No one told me before I bought it, and it's not mentioned on the steam store, see the point of the specs. So I don't quite understand what you mean with "if they hadn't told people", because they sure didn't unless you're on that specific social media they did it on.

I've watched all those feature videos before and they don't mention that I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Anyways I don't want to occupy your time and argue, in the end I'm just super miffed and disappointed because I had a free weekend for once and was looking forward to binging CS2.

They did put out an announcement that they had "missed their performance targets", and that made news.

It's fair to be disappointed, though. There ARE serious issues here. The game can be made to run acceptably (I went and dug up a comparable card to your 2080 and yeah, it's a 1080p30 game there, but it works). That takes significant fiddling in their advanced menu, and there are significant visual compromises to be made.

At the very least, their default presets should have been tuned differently. That would have been free and prevented the whole "it runs at 20fps on my 4090 on low" frustration with no additional development effort. Not to say that they shouldn't be patching this up a LOT going forward, but they had tools to mitigate that they're not using, which is very confusing.
