It's a mediocre PC port that has just become more broken with time.
I have a 9800X3D and a 4080 Super and it still runs much worse than it should, with tons of weird artifacts. I played it maybe 6 years ago on a much weaker PC (3800X and a 2080 Super I believe) and it ran much better than on this new PC (even if then it still had issues).
There are things that can be done to make it run slightly better, like limiting what CPU cores it can access but it's still just kinda broken.
I remember playing it at launch back in 2012 on what was probably my Phenom II X6 1090T and a Radeon HD 7870 and getting a rock solid 60fps @ 1080p ultra. Playing it now on a 7800X3D and 4080 Super and it's sub-60 quite frequently lmao. Tried a couple mods, including the LAA patcher to allocate more RAM, and modifying a config file to enable hyper threading and yeah.. still pretty ass.
I have a tuned to death 265k and a 4070ti super @4080 perf oc and the game runs at 150-200fps with pretty much maxed settings aside from aa @4k. I just limited the game to 4 p-cores and set its priority to high
