My wife is a gamer and her rig is a 3 year old gaming rig. 2080Ti, i9 9900KF, (no onboard graphics, unlocked) Giga MB and plenty of memory, 2ea M.2 Samsung 2TB drives. Basically a solid gaming computer in it's day. And well within the specs for Starfield recommended hardware.
The problem is that Starfield is amazingly glitchy. It stutters even on loading, the audio and video don't match, and the computer freezes non stop. Come to find out, we are not alone here.
Of course, we reduced the settings to medium, eliminated any graphics intensive settings as best we could, updated the Nvidia drivers and so on. Made zero difference. It's awful and utterly useless.
The thing is, her other games play perfectly, with sufficient FPS, no glitches and no lockups. Heck, when she really gets going, the video card fans crank up to 100%. That is not the case here. The fans are not spooling up. As I mentioned, the audio even hangs up on initial loading, before game play.
Any thoughts on how to deal with this?
