I just played Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on an Nvidia RTX 4080 Super - and this is the GPU you want for every triple-A game

I was once a strong advocate for sticking with Nvidia's high-end RTX 3000 series GPUs (in my case the RTX 3080 Ti), but it turns out I was wrong. Using the Asus TUF RTX 4080 Super OC Edition graphics card across multiple titles has completely swayed my opinion on the matter, and out of everything I played, MachineGames' Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the main reason why I'm recommending this GPU.

If you've ever wanted a GPU that truly offers a 'set and forget' experience, then the RTX 4080 Super is perfect - on maximum graphics settings at 5120x1440 (a demanding resolution for reference), I consistently attained frame rates between 85 and 100 frames per second with DLSS 'Quality' enabled. It gets much better when enabling Frame Generation (especially at 4K and 1440p which I'll dive into later on), which in some cases isn't a major necessity unless you have ray tracing or full path tracing on (and trust me, you'll want to leave that off in this game, as it absolutely tanks performance for very little benefit).
