I have i5 8600k and RTX 3060Ti. Should I expect crappy performance?

Title. I don't want to buy the game if it's going to run like sh*t.

If any of you has similar configurations, please tell me.

You should be fine, expect 1440p medium settings with mods you will have somewhat stable 60fps.

[Omnius10]

should work fine on 1080p with medium to high settins or 1440p medium and some powerhungry settings on low .. like volumetric lighting . (run it myself with an i7 8700k rtx 2080)

[Silverlight]

It will run between 40-60 fps.

Higher or lower depending on how much you are willing to sacrifice or not

[Dzwiedz24]

Yes.
The framerate will be all over the place, from 60 on your ship and in closed areas, to 20 in New Atlantis.
The optimization in Starfield is ridiculously bad, unfortunately.

Thanks.

A hard pass then. Maybe I will get a new PC in december/january.

Unfortunately this is becoming the norm in PC videogames. Developers just optimize their games for the consoles, making poor PC ports. Apparently this game is extremely dependent on CPU, that's why I asked. I'm aware that my CPU is starting to fall behind. It was a beast 5-6 years ago but 6 cores/threads falls short nowadays in gaming.
