for me the game runs pretty well with 90+ fps on high and activated fsr2.
5800x 3D, 64 gigs of ram and a 6900XT I shot cheap during the great gpu collapse. And by the looks of the game this seems pretty reasonable to me.
I've got an 8086K and 3080, running on a 4K screen - with Ultra settings and FSR of 80% I'm getting 35-40fps, which honestly doesn't feel too bad. It's noticable sometimes but it's a lot smoother than the numbers suggest.
Because my CPU is a little long in the tooth, I've gone probably a bit hard on the visuals, but my framerate didn't improve much by lowering it. The engine itself has never really liked going past 60fps, so I don't know why people expected to be able to run 100+ frames at 4k or something.

AMD users are having a better time with it, unsurprisingly. I wish I hadn’t gone for Nvidia but too late for that.

I think there wil be patches and some updates to NVIDIAs shitty driver that will fix things in the future :) Otherweise yeah get an AMD GPU next time, dont fall for the NVIDIA Marketing. Using Radeons since the 9800 pro Bundle with Half Life 2 and never had any issues with them or their driver.

Hopefully. I’ve always been more of an AMD/ATI fan, but for this laptop the deal worked out to be better with an Nvidia card. But next time I’m not settling for it. AMD CPU and GPU is the way to go. Especially because I’m trying to daily on Linux and the driver side is much much nicer with AMD.

Sorry mate but 35fps on a 3080 with FSR is just objectively bad performance.
Starfield is not doing anything in terms of graphics or gameplay that other games that run 3-4 times as well aren’t doing.

That’s because they’re CPU limited, mate.
Easy 1440p60 on ultra everything with no scaling on my 3090. Frequently up in the 80-90 FPS range. This game runs fine. It’s not a “teetering mess” as you say.

What exactly is it doing that an 8086k is CPU limited to 35fps?

Completed some testing on my end, using intels PresentMon and sitting at 35fps average in New Atlantis my GPU busy is pegged at about 99% of the frame time, so nothing really.
I do get a bit of a CPU limitation when it's raining, but nothing significant, dropped to about 30fps.
Trying at 1440p with the same settings as the 3090 above got me around 50fps, 1440p is almost half the pixels of 80% of 4k as well, so that's not helping my GPU much!
