System requirements.

[Syrin]

I have an older PC that was high end about five years ago. No, don't know the exact specs, sorry. Playing BG3 and other modern games just fine though. Is this game going to be pretty much just for high end PC's?

The system requirements are clearly posted on the game's store page. Go read it and see if your computer meets the requirements.

I understand that, and I have been burned both ways where my PC handled a game the specs said it wouldn't, and couldn't handle a game that it said I should. I take the word of those actually playing WAY more than what they post.

Running fine on my commodore 64

Okay here's information for you: I've been playing Starfield for a few hours throughout the day today. My system:

RTX 3070 Ti (water cooled, overclocked a lot), Ryzen 5800X (also overclocked a lot, runs 5050 Mhz when gaming), 32GB DDR4 @ 3800 Mhz, Windows 10 64-Bit, latest Nvidia driver.

With this system I can average 55-65 FPS on high settings at 1080p with motion blur off, all FSR/Variable resolution settings off and resolution at 100% (so it actually runs at 1080p on my 1080p screen). All ultra settings on this system dropped it down to 20's FPS and made it unplayable.

This might give you some idea about what performance is like in this game.

How can you not know your pc specs o.O
Its like driving a car and not knowing its make and model.

Quite a lot of people have no idea what is "under the hood" in their computer. They buy something that someone recommends from like ibuypower or best buy and they just push a button to turn it on and play games then turn the computer off with no idea what "magic" is happening inside to make the games run. It's very common actually.

This. I am a full time physician with three kids in an international band that I go on tour with. Free time is not something I am familiar with. I drive a custom made Porsche and know virtually nothing about the specs other than it looks great and drives better. My car friends shake their heads at my lack of knowledge. It's not required to drive. Same thing applies to my PC.

Plus, I saw one thread from a guy whose PC far exceeds the specs and can't play the game, and I have experienced this time and time again. Sounds like NVIDIA is not supported as of yet.

If your time is that valuable it would be best spent learning about the components of your system so your not on these forums asking basic rooky questions.

Playing on a i7 8700, 16gb ram, ssd, RTX 2060 with 6gb vram, Windows 10, all latest driver updates. Playing at a resolution of 1920 x 1080p at lowest settings where i got fantastic results with very fast framerates with no lag or crashes. Decided to increase my settings to medium and high and so far am still getting the same positive results with no problems.

Anyone using an I7 6700k?

There's a very easy way for you to relay what hardware is in your computer. I will give you a little walkthrough:

In the steam client main window -> Help menu at the top -> System Information -> Click ones on the words in the middle of the window so it's in focus -> Press Control+A to highlight it all -> Control+C to copy -> Click on the new message box in steam for this thread -> Control-V to paste -> click the send button.

When we have information about what hardware is in your computer then we can tell you if your computer would be capable of running Starfield.
