According to our GPU benchmarks hierarchy, AMD's RX 5700 runs about 25–30 percent faster than the GTX 1070 Ti, and as you'll see momentarily, those recommendations are bass-ackward: You need a proportionally more powerful Nvidia GPU, not the other way around. GTX 1070 Ti launched in 2017, while the RX 5700 came out in 2019. The graphics cards are a pretty disparate selection. The baseline requirement seems to be at least a 6-core CPU, then, though we imagine you can go lower if you're willing to put up with some stuttering. AMD's Ryzen 5 2600X meanwhile also sports a 6-core/12-thread configuration, but it's far more recent, having launched in 2018. Core i7-6800K was an Intel HEDT 6-core/12-thread part from 2016- not exactly a super common pick. The minimum specs don't look too demanding, with some interesting picks. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700.Intel Core i7-6800K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X.
#Gpu compare update#
Either a last-minute update to the game messed things up, or Bethesda needs to put a lot of additional effort into tuning the game to make it run better. Based on the system requirements, we'd expect the Nvidia GPUs to be much closer to their AMD counterparts than what we're currently seeing. performance on non-AMD GPUs right now is very questionable.
#Gpu compare drivers#
(Update: Based on other tests from around the web, it looks like 13900K wins by a decent margin.) In order to avoid swapping drivers too many times, we're starting with AMD GPUs, then Nvidia, then Intel (which now has a "Starfield emergency fix" driver).Īlso. We're using high-end hardware, basically as fast as you can get with a modern PC, though AMD's Ryzen 9 7950X3D might exceed it in some cases. We're expecting a lot of interest in Starfield, so we plan on testing most "supported" graphics cards on our test PC. So there's relatively tight integration with FSR 2, and that's almost certainly in part because the game often needs it to hit modest framerates, even on high-end hardware. For example, the Low and Medium presets use 50% render resolution, High bumps that to 62%, and Ultra to 75%. By default, Starfield enables some level of upscaling on every GPU and setting. The good news is that FSR 2 works on every GPU the bad news is that it might not look quite as good as DLSS or XeSS - not XeSS in DP4a mode, mind you, as that's different than XeSS running on Intel Arc's XMX cores.īut there's more to it than simply not supporting DLSS or XeSS. Note also that this is an AMD-promoted game, and while AMD says it doesn't restrict game developers from supporting other tech like DLSS and XeSS, it does partner with developers to "prioritize" AMD technologies. A patch and/or new drivers for Intel and Nvidia are definitely needed. But at least Intel doesn't crash or have as much display corruption as before.
#Gpu compare 1080p#
Sept 7, 2023: We've added initial Intel Arc results to the 1080p charts.
