Still runs badly on 3070Ti, i7 11700k, 16GB RAM
Despite all the promises offered by the inclusion of DLSS, it still runs badly. Cities still experience FPS drops into the 40s in places like New Atlantis, etc, even on Low. Plus, there's a grainy sort of film on textures now, that weren't present in the beta, and yes, my GPU driver is up to date.

You can still gain 60 fps at 1440 at newer games but you have disable ray tracing most of the time and you have to decrease a few other graphical settings. this will only get worse in 2024.
Most people here overestimte a 3070 ti gpu, it just misses raw power.
Always get an RTX xx80 gpu if you want to be futureproof. You'll run into issues with an RTX xx60 or xx70 rather early.

It's definitely not outdated. A 1080 is bordering on outdated. There's no reason why an RTX 3070Ti should not have trouble with this card. But it does.

It's easy to say we should get a xx80 card, but unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees.

Its definitely not outdated, but you're playing with a card that is basically 5~10%~ within a 2080TI, the recommended card to play this game with (2080) for the base medium settings at 1080p. So you're looking at being able to reliably do 1080p on high with your card based upon their recommended specs.

The fact you're having so many problems with your card when at least 6 replies in the 4 pages here with your exact specs saying they're not having issues leads me to believe its something on your side. Have you benchmarked your PC and done comparisons to where you should be? Something doesn't sound right here.

There is nothing wrong with my hardware setup! I'm not going to pay for benchmarking software!

Crazy thing is that this game looks so atrocious that a GTX 970 should be sufficient to run it at high settings.
Witcher3 in 2015 has better graphics than Starfiefd.

I'd say an RTX 3080 is the absolute minimum right now to run newer games at max settings at 1440p. 3070ti should still be good enough for 1080p but any selfrespecting pc gamer plays at at least 1440p.

I play at 1080p and enjoy it very much thank you!

I can go 4K if I wanted, guess I don't repect myself ... lol...

I don't know why you people always leave out the most important information, namely at which resolution you're playing at. Playing Starfailed at 4k with an RTX 3070 it will run like a slide show, but at 1080p it should be more than enough to run it on high settings.

No I have an I7 13700K, 32gb, rtx 4070TI...

Been responding to all the DLSS threads telling people it won't make that much difference over FRS... and here we are with yet another complaint that DLSS didn't make a difference.

Of course it didn't, it only helps a small percentage of setups. If you don't have that limited setup it won't make much difference.

I don't really bother with 1440p, and only uses 1080p, so yeah, the 3070ti should be good enough. 9244 on Uniengine, which is to be expected of my hardware configuration.

Starfield has a much higher polygon count than Cyberpunk 2077 (hence the demanding performance) and yet manages to look worse!

That's not true for everyone. I only have a I7 11700kf and a RTX 3060ti OC. and the patch helped me go from Medium/High settings to Ultra/High settings at 1080p using DLSS/ DLSS Quality. The game plays just as smooth as before, but looks much better.

But I have it capped at 60 fps with Vsync on. The Patch certainly had a nice visual and performance boost for me. Not everyone needs 100+ fps to be happy.

OP. You should look to see if you have Motion blur set off and Resolution Scaling set to about 60% or lower if you are using Ultra settings. The DLSS Quality will upscale it to the native ( 1080p ) anyway and does not need that setting high to maintain steady frames.

I also have Dynamic Resolution turned off.

I do not know what your resolution is or if it affects the system ram usage but I am using over 19 gigs right now in game The video card is using 6.5 gigs. If you have 16 gigs of system memory you need to turn down settings to use less memory. I am getting the usage from rivatuner BTW.
