Hol-eee shit. My GTX 1070 doesn't meet minimum requirements...and it just won't boot? Oh wow.

Who the hell are they expecting is going to play this game? Only trust fund kids?

Like have you seen hw prices lately? The prices of these class of card simply crashed through the ground. 1070 are very cheap, the rx470-480 is barely sellable trash. A lot of time had passed since the 10series...

Steam system requirements say RX5700 minimum. Recommended is RX6800XT, which was ludicrously expensive last I checked. Also I need a much newer CPU.

In this economy, that's gonna be a no from me.

We knew the game would be demanding when MS announced 30FPS only on both consoles. And this time it isn't a CPU bottleneck

[–] ddkman@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But the 5700 is not an expensive gpu to buy second hand. Cpu asks for an ancient 6core or a 2nd gen ryzen. These aren't unreasonable specs in 2023. Time has moved on. Sorry.

Mind you I have an ancient 6core and a 1080 class card.

Dude, the 1080 came out in 2016, that was just... oh.

I'm an adult with a job, and I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of affording the recommended system requirements for this game any time soon. RX6800XTs do not grow on trees.

Gamers nexus had gtx 1070 in their starfield performance review, so it can work on a 1070. 30fps on low settings I think though.

[–] Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The 1070 is the official minimum requirement.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you've got windows 10 try updating to 22h2 (no, really; a consequence of Bethesda being acquired by Microsoft, I suspect), and update your GPU drivers.

That got it running on my 980ti, so it should also work with the 1070.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Or it's a consequence of the fact that all earlier windows 10 (non enterprise) versions are end of service.

I highly doubt it's done intentionally. 21H2 probably misses a feature or they just didn't care about 21H2 because why should they.

[–] iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I think it's probably having to do with how Wine/Lutris emulates the Windows version, that makes it think it's an older version. I'll try on a real Windows partition...

[–] devious@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Did u try adding it as a non-steam game directly on Steam and not using Lutris? I've tried both on my EndeavourOS PC and find that for whatever reason, it runs much better via Steam vs Lutris.

[–] justastranger@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Been trying to run it on an rx480 and it hiccups and crashes so much lol
