should i just skip this game. Sucks feeling out dated this computer felt like a dream 10 years ago.
Starfield won't be worth playing for several years, if ever. It's a Bethesda game.
mods
That's what he said.
Wonder how long it'll take them to release the creation kit this time.
wonder if it'll have a fitting name like the garden of eden creation kit
>Wonder how long it'll take them to release the creation kit this time
Probably a few months. It would be bad if the PC version is immediately better than the XSX thanks to mods.
I mean, it's still happening since mods can be done even without the kit, but the possibilities are limited.
How broke are you?
Don't think you'll be running this game on that processor, my boy
>8GB 6600XT
I have no idea if this is good or bad, might just play it on my Series X if it isn't.
>might just play it on my Series X if it isn't.
How is the Series X, anyway?
Not that anon but it's pretty comfy. Console looks cool, QuickResume spoils the frick out of you, GamePass with EA Play is great too. Generally pretty good, great elden ring machine too
It's better than series x and will be able to run the game at 60fps without drops if you manage the settings right
>graphics card
>will be able to run the game at 60fps
It's above minimum requirements, but well below recommended. This information is completely meaningless anyway, because we have no idea what they mean with "Minimum" and how accurate it is.
Also, AMD requirements are way higher than Nvidia requirements for some reason. Both the 5700 and 6800XT should BTFO the 1070Ti and 2080, respectively.
without doing a full pc upgrade you can go up to the 4790k
It does suck how bottle-necked any CPU under 6 threads is for gaming these days. I too run a i5-4690. VR pegs it at 100% all of the time, and same for shit that runs the latest UE4 since that things a CPU hungry fricker (at least it maintains 60fps while doing it, but alt-tabbing is sllw).
You do realize that i5 4690 is a literal brick worth 1 dollar on the used market becasue its so old now.. Its not the games fault, its the gamers fault for only spending money on expensive graphics card
When I first played Oblivion I had to use that Oldblivion mod because my computer didn't even reached the minimum specs at the time, hopefully someone will make an Oldfield for this.
>i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz
Overclock it to 5 GHz and give it an honorable death.
You can just install a new SSD in your PC, don't even have to replace any existing parts.
>won't be able to play Starfield because I have a RTX 4090 instead of a RTX 2080
it's over...
>minimum
are you moronic?
Same, feels bad.
I also have to pick if I want to play it on my 65" oled with atmos surround or on my 4k 144hz 1000nit monitor.
Shit sucks man
How does anyone not have even a cheap SSD in this day and age?
The engine is barely different from FO4 and Skyrim. It will most definitely not REQUIRE an SSD, there's no seamless travel, even less variety than NMS which doesn't require an SSD. It's just them covering their bases for when reports of bad and buggy performance are gonna start flowing in.
It's called Creation Engine 2 so it must be different
>It's called Unreal Engine 5 so it must be different
Yes, it is
2 means twice as many bugs, twice as much lies and the actual game size squared?
>Don't believe his lies
NMS ran far better on my machine when I put it on an SSD
Can't say I know 100% but I'm assuming that the game loads assets in as you're walking around too, so an SSD could be required in that instance
>The engine is barely different from FO4 and Skyrim
Oh neat you played it? Seriously though, it is you stupid homosexual.
>B-but it looks the same!
Densisty of objects in the world is clearly improved. ID engineers have had their hands in it and have improved a lot of background details that don't come across in trailers, that said creation 1 could never do space combat like that.
>it doesn't require an ssd because there is no seamless loading
Black person you sound incredibly ignorant if you think the only thing ssds do 'go faster so good for loading!".
Not a single game actually requires an SSD. Adding that the game needs it while it can be played off a regular HDD is a warning that the devs are incompetent, like a seal of admitting they can't optimize for shit. Though with Bethesda it goes without saying.
no frick you its time we require better hardware to run games that kind of thinking is why cp2077 was released on ps4 and xbox one
>consolized trash releases on shit consoles but it's somehow PC players' fault
?
you know damn well what he's saying, homosexual.
devs shouldn't pander to people with shitty hardware, lest the quality of the game will be effected. as we saw with 2077
it ran perfectly fine on my machine, yet all the console peasants and poorgays screeched that the game was broken because they were playing on last-gen consoles and toasters
>as we saw with 2077
>it ran perfectly fine on my machine, yet all the console peasants and poorgays screeched that the game was broken because they were playing on last-gen consoles and toasters
why are you lying? it either didn't, or you didn't own a copy during release.
this is running on top hardware, and is version 1.0. what do you get from lying for shitty corporations you fricking asphalt monkey.
i'm not lying butthole, and i'm not a shill
aside from ocassional stutters and some pretty entertaining glitches it ran fine, 40-60ish fps, it only crashed once or twice in 20ish hours of play
>links a fricking youtuber
ah, so you just parrot shit you've heard online. zoom zoom away from me homosexual
>le youtube doesn't count
really someone running v 1.0 of cyberpunk on top hardware doesn't count? I thought you said it ran fine now it had the occasional glitches with occasional frame-dips? have a nice day you lying piece of shit you're absolutely a shill, and if you're doing it for free even sadder.
>I thought you said it ran fine now it had the occasional glitches with occasional frame-dips
this is "running fine" to me, i never said it ran perfectly, moron. did CDPR touch you somewhere? do you need to talk about it? it sounds like 2077 personally offended you in a deep, profound way
it thought it was impossible to get 60fps in downtown boston and that the engine is incapable of doing it, but apparently the last dude who replied got it to run smoothly
The reason cyberjunk was buggy definitely wasn't due to hardware limitations. Kojima managed to make MGSV work without any major bugs on two generations of consoles and it also ran on my shitbox unlike other AAA titles at the time.
>This is the guy saying consoles hold back gaming
Anon...it can be played on a regular HDD but why would you? Go watch a video of load times of Skyrim and Fallout compared on HDD and SSD. The SDD loads it in seconds, it takes actual minutes for the games to load on an HDD, especially with mods. Download the High Physics fix and install a Bethesda game on your SSD and your load screen will never go over 10 seconds.
Not him, but do you mean the loading times of vanilla skyrim or the 1k+ mods skyrim? Skyrim was released on 2011, ssds weren't a thing and it was running fine.
both
>when modders are able to dive deep into the engine
except almost everything is tied to LOD in creation, an SSD makes the game feel better and loads faster
SSDs making games run much better has absolutely nothing to do with dev incompetency that almost always gets exposed when modders are able to dive deep into the engine and fix things. Like every single time with any fallout or elder scrolls game.
Wrong, anon
Where are the actual in-game comparisons?
Anon, the world is made of Cells that attempt to seamlessly load in as you move. If those are dense enough, your SSD-less system will simply not be able to load them at the speeds required, and eventually, you'll get loading screens from just simply moving around, like you would in previous Bethesda games if you moved too fast for the game to passively load.
So you mean the game will run worse than another space-themed decade year old game that not only looks better but has both more freedom and more content? And that's supposed to convince people it's their problem?
Just play in Xbox Cloud gaming instead
ssd's are like $10 on amazon

