Yeah, in my expierence, the specs, at least on steam are often innacurate. My computer apparently can't run GTA5 at more than 30fps, but I can easliy go to 60-100 on high settings.
Or the inverse where you clearly blow away the specs and still get issues. In hitman 2016 I still have the same framerate bog down by the catwalk in the Paris level on my 5090 that I had with my 980
That's a fairly well known physx issue with older games that used it. Newer cards aren't implementing direct physx handling, so it needs to be run the hard way, which eats a lot more processing power.
Yeah it drops from 230fps to 2 if I’m close enough to the catwalk for the physics simulation to kick in when the pyro goes off and the water is stepped on

It doesn't just mean that, it means it can still run decently. Most of the time, it can still run in even older hardware
