I have a merely 3 year old PC I bought for 1500€ a 5600x and 3060ti, yet it for some reason can't run cronos, a single player linear game, on low settings without constant lags

The whole game consists of grayscale. There is simply nothing that would require the computing power

And its not really a realistic progress of computing requirements, while they state that my entry level ryzen 5 5600x can run it on optimal settings, for some reason they require an extremely up to date GPU, which just tells me that they just crammed in every kind of graphics tech so their Grayscale smog looks better

3060 TI was a midrange card when it released, I wouldn't expect it to still be viable. You might have bought it 3 years ago, but it released at the end of 2020. So almost 5 years old at this point. With GPU development rates being what they are, that's a long time.

If you still want to get the most out of it: Lower the resolution, this helps a lot. Running at 1080p should probably work just fine. Also check out your memory bandwidth, that is usually the bottleneck for getting the most out of an 5600x. Overclock it if you can, the higher the memory clock, the better it will be.

For the future, my experience is the 70 TI holds up a little bit better than the 60 TI. But this can differ per gen of course. And because of "AI" GPU prices have gone through the roof, so fuck AI.

Lower the resolution,

I am not going to run a game on 720p, just because I want to play games on my then 800€ GPU

That generation was notoriously overpriced due to covid restrictions. Just because you spent that much doesn't mean it can handle what you think. End story, the game doesn't sound optimized, so you'll have to make some concessions to get it to run better.