>Bethesda partners with AMD
I mean, I'm sure it'll still run amazingly but damn, probably no DLSS
>I mean, I'm sure it'll still run amazingly
It's an AMD sponsored game. You're signing up for unnecessarily high VRAM usage, pisspoor CPU optimization, traversal stutters out the ass, and really bad raytracing implementation.
But if you've got at least a 5800X3D or a recent i7 CPU, you'll be ok.
When I said run amazingly, I meant on my 409
Not that the game itself is gonna run completely flawless, yknow?
Could run like absolute garbage but would probably run a bit better than garbage with better specs
>You're signing up for unnecessarily high VRAM usage, pisspoor CPU optimization, traversal stutters out the ass, and really bad raytracing implementation.
>it's AMD's fault that bethesda are incompetent

All I got from this is
>Its going to be even less optimized than the switch skyrim release

SSDs are a meme. Overpriced, literally all they do is cut off five seconds off a loading screen. I'll stick with my HDD thanks.

fake and gay because you wouldn't care so much otherwise
homosexual
You are actually dumb as frick, or genuinely believe 30-50 dollar SSDs are reliable, and not chink dogshit made to break. it doesn't matter if you're not the same anon you both share the same moronic opinion.
>I overpay for things because I'm smart
I bet you have an iphone.
>too fricking stupid to know what read/write speeds are or why they matter
i bet you have brown skin
They fricking don't matter for video games. The difference between HDD and SSD performance is almost entirely in just having instant seek times.
wrong it's typical for SSDs to come in three variants 560mbps,1060mbps, and 2000mgbps the latter being typically produced by sandisk extreme. you probably have a 560mgbps SSD, and even though it's infinitely better than an HDD your SSD is not matching the time of my 2000mgbps SSD most notably with something like a 1300+ skyrim modlist. keep talking out your ass though jose you swarthy frick.
You fell for the fricking marketing you dumbass. How much data do you think is ACTUALLY being read? Look at your RAM usage. Look at your VRAM usage. Then realize that all that shit is compressed on disk to like 10% of its actual size.
$47 for a 1TB with a VRAM cache.
https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-MX500-NAND-SATA-Internal/dp/B078211KBB
>implying anyone would actually want to keep their data on basedsd instead of owning it physically on a hard drive
homie it's just bumps on metal. You are obsessed with a glorified vinel.
$100 will net you a samsung 2tb m2 drive
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-970-EVO-Plus-MZ-V7S2T0B/dp/B07MFZXR1B
N-n-no. Those don't count.
believable, and samsung is reliable enough. I like them, sandisk, and seagate.
Samsung consistently does it too, you literally don't have an excuse outside of being too poor to afford $100 on an essential for modern PC gaming
depends if you get an external just to kinda ease shit for yourself then you need one with high write speed and that's more expensive. a low write speed ssd for 2tb normal great for storage. not great for playing games off of.
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Samsung is bretty gud for what they are.
I got a 1TB WD for 80 bucks during an Amazon sale and it has high speeds compared to my SATA SSD. SSDs are frickin cheap dude, no matter what. Unless you're purposefully looking for 2TB+
a lot of it is catching sales like with most pc part shit. it's the cheapest part though, so I'll prob buy another two for modlists, and moronic bloated projects like starfield.
I'm considering grabbing another SATA drive for not so intensive games, my mobo is a pain in the ass to access the 2nd m.2 slot otherwise I'd just slap another stick in.
I don't think there's much of a difference between a good SATA drive and an NVMe drive for video games. The OS is a different story.
fair enough, right now I have my OS on my SATA cause I wanted my NVME to be free for games. haven't run into any noticeable issues so far, other than transferring all my library folders to my HDD so shit doesn't save to the SATA
Your OS would load faster on the NVMe drive, and your games will only load marginally faster on it, but it's probably not a big enough deal to bother with swapping everything over. Especially if you're not fully shutting down the computer every time you use it. If you're hibernating/sleeping, how often do you really need to fully boot the OS from being powered down?
not at all and even from sleep, after cleaning up my drives and reinstalling recently, my wake up time is almost non-existent.
Yeah, that's what I mean, don't bother switching the OS install. But you also don't need to bother installing a second NVMe drive for vidya.
just go with a high write speed external SSD they're kinda pricey, but it's worth it. never had issues gaming on my externals, but I knew about write-speed, and factored it into my purchase.
I'll look into it next tech sale, I think Labor Day is the next big US one. I never even considered externals cause I have a USB port problem as well. I really need to get a hub slapped into one of my drive bays.

