I'm not sure which side is the worst, but I know my 4690k at 4.6ghz and 980 at 1500mhz are performing well with 120fps at 1080p when I maxed out. But once I reached the lower levels of the starting area (before going outside), my FPS plummeted to 60-65. It became a real mess. I played for around three hours, and only about a third of that time stayed at or above 60fps. I'm glad I never spent money on it. (I try games before buying, just to support the developers, but only if they back me up.) Now it's deleted.
You're pointing out that the main problem isn't the CPU's power, but rather the way it was programmed. It's not that the game is overly complex, but because of poor coding and limited processing power. If it weren't that risky, I'd try it again. However, I've seen too many issues in those "products" to stick with just playing them now.
I had a satisfactory experience with DR3. Probably just a bit of luck.
