For the people that say that Starfield doesn't run well on Linux.

The fact that you have the best AMD GPU but are still not able to run it at native 1440p says a lot. You are running it at 75% of 1440p and than have it upscaled using FSR. It runs alright I would say but I don't think the performance really matches the visuals. It's clearly not well optimized.

I am currently waiting for nvidia 545 drivers to hit full release so its even playable on Linux

The performance for this game is garbage considering how poor the graphics are. Was a quick refund, I'll wait for the ultra turbo deluxe goty edition for $20 in half a decade.

Having learned my lessons in the past, I'm now a patient gamer. It's great to play a game 2 years (sometimes a year) after its release. By then they have patched all the annoying bugs and optimized the game.

Yes its the way to go and its a great way to save money. I try to spend a maximum of 50 per year. I usually grab a few things in the steam sale . I find it forces me to play through stuff and really think about if will I play it. It turns out 50 will go a long way and I usually end up with 8ish new games a year.

So you like buying games after their buy-in beta period? 😎

TBH I currently only "own" the game because of a voucher tied to my RX6600. Else I would have waited, too.

Sidenote: in 1080p it runs at ~50-60FPS without FSR (native resolution). Plays on Windows and Linux about evenly well, albeit that I have seen some graphical glitches (on Linux, did not try to reproduce them on Windows 10) e.g. my follower doing a bl*ckface for no reason.

People are saying this? Well I'm running it on Pop!_OS 3440x1440 with a Ryzen 5600 and 6900XT at at least 60fps. Unsure at the FSR or scaling level though, but it's not bothering me. And my perception of performance and quality is what actually matters.

I'm running it as 4k on arch Linux with a 7900xtx getting about 60fps with fsr turned on at 80% resolution
