    Starfield hardware thread

    As I have been saying for a while this game was going to be CPU heavy in NPC heavy areas. This is seen in Fallout 4:
    https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/th...ults.18946938/

    It transpires the game can be very CPU intensive:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiIQpvpdXLc

    That review tests the recommended hardware and CPU scaling. Here are some screenshots:

    Some more testing on consoles:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlStOHRI56o

    The consoles can hold 30FPS but not in cities. It seems areas with lots of NPCs and firefights are CPU limited:

    I expect some improvements with optimisation going forwards. (hopefully!)

    I'm here to add the obligatory "it runs on steamdeck!" comment...
    But it's not good... Like 800p at half res scaling =25fps "not good"


    1440p with a 3060ti is disappointing

    At least 10fps

    I just skimmed that digital trends article, high preset Defaults to using FSR2 rather than full res!

    It's an AMD sponsored title and Nvidia needs to release drivers too:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGL3fczSXaI

    The RX6700XT thrashes the RTX3060TI ATM. It might be a good excuse for me to upgrade!

    Seems OK if you look on OcUK forums.

    Re: Starfield hardware thread

    I have a RX6700XT and it is all over games in 1440p but think I will wait a bit for Starfield to be a bit more optimised before I purchase

    But the RTX3060TI/RX6700XT are getting on a bit now,so it will be the case of dropping settings down to medium or high.

    CPU benchmarks:
    https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Starf...ungen-1428119/

    Seems to scale with RAM speeds like Fallout 4 and has a preference for Intel CPUs.

    Its a very taxing game and optimised to run on AMD dGPUs.

    That above video tests that configuration. But if you look at post 10,the game seems to have a preference for Intel CPUs and high RAM speeds.

    Fallout 4 showed the same preference for RAM speed.

    Another test:
    https://www.computerbase.de/2023-09/...chmark-test/3/

    AMD cards are ahead,but seem CPU limited at 1080p by the Ryzen 7 7800X3D?

    Another performance test:

    Nvidia cards do seem to have some performance issues.
