Starfield...do I need to upgrade?

[CheeseyCrumpet]

Hi guys, can I get some advice?

I built a gaming PC for my son a few years back, he soon got bored and moved on to a PS5 so I inherited the PC.

I've been waiting years for Starfield and now its nearly here I don't know which of the following to do

Buy an Xbox for £180
Use my PC with the below internals (seems to meet basic requirements)
Upgrade the graphics card (AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 gets me a free copy of Starfield)

Do we think the below would give me a reasonable gaming experience or do I need to upgrade?

Requirement	Your System	Result
Windows	Windows	PASS
Intel Core i7-6800K	AMD Ryzen 3 3100	PASS
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER	PASS

Thanks in advance gents

It's only a few weeks away, you might as well wait until the performance reviews are out.

I cant wait man!!!

A Ryzen 5600 + 6700XT is what I'd be aiming for.

I would wait a little bit longer and see what the reviews say performance wise, no point jumping now.

If you can get hold of a free trial xbox gamepass, Starfield is included and you can download it and play it with current rig and see how it goes.

Wait till it's out and try it on gamepass for a month, but if you're looking for an excuse to buy a new gpu grab an amd.

Great idea! Cheers
