a tv show or an animated movie or what.

Two clowns walk into a bar at the same time, trying to fit through the doorway simultaneously.
Clown 1: Look at this clown!
Clown 2: honks nose, spritizes Clown 1 with water from lapel flower, silently does dramatic crying face emote/pantomime
Camera pans to all the bar patrons
... They are all clowns.
... do they skill make wallpaper glue out of potato based starches?
I'm honestly quite interested to see how well the Switch 2 handles CP77.
Also, I edited a bit and added more to my comment likely as or after you made yours.

This says a 4060ti can do Dark Ages at about 50fps at 1080p.
Looking at other benchmarks, it ... oddly looks like the 8gb vs 16gb version of the 4060ti perform essentially exactly the same
I mean I guess that counts if you're a 1080p person... I tend to think of 1440p 60fps, everything on 'ultra', as a minimum threshold these days for 'running ray tracing well', as raytracing becomes exponentially more performance costly as you go above 1080p.... which is the whole reason why modern frame upscaling and framegen had to be invented.
A 4060ti cannot run Doom Dark Ages, 1440p at 60 fps. Unless you turn down some other graphics settings.. I am not seeing that in any benchmarks.
If 1080p is your benchmark than sure, I guess a 4060ti can almost run at 60 fps.
Also... I am using currently actually existing prices, not MSRP, with actually existing 'buy now' stock... as my basis for the previous statement.
There are very, very few 4060tis (16gb) actually available new right now, $600 is the lowest US price I am seeing, though there are a good number on eBay going for around $550, so I guess there's another technical 'you got me on that one.'
The only stuff that can run ray tracing well (60fps or better, well) are currently GPUs that cost ... $600 if you're lucky, more like starting at $825 or $850, going up to $2000+.
This is independent of AMD or Nvidia, at this point. Yes, you can get better RT out of an Nvidia card, but you'll be paying significantly more.
What you mean to say is: Games with forced RT instead of actual graphics options force you into the Nvidia monopoly.
...
Handhelds can't handle RT.
Like just none, barring adding on an eGPU.
Switch 2 could be an exception, but I doubt it'll be able to do more than 30fps with RT on, with say, Cyberpunk 2077.
The only reason consoles can handle RT at all is because they use checkerboard rendering, which is basically sort of a mix between using interpolated frames and also upscaling.
480p fully renders each frame, 480i only updates half the pixels on the screen each frame, usually with alternating scanlines.
Checkerboard rendering is more or less another way of doing that, but in a checkerboard pattern, that also upscales by a factor of two... so when a console says its outputting at 4k, thats true, but it isn't rendering at 4k.
...
The steam deck overlay does have a half rate shader rendering option, I have found this helpful in certain games/emulators... though sometimes it makes too much of the game look like too much ass, when it is either heavily reliant on shaders and/or they are wildly unoptimized.
It is theoretically possible that this option could help at least somewhat... the author mentions trying deckyframegen on a game that just came out, apparently having no idea that decky framegen needs time to... you know, incorperate some other mod that figures out how to hack FSR into the game, or do it themselves.
Either that, or go into the game's config files and see if there is some value or toggle that can be flipped to just actually turn RT off... which I guess at this point just is what people would and have called a 'graphics mod' for many other games where something like this is done.
...
Nvidia and Unreal heavily pushing RT is a market strategy to ensure the monopoly power of Nvidia, and the further usage of UE5.
...
EDIT: Looks like idTech 8 doesn't normally/fully support Vulkan on Linux.
If they wanted to make a release that works without RT, they could, they'd just have to rip out all the RT stuff and make a version compatible with Vulkan-base, and that looks like it would run well on AMD GPUs / a Deck, but that apparently was not a launch priority for them.
Which is kind of weird, because idTech7 was... only Vulkan, on PC... and did support RayTracing, and Doom Eternal, with RayTracing, did run decently well on high end AMD GPUs of the time (6800, 6900, etc), despite having less and less advanced RT cores than the Nvidia 3000 series.
Sorry I'm late!
... What? You don't just eat them outta the can?
MAGA literally is a cult.
It is far beyond just... extreme opinions.
It.
Is.
A.
Cult.
.. And entirely seriously, this is an excellent way to get people out of it.
After all the shit I've been through with my own family over MAGA bullshit, I have less than no empathy for these delusional dictator dick munchers, but I'm glad somebody else is doing this.
... dear... god...
You can also just wear a chest rig, without pants...
Also, I am now just remebering these exist: Utilikilt.
I'd call that optimistic, but plausible.
If Trump just goes full Hitler's last days ala Downfall, everyone will just keep awkwardly and dangerously screaming at each other when not in front of him, untill he finally just actually croaks.
You got it.
Its time to stop acting like all game devs are somehow totally free of responsibility from all this.
I say this as a person who at least used to personally know game devs, mod devs, and I have been modding (as in making the mods) games since the mid 00's.
Yes, of course management is shitheads.
But there are many game devs who don't whore themselves out to corpos they know will do this dumb shit.
There are many indie or AA or other devs who build games that are a little bit less graphically fancy, but run 3x as fast.
Go right now and play Titanfall 2, built on a fork of the Portal 2 Source Engine variant, and tell me that any modern, comparable game really looks like it is so much more impressive it needs all the horsepower and cost that goes into getting it to run at the same resolution and framerate.
If people wanna know more about the technicals of how optimization in games is largely a lost art now, go check Threat Interactive on youtube, that guy does an amazing job breaking this stuff down.
... and your choice of either topped with cheese wiz, or a single slice of american kraft 'cheese' melted over the whole thing.
