This must be one of the worst-developed games in the last ten years. If a high-end PC can't run it, they did a shitty job designing it, and the graphics are not great. They spent zero time optimizing it.
So, another Bethesda game?
Pretty much
But we're a decade past where that's good enough. "Another Bethesda game" at that same Bethesda quality level now is a trash game.
I'm playing on Xbox gamepass and am pretty disappointed with the graphics (glad I didn't bother buying it on PC). The faces during dialogue look like they just upscaled obsidian slightly and slapped it in there.
I've played it for 50 hours now and have yet to experience a single issue. My PC is pretty beefy but nothing special. 12th Gen Intel processor, Radeon 6950 XT GPU, 16GB memory. Pretty bog standard gaming PC.
That's a $700 GPU that's bearly a year old.
Yeah it's a mid tier card, like I said beefy but nothing special.
It's far from mid tier. Midtier would be a 6600 XT.
Then what would you rate the 7900s?
7900 - Enthusiast
7800 - High end
7700 - High mid range
7600 - Mid range
7400/7500 - Entry level
APUs - Budget
Lol mid tier. PC gamers are weird
Idk if arc was a thing when they were developing this one after FO4 at the time. Not defending, just saying that might’ve been more of a factor combined with Intel not having much of a market share at the current moment. Willing to bet they’ll get it working following release after a few months. Speculating though!
They already told us that their optimisations consist of them telling us to buy better hardware.
I have a 3070 and it runs great. The graphics look good on ultra/high settings too. I don’t even think the 3070 is considered high end anymore
Runs fine on my 3060ti also. This game is being brigaded really hard on Lemmy for some reason. It's by no means a perfect game but I've been having enough fun to keep going and I've had zero issues running it on ultra. Like actually zero. Shrug.
Good to know my 3060ti would be able to handle it. I’m not planning on getting it just because first person games and I do not get on well, but it’s good to know because this is what most games coming out now will be at.
Weirdly it can be third person whenever you want? I'm not trying to sell you on it. But it's not strictly first person, which I didn't know before starting it.
Different standards I guess. I have a 5800X and 3080 Ti and I have trouble getting it to run at 90 FPS minimum outdoors.
Definitely different standards. I mean no criticism, but I in no way require 90fps minimum.
That's because 90fps is a ridiculous "standard" to expect.
Doubt
lmao okay, you keep doubting
AKSCHULLY you cannot have fun because we former redditors decided so!!!
Just ignore them, some of these guys will claim a game sub 144 fps is unplayable, even in single player.
It does make me laugh how entitled the PCMR has become, people complaining that they can only get a game running at around 80 FPS, well beyond what's needed for smooth gameplay, and the like.
Exactly, I'm just waiting for some delusional dude to go "omg you don't even have a 4090?" In these comments soon, maybe call a 4080 or 4080Ti "low-end".
Doubt
