Unless you're working with a particular art style or setup that's purposefully easy to render, most Triple-A games are going to take a knock to both performance and presentation. We've seen how to do it right (Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus being one such example) and we've seen plenty of ways to screw it up (such as a near unplayable version of Ark: Survival Evolved).
