its now about how the game looks its about what features it uses to do its thing and how drivers on many platforms handle them.

this is also a reason why there are so many gfx driver patches which fix specific games...

its usually not the hardware but driver issues.

also, its infeasible for a solo dev to test on a plethora of platforms and device/driver combos, so any feedback from random internettians about performance can be really helpful to prevent breakage on platforms not available to the dev to test on.
