According to Bethesda Support, even the Intel Arc A770 GPU does not meet Starfield’s PC minimum requirements.

    Poorly optimized console to pc port that runs horribly on even a high end pc.

    Bethesda thinks it’s the next Crysis. As the game struggles on current PC hardware like Crysis did when it came out, except there is no huge leap in graphic quality over existing, smoothly performing games.

      It just looks so generic, from the footage I’ve seen color isn’t even really there, just the regular old brown and gray landscape everywhere.

      If it were even graphically interesting in any way, I might be more understanding, but this really isn’t it.

        I’m not saying you’re necessarily wrong, but I don’t think that computers struggle based on the colours lol

          My man, I know how computers work, I meant that the game looks so fucking bland, that it doesn’t even deserve to be given the “Woops, your rig is too weak” treatment, because there is simply nothing interesting to look at, that would give it the right to do so.

        Yeah, it’s kinda drab in a lot of places. Which is a shame, because I really love the cassette futurism/NASApunk aesthetic.

          Pretty simply. Got you some gaming devices that want their software? Heres a background process. Browser allowed to autoupdate? Have a background process. RGB controller? Background process baybeeee. Speedfan so you can get that smooth sound when you’re gaming instead of that jet engine for a 2c bump? That’s right, here’s your process. Hell, playing in Steam? There’s multiple processes.

          Did you never wonder why people that do game/hardware reviews always have a pristine desktop? Damned near everything you install now has a vampiric process to “help it run better”. Its why you can open perfmon and see IO usage when you’re sitting idle on the desktop.

        Lol I have a ton of stuff installed on my system and have had very few issues playing it on a 3080ti. Reading Steam comments on performance, it seems that a fast SSD or NVME is what makes the biggest performance difference.

        lol @ these downvotes. I’m running a 3070 with 60-120 fps on ultra/high settings. People here are even more salty than Redditors.

          Yeah, my only gripe is I can’t play on linux because nvidia hates linux but that isn’t Bethesdas fault.

            The steam deck settings give it PS2 graphics. 1280x800 15-30FPS maximum.

            My 2070 Super + Ryzen 3700x are fine at Medium, 35-75FPS 1440p.
