[2021] Alpha 20 performance.

Looks bad based on what exactly? Do you have access to the current unstable version?

It's the streamer weekend. I watched a stream. I know the streamers hardware, and the streamer showed ultra settings and medium settings.

Then you should be aware of how streaming takes extra CPU and GPU resources, and can reduce client performance. You also aren't aware of what other software they may be running in the background that could be interfering.

Basically you're forming an opinion an a weak platform without hard supporting evidence.

Maybe try this again after you have access, and can do some hard comparisons with actual metrics and clean data.

Tests on my 1060 system haven't shown any notable decreases in performance. Pretty sure your 980 will perform better than my entry-level card.

I haven't done any a20 tests on my low-end system yet, but I do have plans to. Just been so busy at work I haven't had time.
That should run ok for the most part on medium-low settings. The GPU is fine at 1080p, and the new optimizations will be a big benefit for players like yourself with only 8GB RAM. I am not sure on the CPU though. I have an i7-3930k to test on, and will probably be doing benchmarks on it over the next couple weeks. I also plan to test on an old Q6600 with a GTX 650.
