Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don't put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

A lot of people also seem to not know that you can't just spend 80% of your budget on a graphics card and buy whatever CPU you can afford with whatever is left.

I have a 3080 and the game runs noticeably worse in the cities than it does in small rooms. And that's with everything at low-medium and 75% rendering resolution which seems ridiculous. And the game doesn't even look that good.

I've heard the game is bottlenecked by the CPU. What do you have?

I have a ryzen 3900x. It's never been the bottleneck for me before. I can have 20 applications open while playing most games without a hiccup.

I have high standards, but still, there's no reason starfield should perform so much worse than other modern games.
