I bought a new PC just to play Starfield (and BG3 with less issues).

It looks alright overall. But it's pretty crazy that even 30xx cards can't run it well (I had a 1070 though).

I did a CPU/mobo/RAM upgrade for it -- but I was quite overdue.

It looks alright overall.

That's the thing. It looks alright, but it's not the next-gen beauty fest that they want people to think it is. Plenty look better and run better. I enjoy the game, but the whole argument that it's a graphical standout doesn't really hold water.
