Starfield's numbers have swollen in early access on streaming and gaming platforms - and the global release is yet to take place.

I'm watching a streamer play the game, and what I see looks like I'd have some fun, and others probably feel the same way.

I'm just not interested in playing at like 30fps on a 3080. Maybe some patches or driver updates can improve things and I'll check it out in the Steam Winter Sale or something.

I heard this is because NVIDIA didn’t fund optimizations. AMD did so it’s running a lot better for them. I said fuck it and bought an Xbox with 2 year payment plan and game pass included. Cause no way my 1080ti is ever gonna play this game that good I don’t think. End of an era.

1080ti could’ve been a solid 30fps experience…

Not what I’m hearing. Maybe after some more patches and a new driver.

My 980 is pulling 30 fps with most things on medium and high, and shadows on low because it has the most effect on performance. Also turn off resolution scaling, for nvidia at least, don't know about AMD cards.

With resolution scaling it doesn't matter if you're using AMD or Nvidia, it's doing the same thing and looks the same on both vendors.

If your GPU supports it (RTX cards), you can mod DLSS into the game and then get (supposedly) better image quality, on the same level of scaling as the non-modded FSR2, or potentially lowering the scaling even more, for better performance, while still getting a comparable image as a higher FSR2 preset.

Wow! Good job getting your 980 to run this! Gives me hope for playing on my PC with cross save in the future!!
