I was actually just thinking they should do this as an interim solution and then make optimized LODs to replace the automatic ones with. In fact, perhaps that would have been the thing to do instead of making advance apologies. Slightly suboptimal image quality at release would probably have been more tolerable than heinously bad performance.
For me it’s lack of driver support that’s keeping me from buying AMD cards. Has been for literal decades. I’ve never had a more unreal number of bluescreen crashes and black/frozen screen hangups than with AMD cards. Ever since switching to nVidia, maybe one per two years. Every now and then I try AMD again when replacing a card (last in 2016 when the RX480 was touted as a bargain) but the story remains the same.
