They just gimped the older cards unnecessarily to push more Maxwell sales. Within 12 months,they had tweaked the game to run better on Kepler,and AMD made some of their own fixes,so you could tweak it via the drivers to make it run better with no real visual degradation. IIRC,what was hilarious was because of the AMD driver tweaks you could apply,AMD GCN cards could run the game better than Kepler cards which you couldn't reduce tessellation on. After a lot of complaints they included further tweaking options for tessellation and other effects.
If its indeed Ampere being pictured,then for everyone else its best not to buy the game for six months,as by then performance will be fixed on the other cards. I personally hope its another Turing card otherwise there will be many sore Turing owners here too.
