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)

Kiss my ass Todd, my 6700xt and Ryzen 5 5600x shouldn't have to run your game at 1440p native with low settings to get 60fps

Look man I'm not trying to defend Howard here or imply you're tech illiterate, or that all your issues clear up 100%, but have you by chance updated your driver's? Mine were out of date enough starfield threw up a warning which I ignored and was not having a good experience with the same as you(iunno your ram or storage config but I was running on an average NVME and 32 gigs ram with 5600x and 6700xt). But after I updated a lot of the issues smoothed out, not all, but most. At 60 fps average with a mix of med high at 1080p though. Maybe worth a try?

I've checked for new drivers daily since the game came our, the ones I have are from mid-august though so maybe I'll double check again

I'm on a 5700xt and game runs around 60 fps at 1080p everything cranked and no FSR or resolution scale applied, so I'd say either your drivers are out of date or something else is wrong there imo

I'll have to double check, nothing immediately stands out as wrong, the game is on an NVME, I'm running 3600mhz cl14 memory, and I just redid the thermal paste on my CPU. With all that being said, most other games I play get 100+fps, including Forza Horizon 5 with its known memory leak issue and Battlefield 5, so I don't think anything is wrong with the system
