it also doesn't hurt that the there are 2 steam servers San Jose and Sacramento really close to me and the Los Angeles one also isn't too far.

I mean São Paulo has a server as well, and several relatively close by, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, etc. - also get good speeds from Buenos Aires CDN and all. Just my downstream's a bit out of date, it's been this speed for the past 10 years or so :oops:

and yeah Morrowind... it may have been an amazing, amazing game in its time, but it very much crosses the line of "game is too ambitious for the tech of the time" - the extremely poor graphics make it almost intolerable to play in the context of what it is, it really shows how Oblivion was groundbreaking in that regard. Unmodded Oblivion looks silly for today's standards but it is very much playable

I'm really hoping that Morrowind gets the RTX remix treatment.... I only played it on the OG Xbox and it was so bad.
OpenMW I can't recommend enough. One of the greatest community projects, along with tesMP. Check it out.

That's the one good thing about steam I guess is the servers are pretty smartly placed.

Thanks! I will check them out for sure.

For sure the steam version will unpack itself once the game is available to play witch says the 6th even if you have the Uber Milk Edition which of course I do.



It's always been fast for me. 10-15m for a 100GB game less if it's smaller which to be fair is about how long it would take me to download the game in the first place.
How fast is your internet speeds

AMD hasn't provided a code yet... what's the point of giving the Premium edition if they aren't going give codes out before Sept 6th.
The code will be sent out on sept 1st for steam.

It will be a hit alright.
For starters, it hits your pocket. Then there'll be probably a performance hit, and here's hoping it isn't a s-hit in the end.
Isn't everyone getting it for free with XBGP or an AMD 6000-series purchase?

IIRC it comes with the baby RX 6600-series so you could literally buy a $180 card to grab the $70 game, and sell the card as new (open box) on ebay if you have no use for it.

Personally I really like the 6600 and can always find a use case for one. It's by far the best cheap gaming card for the money right now.

I'm preloaded for the base game with Game Pass. I've been tempted to buy the premium edition to play this weekend, but that's $100 I don't see the need to spend. If I'm not bored of the game by the time my GP sub expires (next June) I'll wait for a 50% off sale.

Ryzen 9 7900 and up or RX 6700 and up get Premium
Ryzen 5 7600 through 7 7800X3D and RX 6600, 6600 XT, 6650 XT and 7600 (lower end parts) get Standard

Still a decent deal I suppose

The difference between Premium and Standard is how gullible you are. You get the same game with Standard, but you don't get the skins pack or a digital artbook.

Fun fact; The digital artbook has already been leaked and is out on the web, and this is primarily a first-person, single player game where neither you nor anyone else will ever spend more than ten seconds looking at skins.

You're just pre-ordering the DLC. Over here the standard + DLC costs the same as the premium. I've said it a hundred times before, DON'T PRE-ORDER, it's only encouraging publishers to pull more of this stupid pricing/segmentation bullshit that we all loathe.

Also, if you buy the DLC separately when it comes out, it looks like you get other perks such as a steelcase and constellation patch, whatever those are. That's not something premium purchasers will get according to the edition chart, yet more evidence that this is all just smoke and mirrors to hide the true price of the game.

429,00 BRL for the Premium here... Hilariously expensive.

I only got Premium because I'm a massive Todd Howard fangirl (despite being a rather towering dude :roll:)

im trying to decide if i want to go back to windows 10 before this game launches. but hardware unboxed review says x3d chips work better on win 11 and they show gains in fps... but that was a long time ago, win 10 might be fine with x3d chips now. i don't know what to do. i just don't like win 11 really. bleh

I'm pretty sure I'm just going to buy a 7800XT, unless the 7800XT is a turd, of course, at which point I'll grab a 7900XT.

I don't need a new GPU but I do want Starfield so there's effectively a $70 discount on either a sidegrade or an upgrade which I can turn into profit or justification respectively.

yeah, thats why i tell people my 7900 xt only cost me 605 bucks. cause i got it prime day for 705 basically tax free cause prime visa cashback prime day savings bonus, and starfield premium free, which is a game i really wanted... cause i am craving so mega sci fi exploration game at the moment.

i already know first thing im doing, ignoring the story mostly, and becoming a space trucker. going to make some big bucks. upgrade my ship to take on pirates and that type of stuff. hell, might become an offensive space trucker, just search out the pirates and grow my transport company with their ships, lmao i love games that let me do anything i want

Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
im trying to decide if i want to go back to windows 10 before this game launches. but hardware unboxed review says x3d chips work better on win 11 and they show gains in fps... but that was a long time ago, win 10 might be fine with x3d chips now. i don't know what to do. i just don't like win 11 really. bleh
It depends entirely on which X3D chip you have. The single CCD models are better on 10 (5600X3D, 5800X3D, 7800X3D).
You want W11 with a mixed vCache chip, meaning the 7900X3D or 7950X3D - because the improved scheduler in W11 is required to get the right processes running on the best CCD.

win 11 sees gains over win 10 by a decent amount in gaming... so I don't know, I guess I will just stick with 11 and stop ******** :roll:

I don't need a new GPU but I do want Starfield so there's effectively a $70 discount on either a sidegrade or an upgrade which I can turn into profit or justification respectively.

Windows 11 is fine, just use O&O ShutUp10+ and Winaero Tweaker to get it the way you want. Start11 is also a great pick, and worth the fistful of dollars. :D
