According to Bethesda Support, even the Intel Arc A770 GPU does not meet Starfield’s PC minimum requirements.
Yeah, that makes sense. They probably can’t properly support a video card they couldn’t get their hands on due to Intel not shipping it until late last year. They also aren’t that powerful of cards. Lastly the Intel drivers are brand new. Most engines are not treated against them, as such there are a lot of corruption bugs. Which makes sense because they weren’t able to get the cards early enough to support them. Since Intel has now discontinued their flagship arc card not even a year after release it’s unlikely any games will really support Intel gpus in the future.

Whaaaat? That’s disappointing ☹️ I was hoping finally there’d be some more competition
They didn’t discontinue their cards, only the limited edition one.
Ohh, thank you for the clarification!
You’re welcome :) I’m actually going to buy the 770 by the end of this year. Heard it works great on Linux.
For anyone still following this thread in confusion, the Limited Edition (LE) card is Intel’s equivalent of a Founder’s Edition card. Intel stopped producing LE cards, but their AIB partners are still producing their own SKUs.
Yup, it’s not in the specs that it supports intel graphics.
These days it’s expected that any directX/Vulkan supporting card can run just about anything with varying levels of performance, back in the day it was very very specific what a 3d game engine supported. If your card wasn’t on the list it wasn’t going to run outside of software mode unless the newer version of that card had backwards compatibility features. Also later on you had to worry about very specific shader features and direct x features being supported to even get the game to look right.
Just a bit interesting how times change. They definitely should have worked with intel a bit to get it to work, at least given them a copy with some time for them to work out their drivers to support it.
What’s the Intel equivalent to the nVidia 4080?
How is that relevant? RTX 4080 is not a the minimum requirement for Starfield.
there isn’t one. At the moment, they aren’t aiming that high. Their performance varies wildly from game to game, but at best, their most powerful card atm punches at about 3060 levels.
