Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don't put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

People also need to stop calling 40fps unplayable. They expect their 3050 to run every game at 120fps on Ultra.

Uh no. People are barely doing 30 fps in the lowest settings with this game

It's reasonable to expect high framerates in 2023. If people want the game to run smooth there's nothing wrong with that. Hell, doom eternal was a Bethesda game and it looked gorgeous and ran like butter, so we know they can pull it off.

Bethesda was the publisher of Doom Eternal and had nothing to do with the engine.

Fair point. But still, if the doom eternal engine puts theirs to shame so easily, maybe they should have done some more work on their engine.

A lot of people also seem to not know that you can't just spend 80% of your budget on a graphics card and buy whatever CPU you can afford with whatever is left.

I have a 3080 and the game runs noticeably worse in the cities than it does in small rooms. And that's with everything at low-medium and 75% rendering resolution which seems ridiculous. And the game doesn't even look that good.

I've heard the game is bottlenecked by the CPU. What do you have?

[–] Saganastic@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I have a ryzen 3900x. It's never been the bottleneck for me before. I can have 20 applications open while playing most games without a hiccup.

I have high standards, but still, there's no reason starfield should perform so much worse than other modern games.
