It runs at 30fps on all the lowest settings on a 2070 with 64gb ram and an i9-12900K.
It is quite possibly the worst performing game I have ever seen. It’s a piece of crap.
Glad I didn’t pay for this shit. And I will not. 🏴☠️ The writing and worldbuilding is probably AI and gutter tier liberal political takes anyway.
I am absolutely stunned by just how badly this thing runs like omfg I run Elden Ring at 120fps at the same resolution. What the fuck is wrong at Bethesda? I’m so mad about this I just played Armoured Core at a rock solid 144fps and it is so jarring to go from that to this absolutely horrific performance.

We can’t see whatever slur you decided to write.
It’s incredible that someone critiquing a videogame you’ve decided you bootlick for would drive you to behave this way.
get bopped nerd
I’m playing it at 1440p on a 2070 super and ryzen 5 3600, with 32gb ram. I haven’t touched any settings and it seems to be running great. Although i haven’t actually checked my frame count and I’m not very fps sensitive in the first place so I dunno
Bout the same for me with a 5700xt, 3700x and 16gb ram. Get a solid 35-45 at 1440p on medium/high (wee bit less than I got I’m bg3) though I’m gonna need to dick around with the rendering scale to get rid of distant blurriness. I’m usually a gen or 2 behind on GPU so maybe I’m just used to it at this stage.
There are times I’m unhappy to be right about something I was being pessimistic about, I’ll admit this isn’t really one of those times
Bethesda and
have had a massive ego problem for almost 2 decades now and they’ve been past their prime since before Oblivion, kinda hope they eat shit on this a bitThis game lets you “do everything” but it has giant mechs that aren’t able to be piloted while Armored Core 6 just lets you pilot the giant mech and does that well, I know which I prefer
There are no rovers, no bikes, no jeeps, and no shuttles. You can’t choose where to land your ship or fly it on the planet at all. It lands somewhere, and you have to walk to your destination (Bouncy silly jetpacks don’t count).
Like come on Elite Dangerous has shitty little buggies and it’s a decade old game made with beer money.
Might be something to do with hardware. My friends have been getting 60-70, though Idk what hardware they have. Or drivers?
That’s some impressively bad performance.
Don’t worry the community will fix it for them for free over the next two years.
Everything I’m hearing about this game is exactly what I expected from it. Bland, soulless, empty, buggy as hell, terrible writing, etc.
I can’t even enjoy being smug anymore, though. I don’t like being smug now. It feels bad.
I feel like Starfield shows us in real time why gamers are so reactionary and mindlessly uncritical and the power of propaganda. They will buy anything as long as you tell them what they want to hear. They watch 1 or 2 commercials and poof! Their decade or so of lived experience with Bethesda being shitty evaporates. Tod D. Howard wins again
I was watching streams all day yesterday while I had a torrent going. After a few hours of watching I just cancelled the download. It’s bad.
Bland, soulless, empty, buggy as hell, terrible writing, etc.
capitalism is better than socialism if you ignore how all its products are soulless garbage
Same. I stopped talking about it with my friends because I was incredulous they’d decided to make a new IP, incredulous they’d picked something so bland I’ve been calling it “Corporate Memphis in Space”, and incredulous that basedon what I’m seeing on discord it’s exactly what I thought it would be - Empty, colorless, no soul or substance at all. Space is just a bunch of loading screens as you go from one barren grey planet with one point of interest to another barren grey planet with one point of interest. You don’t really fly your ship at all, except to point it’s nose at badguy ships while you hold down the fire button.
I wasn’t expecting full of Elite Dangerous, but I was expecting you to actually be able to fly and land the space ship somehow.
Wait, you don’t even fly the ship? So it’s more like Outer Worlds but with procedurally generated planet dungeons? Jesus.
ALSO: I want to point out that you can totally do space race aesthetics and have it look amazing, because Prey did it back in 2017
Afaik the only flying you do is in space combat, which is sort of a basic X-wing vs. TIE fighter kind of thing.
Just gonna point out that Prey was going for a very, very different aesthetic than Starfield. Prey is Art Deco, a style popular in the 1910’s-1930’s not “space race.” Starfield is definitely going for a more “NASA-punk” aesthetic.
Whether it achieves that well, I can’t say, I only played like an hour and a half before I got bored and felt no desire to go back. I like the space suit designs though—chunky tech is great.
The concept artists of Prey explicitly described it as Neo Deco, a revival of the Art Deco style. But again, that’s only the front end of the station. The nuts and bolts stuff, the GUTS and the Psychotronics laboratory, etc. all have that bulky 1960s/1970s NASA tech look to them, with a hefty dose of Soviet satellite/rocket aesthetics to boot. Point is, everything looks functional but is also layered with style and design that tells a story. Starfield just looks uninspired.
supposedly its better on Radeon cards until they fuckin fix it, because god forbid they test this shit out before hand instead of just assuming all is good because they are running them on $5000 PCs.
I have a Radeon card and if this is true I do not want to know how bad it runs on nvidia
It’s impressive how bad the performance is. I had to use AMD Adrenalin to limit it to 60fps to stop it from crashing immediately. Not that it was running higher than 20 at that point anyway.
All settings to lowest. Had to lower my monitor’s resolution to 1080p because the game doesn’t have a normal fullscreen option, only borderless, and no way to downscale.
