Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC' (www.pcgamer.com)

That's the thing, is there enough going on in cities from a rendering standpoint that makes it so bad? There's tons of lights and shadows and people indoors but it doesn't cost jack shit for GPU usage

I should specify…I am on ultra but shadows are low. apparently shadows is a big resource use right now.

There is a lot of people and NPCs and they’re all doing something to make the city scape feel alive like walking around and talking

Is it enough for a performance hit of this scope? I’m not sure