this is what you want.
nice thanks anon
gotcha, appreciate the tips
yeye G no worries. because it has a read/write speed of 2000mbs you can comfortably game, and load times aren't an issue PLUS you don't have to worry about actually installing it into your PC, and can just keep it in your backpack or whatever.
I always get samsung for my m2s and never have had an issue. they're a great company. been thinking about getting an expansion card for more m2 slots on my mobo
I literally bought a 1TB WD_BLACK for $70 yesterday.
yeah but what's the write speed because if it's less than 2000mgbps it's lesser quality than a high quality sandisk extreme.
3600, that's pretty standard for not shit brands
I just looked up WD SSD internal 3600mgbps and I'm only finding shit with write/read speeds of 560mgbps.
the one he posted is 3600, how are you looking it up? I go on Amazon, click on the checkbox for 2,500-4,999 Mbit/s and bam I got a list
post the amazon link I am seeing the same SSD, but with info displaying read, and write as 560mgbps
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=wd+ssd+sata&hvadid=570571650944&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9031175&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=662654928012701549&hvtargid=kwd-320854382384&hydadcr=18001_13462253&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_5snid96k7o_b
I guess I was looking at Data transfer speeds and not read/write. I maybe a frickin moron and thought they were basically interchangeable
here's the link:https://www.amazon.com/WD_BLACK-SN750-Internal-Gaming-Solid/dp/B095HB3L6G
It only really matters if you're playing off an external which I do which is why I emphasized that it's so important. Getting an SSD with low read/write and using it as an external can actually result in similar load times that an HDD would produce, so getting something with at least 1060-2000mgbps has it read like a normal SSD regardless of it not being an internal.
>It's just $500, I bought one for $70 yesterday, don't you have a $100 to spare?
7300MB read, 6300MB write.
m.2's are still kinda of overpriced, regular 3.5" ssd's are almost the same price as HDD's nowadays
holy shit you must be incredibly poor or literally 15 if this is your coping mechanism. SSDs were cheap 6 years ago and make a world of difference
why is rtx 2080 in the same tier as the 6800XT here? it's supposed to be on par with the 3080ti.
The recommended specs are always fricking weird
I noticed that too
I thought maybe it was due to DLSS but this game is probably going to only have FSR so I'm not sure
It's going to be that much of an unoptimized mess isn't it?
I have an SSD and my specs are beyond the recommended but the idea of that shit touching my pc is revolting. What kind of game NEEDS an SSD?
Starfield is the first game of a brand new generation. You'll play a game unlike anything you've ever seen.
>skyrim again but I'm more jaded this time
no thank you sirs, very not redeem
requirements aren't requirements to function, they're requirements to function acceptably, by a metric determined by the developers. you can run the game on an HDD but you won't have a good experience. for me every game i play needs an SSD and has needed one for many years now
it means that the game is unoptimized trash with high load times, so the ssd is to get around it. it's a similar issue with heavily modded skyrim lists you can't run them on an HDD without 5-10min loading times. funnily enough i am running a 200gb skyrim ae modlist on my Steam Deck and it's running great, so chances are if you own a deck who gives a shit. I am going to pirate this slop on my internal when I'm done with my skyrim playthrough.
Consoles come with ssds now. It is just the bare minimum.
>What kind of game NEEDS an SSD?
Honestly I hope that starts getting utilized more and becomes a requirement for everything. An SSD is the best upgrade you can make and anyone still using HDDs is fricking up.
>What kind of game NEEDS an SSD?

