Todd Howard pc ver is optimized?!

[Bluelight]

Lmao... Saw an interview with Todd Howard asking him why he didn't optimize the game for pc. His response:

"uh we did and it's running great. It is a next Gen pc game and we really do push the technology so you may need to upgrade your pc for this game..."

That's sort of an infuriating response and seems to indicate they have no plans to try to improve pc performance... Considering they think it's just fine. When alot of people with 4000 series cards are struggling to hit 4k 60 and that's even WITH upscaling on, that's not good. Ppl with 4090 cards are the only ones I've seen that really don't have to worry much... Everybody else has to jump through hoops to get the game running close to 4k 60 fps consistently and the graphics don't quite justify using resources that intensively imo.

Im sure some will disagree.. Especially 4090 users.. But the fact is they didn't care about optimizing on pc for 60 fps they only cared about 30 fps on consoles.

Without PureDarks DLSS3 + FG

My 4090 sits at 70-80. With? 130-144.

I love the game, but it's true that the optimization is bad. People with 4080s and 4090s should be sitting at 120 plus frames locked. Instead it can range and even go as low as sub 60 in some areas.

Todd cult worshippers be spreading their cheeks on this one.

Todd is a mouth piece nothing more. He basically said the same thing for Skyrim, FO4, and the rest. A few days later, inevitably, Bethesda launches a patch that contradicts half of what he says. Todd has his reputation for a reason.

I just don't see anything from this game being next gen.

[Incandescence]

Well... i guess expecting a performance patch is out the window

[Gigantoad]

It's as optimized as it can be running in CreationEngine. That's probably what he meant :D

Not necessarily. Just because Todd says something doesn't mean it won't happen. He's propaganda. The actual people who work on the game, can see the feedback and will release one, if one is necessary. They just won't necessarily tell Todd.

amount of loading screens is next gen, no other game has this many of them

I'd lean towards it being not the greatest optimization. BG3 I can play 4k with DLAA on at 120. With this game, I got about 80-90 with fsr2 on. Luckily the dlss3 mod makes it run perfect though.

I hope so! I have been seeing rumors for a few days that a patch is in the works but no release so far and I'm surprised they didn't release it on actual launch day. I was hoping for some Nvidia drivers that say they are for Starfield too but nothing there either, not that it would likely matter. Lol

[BEEP!]

Well that's just how things are Tod is a salesman & if you ever worked as a salesman you never speak about the negatives especially while the fire is hot & sakes are moving it really sucks I love the gane but performance is a massive negative with this game I know it'll be fixedbut this ss BS.

Yeah 4000 series guys are lucky for that modder.. I wish I was as lucky.. I'm on a 3070 ti so can't use frame Gen. Still, it's sad that with a 400p series card, ppl have to rely on mods and frame Gen to make the game feel decent.

Do you realize how many years we had to plan for this game. He said 5 years ago it would be Next Gen. We set aside some of our money for a decent PC for this game, starting 4 years ago.

P.S. I am not saying the game doesn't need a little optimization but mostly it runs well considering.

LOL I know right? There are so many fanboys of this guy.. I don't get it. He's a liar and seems like a little weasel to me.
