According to Hans-Kristian Arntzen, a prominent open-source developer working on Vkd3d, a DirectX 12 to Vulkan translation layer, Starfield is not interacting properly with graphics card drivers.

I'm eagerly awaiting the radio silence from all the people blaming it on obsolete hardware lol

Overall I like the game though, it has a lot of very entertaining ideas.

You're just taking the claim of some random guy and a website at face value though.

It's not just "some guy", it's a translation layer developer posting all of his findings on his git: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/commit/88e4f300cc0b5b6f0880c1233d562cf506b546fb

It's also verified by Proton users noting a marked increase in performance with just a code commit. I'd urge anyone not to listen to this troll and go have a look.

This really isn't a good take when the "random guy" has provided proof, open source code demonstrating, and a relatively easy way to verify his claims (using his code).

It's all there out in the open if anyone has specific counter points, and this type of thing isn't an unusual situation with Bethesda developed games, or games on this engine.