I've been holding off on upgrades for Starfield, already ordered my SSD and graphics card, now I just gotta get a new PSU and fix my broken fan from all the new heat I will b generating. Although since I'm upgrading anyway I will probably get a new CPU and another 8 GB of ram anyway
>125 fricking gigabytes
holy fricking shit those Black folk need to compress the language audios there's no way this slop is running with 125gb dedicated towards being a good game.
>Not a single game actually requires an 4 core cpu. Adding that the game needs it while it can be played off a regular 1 core is a warning that the devs are incompetent, like a seal of admitting they can't optimize for shit. Though with Bethesda it goes without saying.
Most games are still only loading one core way more than others, that's true.
SSDs are dirt cheap now, Black folk. Go get a job, or if you're a neet go cry to mommy to buy you one
Oh good thing I've had an SSD and many more for over a decade now then, just like you who isn't a total NEET frick up, right OP?
Surely this time Todd has learnt from his past mistakes and will release a somewhat complete game at launch
>inb4 the 125gb is a mix of uncompressed BSAs, and uncompressed language audio files
I am sure the actual game is closer to 80gb.
The game looks like some early PS4 title, I'd give it 30Gb at most.
30gb+80gb day 1 patch
I wanted to play cybershit the other day and the patch from may-june version to the current one was 50gb+. What the frick are they even doing.
ULTRA TRACING
actually a lot. game is getting an overhaul, and OS will act as some kinda stepping stone for classes now which is cool. not expecting anything, but if they are able to unfrick things it'd be cool. might even bring third person in the leak i saw insinuated they're trying to bring a more immersive roleplaying experience for character customization. even then whatever isn't added will be added in by mods since it's the last update for this game.
Most likely making you redownload either the entire game, or the asset library archives.
Fully redid the shading of the game.
Not only the ray tracing shit, non-ray tracing looks good now.
Welcome to the DirectStorage age.
There is no way that Starfield has Direct Storage support. I would fricking kneel if it did.
they're requiring an SSD probably because how the game handles the streaming of assets for consoles that use SSDs now. honestly if you don't have an SSD by now, what the frick are you doing. You can get a 1TB for under 100 bucks now, definitely if you're running SATA.
SSDs have been a thing for PCs for like a decade now, theres no way anyone doesnt have one.
I'm more baffled by the CPU and GPU, isn't this supposed to be the CE?
It means it's unoptimized shit that will run like a bloated skyrim modlist.
I have a feeling the specs are written to be inflated as frick to make people think it'll be better than FO4 because morons operate that way. Actual requirements will be similar to FO76
cool. more fake loading screens.
Why do people game on HDD's still? I get it if you don't have a mobo with an NVMe slot but SATA SSD's are just a straight upgrade.
Why though?
people are very resistant to change, there probably still people trying to do modern games on Win7 or they just swap to Linux
did you miss the wave of people shitting themselves over Steam dropping Win7?
they'd still be running XP if they could
>there probably still people trying to do modern games on Win7 or they just swap to Linux
Using an SSD over an HDD is nothing like being forced to use a different OS when the one you have is familiar and does everything you need, especially when the newer OS's only exist to push cancer.
not that anon but, you are legitimately missing out on a noticeable upgrade. you don't even have to get NVME to do so if you're also that schizo HDD anon. a SATA SSD is a massive upgrade from an HDD except for maybe the highest RPM HDDs
I did that and it barely made a difference in the games I play. No idea why I still keep games like Elden Ring on it since the difference is like 2-3 seconds of loading time. Unless you're buying a premium m.2 SSD it's a waste of time for games. Maybe some AAA trash like Foreskin needs it but I don't play that shit.
I do have an SSD, two of them, one an NVME, it's a huge improvement over HDD. I was talking about OS's.
>hard drive does everything you need
>familiar and works
>holds more storage and isN'T SPYWARE
BUT... BUT SSD IS BASED!!! I LOVE WHEN DADDY GOVERNMENT AND SAMSUNG SPIES ON ME
I love when my SSD forces me to restart for updates and it adds back disc defrag software I've uninstalled already. Not to mention the ads it overlays on my desktop. I bought a very big very expensive samsung tv thanks to that.
money, and time spent on doing labor is something normies can't do normally. you need a splash of tism.
>time spent on doing labor
Oh, not the whole five minutes it takes to install a drive!
>HDDs
>more space
>cheaper
>SSDs
>less space
>more expensive
>b-but.. but it loads games 3 seconds faster!
Gee I wonder why people don't buy into the ssd scam.
>3 seconds
This is a really weird cope. Just admit you're poor and can't afford one, or you're underage and your parents won't buy you one.
>Y-YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! GAMES LOAD A LITTLE FASTER! ITS WORTH THE EXTRA SIX THOUSAND I PAID, I DIDN'T WASTE MY MONEY!
Cope.
>THE EXTRA SIX THOUSAND I PAID
to add on the difference is fricking night and day i have to play diablo with a friend and wait 10 seconds for him to load the dungeon
>2:28
wow it literally was only 3 seconds
you should only use hdds for archival purposes or older titles, never for modern gaming. a 1tb ssd is only $50
Now compare the price of 1Tb of SSD space and 1Tb of HDD space. I'm not wasting my sata slot on a drive with a grand total of 1 fricking Tb of storage.
>less space
>more expensive
uh not anymore dude this isn't 2015 lmfao you can buy an SSD for the same price of what HDDs used to be going for. I can understand if you still have them, and they haven't become obsolete yet with what you play, but I wouldn't EVER go and buy an HDD, before an SSD, or an NVMe
>expensive
isn't a 1TB NVMe sold for like 70$ nowadays
Yeah, you can get a Samsuno 970 right now for $55 at Amazon, with a 2 TB 980 for $100.
Yeah but you better pay attention to write speed, because if you don't you're pretty much paying for dogshit.
even a cheap SSD is going to have better write speeds than a spinning drive.
10tb NVMe are actually sold for $20.
An SSD to a HDD is like a CRT to an OLED monitor. It's night and day difference.
only playing an SSD is still an upgrade for an old video game for the most part, playing games meant for CRT on anything other than CRT is garbage. only extremely old games won't play nice with SSDs and that depends on how they handled memory/storage
HDD - Maximum 200mb/s speed
Gen4 SSD - 6.50-7.50GB/s
it's like it's a law they can enforce. You will just get longer load times and worse pop-in.
I bet it will run fine on linux,where the OS is not CONSTANTLY accessing the hard drive for some autistic reason
imagine not having an SSD in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty Three

Yeah just like every PC owner has a 4090? Visit hardware threads some time, you'll see even more outlandish claims there.

