Notes:
I have an old FX-8350 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 3060 RTX video card. I locked the FPS to 30 through Nvidia Control Panel and it runs pretty well, better than I expected on an old 8 (sorta 4) core processor from 2012. Before I locked it the FPS kept varying between 30 and 60 and that made me feel queasy.
The main thing I don't like is how faded/hazy many things look, needs some contrast or sharpening. I installed a mod but it didn't go far enough for my taste.
Sounds like you may want to look into reshade. There's a ton of reshade presets up on the Starfield nexus, many of which may make the improvements you're looking for.
I have a 3080 and a ollllld processor (7700k). It's running Starfield swell, lowest is 40 FPS in the city. Playing at 1440p.
I can get it to run just fine, it just looks like a game from the 1990s if only the colors brown, more brown and poop brown were used. I'm sure it's a great game but since the graphics make me throw up 20 mins in and there are no accessibility options I will never get to play it.
Lack of native HDR is pretty disappointing. I need to figure out how to get that working and maybe try a Reshade mod too. I can't stand wandering around New Atlantis in the day, the contrast is so bad it's very unpleasant to look at. It should be a beautiful awe-inspiring future city but the area right outside the lodge with the trees is just not great.
After some tweaking of settings, games runs fine. I shouldn't HAVE to do those things, but it's doing fine now
For reference, 3700x, rtx 2070s. Game heavily gpu bound. 50-60fps, no lag, no stutter , no whatever, honestly I never noticed losing a couple of fps, and that's just in crowded cities/areas, in other place it'll go higher.
What I did :
After doing this, everything has been 100% fine and never had any other issues. Before, I sometimes had slideshow in new Atlantis, heavy stutter, occasionnal massive fps drops. But these 3 things have 100% resolved my issues entirely
Can we get HDR support please Todd? No?
honestly it runs fine on my 5700xt r5 3600 combo. not max settings, I set to "high" from memory as the game defaulted to the minimum for me, but I could bump it no worries. no real frame rate or stuttering issues. I'd love to run it higher but I'm a realist, and new PC is on the cards anyway over the next year
I did, just buy a new one bro.
Buy new parts, lock to 30fps
Pick one, that's pretty much the only option
