Comment on Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC'

  So, this system runs it fine? Good to know. I was worried that my computer would not be able to run it smoothly, but now no worries at all.

    I've got an 8086K and 3080, running on a 4K screen - with Ultra settings and FSR of 80% I'm getting 35-40fps, which honestly doesn't feel too bad. It's noticable sometimes but it's a lot smoother than the numbers suggest.

    Because my CPU is a little long in the tooth, I've gone probably a bit hard on the visuals, but my framerate didn't improve much by lowering it. The engine itself has never really liked going past 60fps, so I don't know why people expected to be able to run 100+ frames at 4k or something.

      Sorry mate but 35fps on a 3080 with FSR is just objectively bad performance.

      Starfield is not doing anything in terms of graphics or gameplay that other games that run 3-4 times as well aren’t doing.

        That’s because they’re CPU limited, mate.

        Easy 1440p60 on ultra everything with no scaling on my 3090. Frequently up in the 80-90 FPS range. This game runs fine. It’s not a “teetering mess” as you say.

      for me the game runs pretty well with 90+ fps on high and activated fsr2.

      5800x 3D, 64 gigs of ram and a 6900XT I shot cheap during the great gpu collapse. And by the looks of the game this seems pretty reasonable to me.

        AMD users are having a better time with it, unsurprisingly. I wish I hadn’t gone for Nvidia but too late for that.

    I've got that but with a 4080 - no issues.

    I admittedly feel like I went full retard on my build and seriously hope these specs aren't what's necessary...

      Hey at least you don’t have to upgrade for a while, could probably run it for another yr if todd is generous

  You had me in the first sentence, and then I realized it was sarcasm. 🤪 I’m running a similar rig, but it’s primarily for rendering work, etc., so for juuust a second there, I wondered if it was falling behind. 😅🤓
