i await the people who try run this on ridiculously low spec pcs, thats the real fun

i wanna see this running on sli voodoo 2, any way possible.

 

[Krathoon]

I am hoping my CPU is not too low. I just recently put a 4070RTX in.

Anyways i hope it runs well on my 4070.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Yeah this ain't playable on my 2700X RIP. Will play in 5 years from now or something.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

did they give a resolution/framerate for these specs? 1080/60?

 

[Redefine07]

i5-13500
32GB DDR5
RX 7900 XT Nitro+
1440p + FSR2/3 high , 60fps (I hope)

 

[GladiusFrog]

Reserved,

i7-7700
16GB
GTX 1080

7 year old build here... Hoping for medium settings at 1080p 60fps.

[UPDATE] Playing the game at 1080p with the Medium settings preset, No resolution scaling. I'm getting a 25-30FPS.... My G-SYNC Monitor is doing some lifting to make it appear to my eye at around 30-50fps.
This was tested in the New Atlantis area of the game, as I assume that is the most demanding area. (Only 10hrs in)

Not Great, but playable enough for me.

 

[analog_future]

did they give a resolution/framerate for these specs? 1080/60?

No. unfortunately it's very vague.

Hopefully DF has something ready to go today when the embargo lifts.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

First thing is turning off motion blur, and all the post processing effects. Then changing the God awful default fov, crank everything to max @ 120fps and see if my 4090/13700k agrees with me or not.

 

[GymWolf]

I hope i can get 4k60 with some settings on medium and everything else maxed out

I5 13600k
4080
32gb ddr5 6000mhz

I'm already mentally prepared for 1800p60 tho (hopefully nothing lower than that), no way i'm gonna use fsr and fuck up the iq.

 

[Krathoon]

I got an i7 8700. I am hoping that is still fine. Immortals of Aveum runs fine.

 

[Shtef]

Ryzen 5600x
Rtx 3060ti
16gb ram ddr4 3200
1440p 155hz gsync monitor

If get 60fps with medium settings on 1440p i might play it on pc otherwise xbox will do.

 

[AGRacing]

Ryzen 7 5800X3D
7900 XTX
32GB 3600mhz
Samsung 980 1TB


1440 native ultra. I started it with those settings and went to the main city and it never felt under 60. So I'm leaving it as is and not going to fuss over it. I am so having so much fun that for once the PC tinkering can take a backseat to playing the actual game. It's a new day! Looks great. Plays great. Gunplay feels great.

 

[Krathoon]

I wish I could upgrade my processor, but my Alienware will not let me.

I was hoping for some kind of bios hack that would let me do it.

 

[nightmare-slain]

pls to tell me can i run the game with these specs:

7950x3d (16 cores / 32 threads)
64gb ddr5 with 6000 rams
RTX 4080 (16GB)
4tb ssd at 7.6gb/s
Windows 11 Pro
rgb mouse and keyboard
2 speakers (1 for each ear)
1000w psu
4x fans going vrooom

 

[nani17]

First mod we need is an FPS unlock

 

[M1987]

i5-13500
32GB DDR5
RX 7900 XT Nitro+
1440p + FSR2/3 high , 60fps (I hope)

I'm sure a 2080 Ti was doing 45fps+ 1440p native,so a 7900XT should smash 60fps easily

 

[Agent_4Seven]

8700K @4.8GHz (All Cores)
3080Ti
32 GB
GIGABYTE AORUS 7300 2TB NVMe

One of the reviewers claimed that 2080Ti paired with 3800X are running the game with 45-60 FPS using High settings @1440p, although he didn't mention wether it was with FSR or not.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

3080, 5800x3d, preloaded and ready to go tonight.

 

[SF Kosmo]

I'm crushing the reqs, i7-13700k, RTX 4070Ti, 32GB DDR5.

Will that get me into 90+fps at 1440p though? I guess we'll find out tonight.

 

[Connxtion]

Going to try running it on my MinisForums 6900HX (680M) 32GB of ram.

See if how it fairs, if it’s crap then it’s the series x lol

Av been out of the PC game for over 10 years so a just need photoshop and that little PC does the job nicely.

No gamer chair and your lack of RGB gives me doubt you can run it

 

[DenchDeckard]

Hoping for nice framerates at 1440P on Ultra. Might hook up to the 65Inch OLED for some comfy couch gameplay!

[nightmare-slain]

you're right my RIG doesn't have the RGB. my gpu has a white LED which makes me sad. well my mainboard has a color LED but just one hidden behind the cooler.

unfortuantly i only have the ikea chair so maybe i shall try the game to see what i can do then if not then ask steam for refund if i only play less than 2 hours!

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Is it actually locked to 60?

 

[Bernoulli]

please everyone with old GPUs but good CPUs report here

The basic white LEDs were helping but then seeing you have an IKEA chair?

You're fucked man

 

[nightmare-slain]

can i do 30fps?

what if i add cheap ebay led strip lights to the ikea chair? will this improve my frame rat per seconds?

You get better performance if you add them under your desk, the chair is a lost cause

Invest in one of these bad boys for a 20-30 fps performance boost:

 

[KyoZz]

can i do 30fps?

It will most likely fluctuate between 20/30FPS, so don't expect too much. You can trust me I'm a PC expert

Why are you all paying $100 for the early access edition!!!!

I am so pissed that even if i spend $70 for the game, its still not good enough to play it day one.

This is how I used to play Oblivion

Let's goooo

Can't wait to see the technical side of this port

I got a free Premium code when I built my PC a couple months ago.

For what it's worth, there's a ton of premium codes on sale on Reddit B/S/T subs for ~$50.

So did my friend with his 7800x3d. we game share on steam but while he got to preload yesterday, im not seeing starfield under his game's list. i guess microsoft doesnt allow game sharing on this game.

I will wait till midnight to see if it unlocks, otherwise i will just buy the code from a reddittor. thanks for the tip.

I have SLI Voodoo 2's in my Pentium 3 system, but I don't think Starfield will run on Win98SE.

they are white with no lights. my cooler has 2 black fans also with no lights.
