The problem is not in rendering the world for "miles". My rig is perfectly fine with Witcher 3 open world maps on very high settings. It just needs more optimization of how it uses ram.
Im not an expert but it seems as that well known and fairly standard issue with early releases.
I'm just drawing a comparison between D:OS2, which intelligently uses fog of war, and this game. Fog of war should at least be an option because it would help low-to-mid tier PCs tremendously. Of course they're different engines, but something tells me that optimization isn't going to somehow take the game from being an absolute monster of a resource hog making minimum specs near unplayable, to a smooth experience at something like medium settings. I really hope that I'm wrong and that the disparity in performance will dramatically improve by the time we get a full release, since I'm willing to bet that at least half of the current BG3 playerbase isn't playing on an absolute titan of a computer.
