i will list all my pc specs in a moment.. but i have 1 dream.. to play Starfield.. same bros that make fallout games
my pc is such
windows 10 .. 64 bit
AMD A8-8780... with 1 fan on top .. no other fans.. (open case)
psu antec 500W META
.. i only have 1 pci-e.. a network card
16gb DDR3 ram

i want to play starfield.. but it says my video is poopy....
please dont suggest nvidia.. im not here to debate which is better.. because you can already see which APU im using....
i want a not so huge gpu... that will fit in my power bracket because i want to do this without replacing anything

i moved to SE asia so i might have access to slightly better priced items....


oh and i dont need 200 fps to play starfield.. as long as it doesnt stutter.. years of being nose distance from a crt tv has damaged any ability to tell 20 fps to 200 fps apart..
dont know if its important but monitor chiworld 23" LCD...
 
Starfield for PC minimum system requirements whether from the Steam store or Microsoft store:
  • OS: Windows 10 version 21H1 (10.0.19043)
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel Core i7-6800
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 5700, NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 125 GB available space
  • Additional Notes: SSD required
Only the X-Box version has a physical disc so no optical drive is required.

Recommended specs bump this up to:
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, Intel i5-10600K
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti
Incredibly there are now laptop APUs that can meet these now, for those willing to spend double for portable gaming.
