TheRoarer,

But bg3 black hounds wasn’t Larian. That was Blackisle and it got canceled. It wasn’t the same game or the same studio.

TheRoarer,

The comment makes complete sense now.

TheRoarer,

I am about to finish Starfield. I did not enjoy my time with it. Luckily, I played it on gamepass, so very little monetary value was lost.

Might revisit once creation kit is up. That was the only way Fallout 4 was enjoyable for me.

I will head back to finishing my bg3 evil play through, filling the gaps with Darktide.

TheRoarer,

Man, my class A 90% of the weight is resources. I absolutely fucking hate it. I feel like I am being punished for doing their stupid mining mini game.

TheRoarer,

I have 1500 cargo space on my class A. 90% of it is resources and ship repair parts.

I just hate this game loop.

Help deciding PC upgrades

So…I’ve been increasingly struggling to run the latest games, as the age of my 6 years old desktop is starting to show, and Starfield denying my GPU just pissed me. I know it’s a bug and I can probably play it, but it’s outright the minimum for this game, and so I’d like a refresh of the worst, or should I consider a...

TheRoarer, (edited )

Gamers nexus and hardware unboxed did gpu reviews for starfield. Do NOT get a 6700 xt or 6750xt like someone suggested.

You need a 6800 xt for stable 60 fps.

But you are worried about electricity cost, the rdna2 and rdna3 series is VERY inefficient (stock).

You can pay upfront for a more efficient 4070 ti/4080, or maybe pay more per lifetime with rdna 2/3.

As for the rest, you don’t wana hear it but… your rig is old my dude.

You could probably reuse the ram if you went intel.

Psus have a finite lifetime. Make sure to put money aside for when it dies.

What case do you have? Gpus have gotten BIG.

Where do you live? Microcenter has great deals right now for last gen stuff.

Edit: What resolution is your monitor? The lower the resolution, the more important the cpu is due to bottlenecking in modern games.

Edit2: hardware unboxed JUST did a video on starfield’s cpu limit. Definitely check that out.

TheRoarer,

PCIE scaling is in low single digit percentages, so it isn’t an issue unless you are min/maxing.

TheRoarer,

In Starfield lows with a vanilla 6800 drop below 60 fps at 1080p HIGH as per hardware unboxed testing.

TheRoarer,

The EA tutorial was longer and MUCH more explicit. I was very surprised they truncated it.

TheRoarer,

The game was better than it had any right to be, and it really deserved to be a franchise.

What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...

Looking for a particular type of RPG

I played Knight's of Pen and Paper (and 2) and enjoyed it quite a bit, even though, I don't usually like turn-based RPGs. And I think I figured out exactly what about that game made me enjoy it - there's no walking. I mean, there's no world, where you control a single character and can move in any direction, all there is is a...
