Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC' (www.pcgamer.com)

Except it's literally not playable on my system, so I can't appreciate shit. I meet the minimum requirements, but the second I leave a building interior my fps goes from smooth as butter to unplayably choppy. This is with everything on low, and even the DLSS mod installed.

I'd accept my PC just isn't actually up to snuff if not for the fact other people with the exact same specs are saying they're playing at medium settings comfortably. The only way that makes sense is if Starfield IS, in fact, badly optimized.
