Curious if you can name one thing Starfield is doing that wasn't possible in a game from 2017.
Texture resolution has not considerably effected performance since the 90s.
Changing graphics settings in this game barely effects performance anyway.
Wtf are you talking about, nobody uses SSAA these days. TAA has basically no performance penalty and FSR has a performance improvement when used.
If you're going to try and argue this point at least understand what's going on.
The game is not doing anything that other games haven't achieved in a more performant way. They have created a teetering mess of a game that barely runs.
You're being disingenuous mate. On a machine with adequate VRAM there is zero performance difference.
ohhhh so IT DOES affect performance at all 😱
Only if you run out of VRAM. If there's sufficient VRAM the frame rate barely changes between Lowest and Highest texture quality.
lol. try to play a game with 4K textures in 4K on a NVIDIA graphics card with not enough vram and you see how it will affect your performance 😅
I wouldn't say that Starfield is optimized as hell, but I think it runs reasonably and many people will fall flat on their asses in the next months because they will realize that their beloved "high end rig" is mostly dated as fuck.
To run games on newer engines (like UE5) with acceptable framerates and details you need a combination of modern components and not just a "beefy" gpu...
So yeah get used to low framerates if you still have components from like 4 years ago
That's sound like you are cpu bound...
If a 5950 is CPU bound then the game is badly optimised.
I don't know and I don't care what is wrong with your system but the amd driver tells me I'm averaging at 87fps with high details on a 5800X and a radeon 6900, a system that is now two years old and I think this is just fine for 1440p.
So yeah the game is not unoptimized, sure could use a few patches and performance will get better (remember it's a fucking bethesda game for christ's sake...) but for many people the truth will be to upgrade their rig or play on xbox
The game might be much more CPU bound on Nvidia cards. Probably due to shitty Nvidia drivers.
I have a 5800X paired with a 3080 Ti and I can't get my frame rate to go any higher than 60s in cities.
sorry to hear that, no problems here with AMD card but I've been team AMD all my life so I have no expierence in NVIDIA Cards and their drivers