After all of that it runs at a buttery 25-30fps looking worse than Skyrim which can run at 144 without a second thought. I genuinely don’t understand what the fuck they did, low settings look maybe equivalent to medium on Skyrim, a 12 year old game, while running so much worse.
My graphics card certainly isn’t the newest but there is absolutely no reason it shouldn’t be able to run any game coming out now at least on low.
its performance in terms of being good is absolute shit as well as far as i’m seeing
The year is 2784. What’s left of humankind after the water wars, wildfires, rising sea levels, wet bulb events, and category 10 hurricanes of the past 700 years has managed to leave the solar system on a generation ship. The Elder Scrolls 14 has just come out after a tortured 36-year development cycle with 19 years dedicated to “rebuilding” the engine. It’s a Microsoft Holodeck exclusive. You go in and the first NPC you see clips through a boulder and starts slowly sinking into the ground after clearing it while muttering to themselves about mudcrabs. The gamma setting is slightly off and there’s no way to adjust it. You start to move forward and the world hitches as trees pop in mere meters before you in ultra-low LOD, slowly coming into full detail over a few seconds.
I’m never preordering a Bethesda hologame again.
The Todd Howard AI installed in your neutral implant chuckles quietly.
Playing a pirated copy at 60 fps on 5800x/3070 near max settings using the DLSS mod scaling 720p up to 1440p in 21:9. Maybe I have bad taste but I’m enjoying it a lot. Similar to Fallout 4 but with much better writing. Le capitalism in space. Takes itself pretty seriously.
So far I’ve been able to
spoiler
agree to blow up a stolen ship for a corrupt official, lie to the pirates on board and pretend to be a pirate, get found out immediately when boarding. Then by luck I convinced them not to kill me with a difficult speech check, I agree to let them keep the ship and in exchange they give me an incriminating letter about the official. I then lie and tell the official that I blew it up and then report them to authorities.
Compared to Fallout 4 which consisted of “Go shoot these guys who are bad because they’re bad guys”, this is a breath of fresh air. The fact that you can talk to many enemies rather than kill on sight is very nice. The dialogue is revamped and speech checks are a series of luck-based dialogue choices that make it feel a lot less like “I think you should just give me everything for nothing in return”
Really this is all I’ve wanted in a Bethesda RPG. Compared to previous releases I’m comfortable saying that this is the most stable at launch so far. I’m a couple hours in and really haven’t seen many bugs beyond animation glitches.
If you like Bethesda RPGs I fail to see how you wouldn’t like this. Though the “$35 extra to play on labor day weekend” was scummy.
My PC should run it fine on 1440p (6800xt and i7-12700), but I will still wait for some patches. Especially the black levels in this game are a bit weird.
As a Morrowind lover who didn’t like Fallout 4…this feels a lot like Fallout 4. The universe seems dead, the loading screens and third person transitions make it feel small.
The lore is occasionally interesting so far but I actively hate all the factions while Morrowind even evil factions like the Morag Tong had fascinating justifications. The main quest is showing some interesting stuff but the side content Is. So. Bland.

FUCK
that’s way better than my rig
god damnit, i was hoping i could play the new bethesdagamemodding platform at potato quality ;_;It runs like assssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Pirate it and test before you drop money on this thing. I promise you the time/effort to torrent and be sure first might end up saving you regret.
Pirate it and test before you drop money on this thing
i have not bought a videogame in like 6 years lmao
but i appreciate the sentimentWell I assumed if it’s a “modding platform” to you that there’s an inevitable need to buy the thing due to various mods requiring latest versions and not working correctly with pirate copies etc etc.
it depends, bethesda games usually work fine for modding once the patches aren’t coming so fast so the pirated versions can keep up
PC Gaming is such a fuck I swear to God. My friend and I have been playing Armored Core 6 since launch. His PC has very slightly worse specs than mine. He has no crashes. I crash after every other mission and usually it doesn’t count as a mission complete when it happens
My brother told me it ran a lot better after moving it on his SSD
I know it sucks for some people, but this is definitely an AMD optimized game. And in the time I’ve spent playing it, other than some funny glitches and some lighting issues, it’s ran smooth on my all AMD system.
I was really surprised. I’m used to trying to play a game, only to read on a steam forum that it doesn’t play nice with AMD and there is no fix.
Jon Peddie Research (JPR) shows that AMD gained overall GPU market share in Q2 2023, while rivals Intel and NVIDIA declined. AMD’s GPU share increased 1.2% year-over-year to 26.9% in Q2.
So it sucks for 3/4 of people lol. AMD is big enough that anyone who can’t be bothered to make both run well should be blocked from all the marketplaces and starved for money. They clearly don’t deserve it.
Hedgie spotted
You’re literally following my posts (after your “hedgie circle jerk” outburst) to find other ways to call me a “hedgie” because I… checks notes… Quoted research on market share and said that anyone who can’t develop for both chip sets doesn’t even deserve money? Like a fairly pro-consumer if not outright leftist position?
I’d report you to get you banned but you’re such a fucking joke, it’s not even worth it.
This is about the worst way to go about things. What’s a great game that you wouldn’t expect?
I mean this in the nicest way possible but this doesn’t make sense to me, did you miss a word somewhere? Honestly, “wouldn’t expect what”?
Expect bad performance? Expect from Bethesda? Expect the politics OP mentioned? Or maybe you meant “a great game that surpassed expectations e.g BG3?”
