The GPU issues for Starfield continue. This time it is Intel Arc GPUs that are reportedly struggling to run the highly anticipated Bethesda RPG. Starfield is launching tomorrow and it looks like it is not just the previously reported Nvidia GPUs that are having performance issues with the game.
During the early access period, many gamers using Nvidia GPUs reported low framerates even on the lowest graphics settings. Modders have stepped up to release mods that add DLSS support, improving performance on some of the newer graphics cards.
Players have also shared on social media that Starfield is unplayable on the Intel Arc GPUs, as the game window refuses to show when using Intel GPUs such as the A750. The Windows Task Manager reportedly showed that the Starfield application was open and took up significant resources. However, attempts to bring the window to the foreground have been unsuccessful.
Frustrated players aired their grievances on social media prompting a response from Intel. The PC hardware manufacturer said that it is aware of the issue with Starfield on the Arc GPU. "We are aware of issues with [Starfield] on Intel Arc graphics," Intel tweeted. "We are working to improve the experience for the game's general release next week."
