On the nvidia side, the 3080 is 46% slower than a 6800xt, that's not right. I can see a major Nvidia performance boost on the horizon.

Drawcalls, shadows. Someone will come with a dynamic shadow res mod eventually like FO4 but its likely to be a way off.

Game is very very good egine wise, its an udpdate to FAllout 4
Had an update today on the Xbox app for pc ( I play via game pass )
Also had an nvidia update also but It only mentioned mortal kombat
There is something odd with the gpu usage/power usage with Nvidia cards in the game. I often get 99%/100% usage, but it is only drawing about 50-66% of the power limit. This seems to be reported by a lot of people.
?
Loads of RPG's/ action rpg's?
I dont see anything special with what Starfield is doing city wise. They are not (relatively) that heavily populated, large or good looking. The non character NPC's look pretty low rent. Most buildings require a loading screen, and so does entering the city.
To me it seems way behind a lot of other open world games, yet is one of the most poorly performing.

On Intel CPUs,not AMD ones. But this is no different than in Cyberpunk 2077 where HT caused problems for CPUs too and AMD CPUs over six cores had issues:
Cyberpunk 2077 might force you to upgrade your CPU | Digital Trends
If you want to play the new Cyberpunk 2077 expansion, Phantom Liberty, you may need to make sure your PC is ready for it first.

Do you think this will be fixed thou in a future update ? thxOn Intel CPUs,not AMD ones. But this is no different than in Cyberpunk 2077 where HT caused problems for CPUs too and AMD CPUs over six cores had issues:

Maybe,but it still took CDPR a while!
Yes confirmed to be coming in patch 2.0

Performance is pretty even between them now. In some scenes the 7900 XTX is faster, however in some the 4090 is faster. In many of them the FPS are close enough to be margin of error.
To claim one annihilates the other is ridiculous to be honest. And yes, my 4090 is clocked at over 3.1Ghz in the video I recorded using both GPUs.

Might not be that easy. Some fps maybe, not a lot. Unless sf gets fake frames and other tech to do it but without gimmicks it might not get much better?
Starfield overperforms on AMD's GPUs due to an architectural edge over NVIDIA's GPUs
Starfield simply favors AMD's architecture, which is why the AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX was faster than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

True, certain games just perform better on another vendors hardware. AMD for example have had a commanding lead in Call of Duty for a long time now, despite updates from team green and patches AMD still holds an advantage (although the gap narrows at 4K thanks to the demand for post processing effects who's performance scales with more cores).Might not be that easy.

He's a professional click bait troll, we all know why the Nvidia GPU is slower and he even admits it, its because Nvidia's driver overhead is so much higher than AMD's so the Nvidia GPU is so much more susceptible to a CPU bottleneck.
With that in mind is very easy to negate Nvidia's CPU overhead problem by running through the desert for 20 seconds with no NPC's or anything at all going on (IE make sure the CPU isn't doing anything) which is exactly what he did and then claimed "see the 4090 is just as fast but actually AMD architecture is really horrible because it uses more power" as if that's worse than needing to use a chiller cooled CPU chewing 200 watts more power to get the same performance.
He is one of those people who will prostitute himself for a few clicks, quite comfortable to be seen as incredibly stupid by anyone who isn't for clicks.
I know what his game is but i'm just going to keep calling him stupid, a low IQ moron.

Nvidia are very lucky that high end CPU's today have got as hugely powerful as they have, for the most part they can spare the 40% comparatively more cycles just to run Nvidia's GPU driver, you try to run the 4090 with a 5Ghz 8700K or a 5600X it will choke on it, the frame times would be up and down all over the place and feel like riding a cheese grater.

I'm not even going to watch the video because it's obvious clickbait, but...
... while CPU overhead would seem to be the obvioius culprit from looking at simple benchmarks, there's more to it than that. Chips and Cheese did an excellent analysis of the actual work done on a 7900XTX and 4090 to render each frame, showing that there are architectural differences that explain the unusual performance delta - for instance the 4090 doesn't have enough registers.