I've always been a budget gamer. I made an exclusion for the Steam Deck though. Fricking love that thing. It runs games pretty well too.
Right now I think if you're not crazy about modern AAA games you can keep older hardware for some time without missing out on much. Deck is probably the best solution for that as well, my friend got it as a sidegrade for emulation and he's been playing more games than ever simply because he has an excuse to just boot something up for 15 minutes on a trip, that shit's magical. I'm really tempted myself.
bro get it i feel like a kid again playing games i normally wouldn't be able to prop myself up to play for hours without anything else going on. i can play vidya, and throw a movie in the background while comfortably in my couch. it was super comfy the other week we lost power, and i just played KH on my deck for 4 hours.
yes, ssds have been a thing on PC for a decade.
I am a poorgay and even I have an SSD+HDD combo, and externals too. Going pure HDD is moronic, because most games will take 5-10min of waiting vs 20 seconds of seeing a quick neat piece of loading screen artwork.
>most games will take 5-10min of waiting
Which ones? I've never seen anything like that personally. The only game that was loading slow for me was MH:W but it was actually a CPU problem, it's real fast after I upgraded.
modded skyrim primarily or any modded game that is using CE.
I never tried it but a friend of mine is an avid Skyrim modder and I don't think he ever complained about loading times. He managed mod himself into the game getting fully stuck on loading a couple times though.
He might of not complained about it, but it's 100% there as someone who avidly plays heavy modlists I had to use open cities when it was still a thing to actually get around load times as much as possible, but when I got them they were there FOR A WHILE.
My PC from 12 years ago had SSDs. Consoles didn't get SSDs until this gen.
>he doesn't have an ssd
Even a 2TB m.2 is affordable these days, how the frick don't you have any kind of SSD in your PC.

Can't tell if you're a genuine schizo or just shitposting, gunna give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume you're just pretending to be moronic
Read the fricking archive newbie. There's documented proof of a Samsung coverup operation to hide their keyloggers. The keyloggers installed onto Samsung & friends SSDs are blacklisted by antiviruses and are located on a hidden paritition inaccessible to the user, only visible through company override protocols on the SSD. This shit got memoryholed before you newbies were even out of diapers.
>There's documented proof of a Samsung coverup operation to hide their keyloggers
Proofs?
Read the archive. Samsung pays industry media plants to surpress coverage of Samsung keyloggers installed on ssds. Every ssd comes preinstalled with a samsung keylogger and spyware. Samsung will deny this and will provide coverup statement that the monitorization tools are for "system benchmarking" and "performance monitoring".
Do not fricking buy an SSD. If you have one, destroy it. Best way to do so is in the microwave, then take a hammer and smash the SSD into pieces. Then take the fragments and scatter them in small piles away from each other and away from powerlines

so you believe not only that their software is better than NSA's
but that their hardware has hidden wireless modems, battery powered, small enough to hide inside a 2230 m.2 somehow, which transmits everything to samsung servers, presumably because samsung is powerful enough to backdoor ADIFFERRENT CONFIGURATIONSs of every country's 2/3/4/5g towers or beam to a sekret samsung satellite, and that whitehate hackers, EEs, NASA, or spectrum analizyers never found this.
i hate samsung, they may be an evil corp that controls 40%(iforgetexact) of s.korea, and represent everything wrong with japanese work culture amped up to twice.
but they do not have the negative square root power of TSMC and NSA combined.

Thats a standard for a bethesda game
Cant wait for bethesdrones to defend it when this version of starfield comes out
How long until someone mods skyrim onto a planet
Who the frick doesn't own an SSD in 2023?
it's simple realy
it likely use the same loader as FO4
said loader resulted in skyrocketing loading times when using hd textures
in FO4 currently you need two mods to use the HD textures dlc, one of them replace the loader entirely
but it was cheaper for bethesda to just put ssd as a requierement, it just works
not just this, but most modlist for FO4 actually require you to compress the BSAs, because even on SSD it takes a while.

All I see is people calling out Bethesda on their incompetence which is always the correct thing to do. Unless you're a marketer who's cornered into defending their games performance, in which case boy I don't envy you.
>telling people they should get an SSD because video games are just gonna need them because current gen consoles also use them are marketing shills
holy shit are you like HDD shills scared you're gonna die soon
Come on bro, SSDs are cheap as frick right now. I paid like 90 bucks for a 2tb sn850x
You paid for a keylogger and spyware. If its that cheap... newsflash buddy, YOU'RE the product.

