Well if it is, people may be interested to know that Starfield has worse graphics on AMD cards

Fewer details are rendered in the game's Skybox and lighting when the game is played on AMD GPUs

Starfield Is Seemingly Missing Entire Stars When Running On AMD Radeon GPUs

Reddit users have discovered a new bug in Starfield where the game won't render entire stars when running on an AMD Radeon GPU.

Nvidia must have paid Bethesda to do this. There's no other reasonable explanation. What a despicable company.

And the article itself describes it as a bug, probably on the to-do fix list at Bethesda.

I especially like the no head and floating eyeballs bug.

They gimped it on AMD cards! Bethesda Game Studios are equal opportunity!

Also did the Reddit/Twitter/Forum boycott/review bombing work yet?

I have an Nvidia card and only had two crashes after 30 hours. I think even those are because it is very hot.

Just pretend the image I posted above was of an AMD 6800XT owner who'd just upgraded to a 7800XT and it'll all make sense.

 

[ALXAndy]

I'd normally suggest ask one of the locals, but in this game all they do is give you weird looks!

I'll have a half ounce of whatever she's on LOL

The RX7800XT reminds me of the HD6870! That was also not a massive upgrade over the HD5870 but had less shaders too.

Hahaha yea i had one of them but it barely cost £200 and the performance was decent for that price. Amd went from 5870 top single gpu to 6970 being top gpu with 6870 mid range. Does have a lot of similarities to the this gens releases. If only the mid range card was similar pricing to back then. The pound was also quite strong at the time.

I know tech jurnoes are still trying to push the "but you can get a 6800XT for the same money so you have to consider that" no you don't...

What a load of old ####! Lets just be sensible for a moment here and actually consider the 6800XT vs the 7800XT.

You are not buying this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapp...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-39c-sp.html

Over this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapp...6-pci-express-graphics-car-gra-spr-00766.html

Unless you are a monumental idiot, and you're not, so all these tech jurneos still trying to find some angle to ram a "but" in there edgeways can shut the #### up.

if i were to buy a new gpu today i would go for the 7800 over the 6800, but only if i had an older gen card that wasnt 6800xt/3080 performance anyway. otherwise id just skip a gen.

i bought my 6800xt around march time for £600 nvidia didnt have anything comparable to offer at the time (either significantly less performance for same money or significantly more expensive for same performance) and AMD had absolutely no idea if or when they would release other 7000 series cards that weren't the 7900

mine seems to have random episodes of crashing every 10-15mins or not crashing at all. I do quick saves every so often cause of the crashes. Doesn't seem to be any reason for them either.

My F5 key is taking a pounding in this game. On a 1080Ti fwiw.

The 7800XT upgrade was looking tempting, but luckily for me the Nitro+ has sold out everywhere - and Gibbo's pricing is a bit too elevated for my wallet. Safe again until next gen.

No crashes here and I have only made some ini tweaks and no mods

cheaper else where anyway

 

[random_matt]

Seen a TUF with starfield for £579. Although, I assume all models come with a free copy.

There's about 3 places i can find with an mba 6950 in stock, here and 2 other places, and both other places are £110 cheaper than ocuk. Just another example.

 

[ICDP]

It’s par for the course and we should shop around. For example good luck finding a 7900 XT for £699 elsewhere.

Indeed. Swings and roundabouts and all that. I don't always buy from OCUK but when I do? it is because they are either the cheapest, or, I get free DPD. Their customer service for me at least has been stellar too. Sent an E note earlier, got a reply within 20 mins.

I hope not because it looks like she'd smash your back doors in.
