Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC' (www.pcgamer.com)

Like 40-45fps? I've seen a couple people say this now, but every outlet I have seen benchmark performance contradicts it. I don't consider 40fps smooth at all, but I guess consoles even have to suffer with 30fps in some cases, so a lot of people are okay with it.

Consoles dictate a lot of triple A games, that's where the biggest profit is and why PC is an after thought like it was here.

I actually never pulled up an FPS meter as it has been so smooth I never felt the need to check. I'll see when I get home later what it actually is in neon or somewhere "busy."

Do you have motion blur on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll never understand why developers add stuff that make the game look so much worse...

Looking at you chromatic aberration, motion blur, film grain, vignette...

The first thing I do with a new game is check graphics settings and nuke that extra garbage lol

Yup like sure add it but at least disable it all by default, but motion blur does make low fps look better, if you can put up with the blur that is (I can't), it's used heavily on consoles for that reason.
