No, Todd Howard doesn't make mistakes, you just have to buy a more expensive graphics card!
/s
Todd Howard doesn't do what Todd Howard does for Todd Howard. Todd Howard does what Todd Howard does because Todd Howard is... Todd Howard.
The Todd Howardest.
He permits you to bathe in the light of his Todd Howardishness.
It’s actually just pee, but not just any pee, Todd fucking Howard’s pee
Totally unrelated but did you know there's a promotion deal for AMD's latest and greatest RX7000 GPUs?
Best Buy had Starfield free with a 6700XT the other day when I was pricing out a move from Nvidia.
Sure but bundling the latest game with a gpu has been common practice by both green and red for a while. When the Egyptian assassins creed was coming out I remember seeing a card next to the GPUs at Microcenter saying you got it free with a qualifying purchase.
That's false, the mistakes are part of the experience.
It just works.
No matter how expensive your Intel Arc GPU was, Starfield won't run on it.
The Intel Arcs are really cheap though.
Also, Intel are going pretty hard with driver updates and fixes. I'm really hoping they make it, we need more competition.
The main issue is probably nobody works with Intel to do any testing before launch.
I took a gamble on the Arc 770 when I built my PC a few months ago, because I honestly am not too keen on the current GPU generation. Like why would I want to pay through my nose for cards that are incredibly power inefficient, with tendencies to catch fire to boot? The Arc series offered decent performance (save for old DX9 games and such, but I already had a GTX970 I could use for those if need be), and shocking amounts of memory, so I gave it a shot and I'm really happy with it.
I have some weird graphical glitches in FFXIV from time to time. It's nothing overly annoying, sometimes a box will flicker on the screen for a frame, and sometimes the light fades out briefly. Other than that I've had no issues, it's chugging along really well. My biggest (and only) gripe with the card is the control centre software not allowing you to remap keybinds. That's pretty dumb.
All that said, I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means, I don't buy all the latest AAA games at launch (often not at all, really) and I don't care much for maxing out my graphics and running at 900FPS.
