@0dd0f9c1 No, you don’t need an expensive GPU to get started with PC gaming. That’s my entire point. You can literally buy any PC and start gaming right away. 

Now do you want the best version of Starfield? Then yeah, you’ll have to get a GPU. But here’s the thing: the best version of Starfield isn’t achievable on console or cloud either. You need a PC with a discrete graphics card if you want Starfield on ultra settings at high framerates. 

Again, what are you even trying to achieve? If it’s a “playable” version of Starfield, you can get an affordable PC that does that. 

 @Chris Trottier my point is that I need a PC with a graphics card more than a GTX 1660 Super, 16GB of RAM and an AMD fx-8320 to play the game as God, I mean Todd Howard, intended. 

 @0dd0f9c1 Use an AMD Radeon RX 6600 instead and you can buy a PC that’s comparable to an Xbox Series X for $645. 

But you can run Starfield on a RX 5700 instead. Get that and you’ve drastically lowered your costs. 

 @0dd0f9c1 Here’s a video of Starfield running on an AMD Radeon RX 5700. As you can see, you can reach over 60fps on low settings running at 1080p. Personally speaking, I don’t think there’s that much of a difference in detail between low and high settings. 

Also, I prefer a lower resolution if it means I achieve a high frame rate.

Anyway, my point is that Starfield is more than playable even on a GPU like the RX 5700.

 @Chris Trottier sure, but how do Unreal Engine games run? I'm not primarily playing Starfield. I rely on Fortnite being streamed from the Cloud in that case, because Unreal Engine has been a mess since its inception.
