    I could forgive bethesda games because I used to be able to look at them as “greater than the sum of its parts”

    Fallout 4 with mods just barely got away with it.

    Starfield has too many issues for me.

    The biggest one, your second issue of loading screens, I don’t think mods can fix. There just will never be a seamless overworld because of the spaceship mechanic.






  • Gamers nexus and hardware unboxed did gpu reviews for starfield. Do NOT get a 6700 xt or 6750xt like someone suggested.

    You need a 6800 xt for stable 60 fps.

    But you are worried about electricity cost, the rdna2 and rdna3 series is VERY inefficient (stock).

    You can pay upfront for a more efficient 4070 ti/4080, or maybe pay more per lifetime with rdna 2/3.

    As for the rest, you don’t wana hear it but… your rig is old my dude.

    You could probably reuse the ram if you went intel.

    Psus have a finite lifetime. Make sure to put money aside for when it dies.

    What case do you have? Gpus have gotten BIG.

    Where do you live? Microcenter has great deals right now for last gen stuff.

    Edit: What resolution is your monitor? The lower the resolution, the more important the cpu is due to bottlenecking in modern games.

    Edit2: hardware unboxed JUST did a video on starfield’s cpu limit. Definitely check that out.

    Asking your community for help before dropping hundreds of dollars isn’t a physical or non physical issue.

    As I said in my replies. The internet is vast, there isn’t a remote possibility that they are near other beeple that would be willing to handle it?

    If they were in illinois or southern wisconsin, I could have done it for free.

    I have also remotely, through video call, walked people through replacing computer parts with no issues.

    It doesn’t matter if it is a physical or software problem. There are alternatives to being hundreds of dollars in the red.