challenge accepted, todd.
How comes this is coming to steam anyways? Wouldn't usually Microsoft try shill their own store or do they have some deal with steam?
I wish Senjougahara was my wife
i prefer kanbaru personally
they have a deal with Steam because they make much more money selling their games through Steam+their store than only their store. all the publishers, BUT UBISOFT, are sticking with Steam. Ubisoft is trying their own store again
they never stopped trying thier own store. even if you bought ubishit during epic years, before epic, and after epic you still have to install uplay (now called connect) making it completely pointless to buy ubi games anywhere else but thier own store
for all of EA's faults it was an extremely based move to not force an Origin install with the Dead Space remake
more companies need to do that, like I already fricking bought the game why do you need me to make an account??
I know Division 2 at least let me just open an individual client of it like EA does, but I noticed Wildlands on Xbox forced the whole ass storefront on me.
>PC gaymers still using decade old hardware
It's current year, stop being a third worlder.
Starfield? more like slopfield
Happy 2016 anon
i surpass the recommended requirements but itll probably still run like shit because creation engine
i still cant get a consistent 60 fps in the fallout 4 city areas in the current god damn year
it's either unmodded, or not modded the right way. i am on i5 2500k with a GTX 1060 and im on life in the ruins, and shit runs great.
what mods
please god im on a 5700x and a 3070 ti
go to wabbajack. they have these premade lists you can easily edit, and frick around with. the one i am using is called life in the ruins. it makes modding a frick ton easier they even have premades for skyrim, and tale of two wastelands.
Who doesn't have a SSD in 2023?
it's not about needing a ssd, most people have one
it's about why it need a ssd wich is a fair concern with bethesda's history of terrible optimisation
schizos screaming about spyware and keyloggers apparently
it's a requirement because modern game consoles have them, that's it, the game won't literally require it
>the game won't literally require it
if that was the case they wouldn't specify it, most games don't
>if that was the case they wouldn't specify it
Sysreqs are always bullshit and are inflated for damage control just to be safe. Seeing this as a requirement in a Bethesda game of all studios raises a pretty obvious red flag. They're counting on people complaining about performance so they had to add this. That's all there is to it. Me personally I have a 1Tb SSD but I won't dedicate 1/10 of it to a Beth game, it's a simple as that.
Will i be able to get 1440p 60 fps with my 3070ti?
It's a Bethesda game, so of course not.
probably not
not without modding
bethesda is moronic and probably only ran the games internally on SSD based rigs, you are still gonna be able to run the game but it's gonna have massive loadtime problems and probably asset streaming since it's gonna be unoptimized already and even more so for an SSD
>not having a SSD in 2023
I'm pretty sure the hard drive is the least of your concerns if you're that far behind in terms of tech
>will just end up downloading it for "free" on my SeX
One day I'll upgrade my GPU. Still using a 1080.
your SeX is running this piece of shit at 30 fps, something your 1080 will be able to go above
You think? It's not a big deal for me. I've been moving away from PC gaming lately.
Sucks for you

So what happens if you run it from a hdd?
It will display a picture of an SSD and a "real pioneers use SSDs" line.
nerve gas
not to defend him, but my roommate had no issues on his specific rig. it's not unusual to get a "works on my machine :^)" situation, especially if he happened to have the exact same setup they had in testing
do you gamers really not have at least a 3TB SSD for games?
No because none of the games I play get above 100Gb in size. This won't be an exception.
>Ganker crying about 4K and raytracing 24/7
>Muh meme muh meme

