It's sad that this is necessary. And given that it took less than a week for modders to get actual performance gains means that bethesda could've easily done it themselves.

Don't think Bethesda is focused on making their gaming look specifically bad just to make it run on older hardware. Similar to all other companies there is a minimum spec. I do think that having such great mod support allows for this to happen which is great.

They are sabotaging their own sales by not doing it. Starfield is such a hyped game that many people who don't usually game much will want to play it and those people tend to not have the most up-to-date hardware. The PC I built in 2018 for about 1100€ is pretty much exactly the minimum spec for starfield. And given that minimum specs usually target 30fps for some reason, I'd need this mod if I wanted to play it at a reasonable framerate.

I'm running starfield medium graphics on a 1660 super and getting 60fps at 1440p.

It honestly runs fairly good on just a decent graphics card.

No, you're not. I have a 3080Ti and get anything between 20 and 45 fps in 1440p, lowering the graphics options doesn't do jack shit either. 12700k, 32GB 3600 MHz DDR4, Game installed on a m.2 980 SSD. Do you lie about your fps to feel better about buying it ?

Medium can't even keep a stable 30 fps on 1660S.

You see modders care for the game.

Starfield is a shit game that should not need the level of detailed gfx to run. Anything from 2000 will trash Starfield today. The devs know this.
