I find all the jokes in these comments about having 4090’s particularly hilarious considering that the problems seem to be with NVIDIA drivers and performance is better on AMD.
Part of the reason is because starfield is cpu intensive, and its not often that cpus get taxed like it does in starfield. Nvidia gpus have a higher cpu overhead, especially the 4090 in any resolution under 4k.
Ive played the game with the same CPU across three different nvidia cards. My CPU is rarely above 50%…My GPU is constantly pegged, my best GPU (a new 4060ti 16GB) and most recent is pegged at usage and at its top clock speed but not pulling full wattage, which is quite odd. On day 1 i was using a Strix 1070 8GB and it was…rough. In fact the dgpu on the laptop, a 1650ti-maxq largely outperformed it mainly because it can do VRS.
The CPU, for reference is an i7-1165g7 capped at 35 watts. It generally runs at 4.1 Ghz @ 60-65 C. So its not a primo CPU compared to a desktop by any means, even for the 11th gen series.

Which kind of makes sense because Xbox uses AMD.
plus the partnership with amd