Slurp that israelite-dick, goy.
No good games came out since PS3 times so it's understandable.
Ganker is predominantly underages and thirdies so it's no surprise they can't afford $100
It's amusing to see Sammy agents vigorously defend their company. Thinking I wouldn't notice. Kek
>Not having SSD as a PC gamer
I guess this is why they call PC gamers now PCmustard race now.
some people here do not understand two important things
1. there are less and less cross-gen games (that are released on ps4 and xbox one), that means they are being optimized for the new consoles
2. the new consoles have an integrated SSD, and it is not only that fact, but the devs and companies will not take the time to optimize shit (like always), in other words they will not worry about optimizing things for HHD, only for SSD which is the base where they work their games now
>optimizing things for HHD
Storage is storage. If your game literally can't handle longer load times there's something fundamentally broken in it.
I don't think it's that it can't handle being on an HDD I think it would just be 20min long load times or longer which is why the advisory is presented.
from what little i know, the games won't be optimized for an HDD, which means "longer load times" could mean sitting there 10 minutes every time the game has to load shit in, like entering a new cell in a bethesda game
remember /vint/? there are a frickton of brazilians posting on this board, don't confuse PC master race with the toaster monkeys
don't be ridiculous anon
if a game is made based on an SDD, where the read speeds are much faster than an HDD, obviously a game will not run optimally on an HDD, since the speeds were adapted on a SSD so that, for example, the textures (which are heavier) will load faster
I'm not saying that games won't run, they will.
both Rift Apart and Starfield
but I assure you that there will be stutters, slowdowns, and the textures will look ugly and take longer to load, in both games installed on a HDD
and by the way if you did not know, the Steam Deck also has an SSD, so both games will run better than on PC with a HDD
most modern games can run on hdd, if your game need an ssd it mean it have poor performance
simple as
>most modern games can run on hdd
like what games?
the unoptimized port of tlou part 1, can run fine on a hdd, only load times are longer
same with returnal
forgot to add, if for you a game that needs ssd is poorly optimized
in the next year, every new game will be
While that might be true, we've already seen that SSDs don't save console games from shit performance on consoles they were developed for. The games are in fact fundamentally broken. They might load fast but that's probably the least of your problems in games like Jedi Survivor or Forespoken. To actually get value from an SSD in gaming you can't just buy any cheapo drive, you need and NVME with a good controller, otherwise it won't even match the console loading times. Not to mention your CPU also comes into play if we're talking loading times.
>The games are in fact fundamentally broken
Of course, I don't deny that, even though I know that PC ports in general have had problems for years, especially those coming from Japan, these last years have been the worst for pc game ports
in fact I don't think that developers don't take advantage of the excuse to develop and work less, but it's also obvious that if developers are "lazy" all the big textures and big workloads, they will make them work better on a ssd, that's why I say they won't optimize shit because they don't do it anymore, and now that new consoles use ssd by default, everything will be worse
nvme drive is an ssd
no, and it may be a long time before they do, as it happened with pic rel
https://twitter.com/Naughty_Dog/status/1668682177964556288
my steamdeck has an nvme drive
As far as I know Bethesda hasn't said anything about whether Starfield will be playable on Deck
they said something similar to "we're looking into it but don't expect it"
i can safely say it won't.
>the pc gamers of Ganker once again show how poor they are again
just get a ps5 or xbox already you fricking morons, they are meant for people like you
The only person too poor to afford a SSD here is some schizophrenic who thinks radio waves install keyloggers
Not all of us get Samsung paychecks, Kim.
Why can't games load a moronic amount of shit into ram instead?
Like say for example you were to have 64gb of ram, would you really need an SSD then?
Why would you buy 64GB of RAM instead of a larger SSD?
>why would you buy ram when you can buy a spyware and rootkit machine?
RAM is used for everything. You don't need to migrate data from one stick of RAM to another. This alone makes it more convenient to replace with better payoffs too (bigger SSD only gives you more long-term storage)
The 6800XT fricking destroys the 2080, even in RT. It's just above a 2080Ti.
Why are spec sheets like this always so out of whack?
My GTX960 is better than all those cards.
Every game "requiring" an SSD so far works on an HDD, so I always read it as recommended regardless.
I've been seeing loading screens since the PS1 era when they were far more frequent and annoying, and if I could tolerate them back then I sure can tolerate them now. Just light a cigarrette or some shit.
i think im good
>intel cpu
>amd gpu
>like $600 in storage
waste of fricking money. this is why i badly wish we had communism. consumers are fricking moronic with their spending.
two samsung drives too. such a moron. who buys a brand who puts rootkitds on their drives? and they had that bug were 980's will kill themselves because of the firmware.
Nice anon, very nice.
How's the new DDR5?
I'm hesitant to upgrade, since its 1.5x speed in exchange for 2x latency
I would wait a for the next generation or two. DDR5 finally maturing + Intel working their shit out with eCores, I/O speeds / latency etc.
your specs anon, are similar to what i had before i upgraded to my 13700k. i have a 10850k and a 2080 super lol. i also had the msi z490 unifiy. very nice build anon.
ddr5 has been mind blowing. the amount of bandwidth is insane. my 5200mhz, which is not the fastest ddr5 kit at all, far from it, pulls in 88gb a second in reads compared to the 41gb my ddr4 3200mhz kit did in aida64. the shear amount of bandwidth increase makes up for the increase in latency.
i really want to get a 6000mhz 64gb kit though. problem is there are not that many, and on 12th and 13th gen, the memory controller shits itself when you go 64gb or more. becomes harder to run. the 5200mhz 64gb kit i got was one of the few that were rated to work with my motherboard. most were all 4800mhz or lower. the highest was a 5600mhz kit and i couldn't find it in stock.
>240gb SSD's are literally $20
lol
in my third world country that's a months salary pretty much

it is your problem. we are a global world now. all world your problem. america leads the world. consequences of that is hearing people like me tell you things. you don't want to hear me, then don't do things that make my life harder than it is already. most of the world is not america. stop acting like it is.
Why should I give a frick about some monkey in some shithole part of the world?
you rule the world. if you want to rule the world, then suffer the consequences of it. we didn't ask for to play world leader but you wanted to. so now you have to hear from us and we won't be quiet.
stop making games that only americans can play at decent performance. if you want to be mr global world leader, then start taking the 99% of the world into consideration.
I'm sorry to say but that anon does not in fact rule anything. He probably doesn't even own clean pants.
he's an american. as a citizen of that country he has a voice over his government rulers. he has influence on game studios. he can put pressure on them to make it that game companies have to listen to those not fortunate enough to be born in america and high standard of living. poor in america is equivalent of middle class in my backyards third world country. americans don't realize how lucky and blessed they are.
but that said they need to realize world is not like america. not all of us can afford even hardware that's five years old.
>as a citizen of that country he has a voice over his government rulers.
I'm not American but anyway.
Keep going on your little tyrade monkeyboy. I'm gonna close this thread now and your existence is gone.
I hate thirdies so much it's unreal. I wish we could go back to the world where you "people" didn't have internet.
That's oxymoron because if it wasn't for the internet, USA would've already collapsed under it's own weight.
Only thing that keeps USA afloat are foreign conflicts and the only thing that keeps them from getting out of hand is propaganda USA spreads to the rest of the world via internet, just like hollywood slop used to do before the globalization of internet.
buying games?
wait until you see how much it costs to buy the GPU you will need to run the game
ITT: SEAmonkeys chimpout their potato pc's lack an upgrade everyone else has had for years
For over a decade*
Other than watching bugs compilation I don't give a shit about another of their craps.
The recommends specs are a 5 year old gpu and a 4 year old cpu. The recommends specs for skyrim was an 3 year old gpu and a 4 year old cpu. Why are people acting like this is a huge jump when comparatively the recommend specs are lower than it was for skyrim?
I think a lot of people are still running 10 series.
The average Gankerisitor is a poorgay and did not have a PC powerful enough to run Skyrim when that game first launched
That said upgrading your PC for the sake of playing a Bethesda game at launch is extremely stupid
I was originally going to build one for starfield, but now I just tell myself I am doing to for witch fire
fricking europoors
how the frick can you not have tbs of ssds in your pc
The 125gb SSD requirement ensured I won't even bother pirating in the next 10 years or so. That's 150-200gb with mods that would make it worth playing, just so you can start playing and realize it still sucks. Then you uninstall. I'll just skip those steps.
SSDs are too unreliable
As opposed to consumer grade spinning platter HDDs well known for their reliability
>1070ti minimum
What? The game looks noticeably worse than Cyberpunk and all that asks of you is a 1060.
How well does cyberpunk run on a 1060
Textures at high and a mix of low and medium settings for everything else got me 60fps at 1080p.
He's trolling you morons
If you dont have an SSD in this day and age you're legitimately moronic. You can get a decently sized one for like 50 bucks now, like 1TB I think. There's no excuse to be playing video games and running your OS on a HDD anymore
>but those cheap ones suck dick!
then buy a better one for 100 bucks or accept that buying dogshit gets you dogshit, it's not like your HDD was 800 usd and will last you forever

