games

Read an article on lemmy that intel cpus have a performance issue for that game!

Saw the GamersNexus vid on performance benchmarks across a variety of graphics cards and I think I'll wait for a while before playing Starfield. I think the biggest problem with most games is that they aim to wow graphically and completely forget to optimize for a variety of hardware, especially PC.

Meanwhile I'm getting slightly better performance than that with a decade old computer that's just below the minimum specs lmao.

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.

30fps on all the lowest settings on a 2070 with 64gb ram and an i9-12900K.

FUCK

that's way better than my rig
god damnit, i was hoping i could play the new bethesda ~~game~~ modding platform at potato quality ;_;

From what I can gather it's both oddly GPU heavy and 2000/3000 series Nvidia cards are having a tough time, so you're in quite an unfortunate spot. Also is this with FSR? Cause that'd be a big oof

3090 here with an ultra wide monitor and running on ultra preset, game runs fine for me 🤷‍♂️

This is about the worst way to go about things. What’s a great game that you wouldn’t expect?

Something performs badly at launch > people complain > eventually it gets fixed by devs or community > people forget and preorder the next version, or buy as soon as FOMO hits.

Unless it gets major press like 76, cyberpunk or no man sky, it won't matter much for the company, modern captalists don't think about the long run, they want a big bonus today, and don't give a shit if the company will be dead the next year.

Also, a lot of products have bad performance at launch, especially something that depends on optimizations that may not go well with different hardware. People can just calm down and wait for it to get stable.

70 dollars for an ugly game that can't run right.

And has no FOV slider or texture options

I do not understand why people try to play Bethesda games on launch. I mean, I don't understand why people play them at all, but I particularly don't understand why they play them on launch.

Its so bad. Even on a 3090 I dread opening a menu

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.

My husband is playing it on a 3090 and whatever the 9th-generation i7 unlocked is, with the highest settings and FSR enabled, running on 1080p. 45fps in cities which is brutal. 70-80 in typical areas. Strangely, he just tried it on the lowest settings and experienced no change in FPS, and furthermore the CPU is at 100% (good on them for multithreading!), that suggests it's likely a CPU issue. Weird then that it's running so poorly on a 12th-gen i9, that should be ripping through it.

its performance in terms of being good is absolute shit as well as far as i'm seeing