You do understand the 2080 came out four years ago and modern equivalents sell for like $400?
>sell for like $400
Used don't count.
Anon, the 4060, which mogs the 2080 even if its the limpdick runt version of the 40 series, costs $500. That's like the high end of that price range. You can get cheaper cards for new.
That's a 500 dollar card (that costs 100 more in my country but that's not the point) that has 8 gigs of vram that will make her obsolete sooner than Starfield will be in a playable state. Even if I somehow cave in and get one, it won't be enough to run at 60fps, at 1080p, a resolution that is getting replaced by 1440p at last.
>Even if I somehow cave in and get one, it won't be enough to run at 60fps, at 1080p
Yes it will. Even the cheapest modern twin fan cards are designed for 1440p resolutions at 60fps on medium. This is complete dogwater you're talking.

>the ssd drives are literally FREE lmao p-poorgay!
I would rather have a good HDD than a cheap SSD.
To me the most important quality of ANY electronic is duration, and my HDD is still doing well 15 years later, SSDs don't even last 5.
>SSDs don't even last 5.
This is the biggest poorgay cope I've witnessed yet. My current Samsung SSD is like 7 years old.
Once again I will tap the sign.
Let me guess, these are tests done by ramming the drives over and over with massive amounts of data to the point of failure. Basically akin to maxing out a GPU to 100+ degrees and then saying the fail state is X amount of years.
https://www.backblaze.com/blog/ssd-drive-stats-mid-2022-review/
My first SSD is nearly 8 years old and has barely reached 1/3rd of its maximum TBW. You won't kill an SSD through normal use and it's moronic to b***h about SSDs not lasting long if you write terabytes to them daily in isolated tests
>installer says SSD is required
>at least one of your detected disks is an SSD
>allows it to install to HDD
Do you guys not have SSDs?
>125GB
I was already not going to buy it
Imagine wanting to play this clunky piece of shit anyway. A poor No Mans Sky.
Is it really time to filter "SSD" and "HDD"
Should've done that back when Sony was marketing its magical drive which turned out to be fricking nothing.
>16 GB of RAM
>1070 Ti
>brand new i5
If I hadn't already seen the gameplay reveal I might have actually believed that Bethesda were finally making a game that didn't look like absolute dogshit.
How big of a difference is something like an M2. PCIe gen 4 vs some SATAshit?
>Minimum OS: Windows 10 version 22H2
>1070ti
Wait what? It was 1060 last I checked. It's going to filter like 80% of pc users with these ridiculous specs.

>A modern game asking for specs above 2016 is ridiculous
The 1070ti has not been fricking relevant for at least three years.
All the popular PC games don't need hardware past 10xx series since they're either old or well optimized. Most people have no reason or desire to upgrade.
I don't give a frick about modern games but even I have a 1tb nvme
>people actually want to play this slop
jesus h there are so many better games, why play this crap
Name some so we can laugh.
NTA, but My Pig Princess, Aurelia and Innocent Witches

Name. Some.
>tfw 1070

They're literally at the cheapest they've ever been in nearly a decade
All games should be designed for using SSDs. Having gigantic bloated installs with redundant data so people using HDDs can play the game at a reasonable speed is a waste of my disk space. Having a game designed to have load screens instead of data feeds is a waste of my resources and a waste of my time. I don't have a top-of-the-line PC so that I can waste 30 minutes of every night dealing with the storage problems of dumb poor c**ts who couldn't even make it through a community college and live paycheck-to-paycheck without the ability to purchase a $80 storage solution that has been commonplace for a decade.
Starfield shouldn't be known as the game that requires SSDs - every fricking game should. If you don't have an SSD, then frick you. I ban/kick/eject everyone who has the sheer audacity to force everyone to wait just 10 seconds longer. I'm here to play video games, not watch burger flippers load games at the pace of their income.
