Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC' (www.pcgamer.com)

Whatever code they used to "unload" the texture was also kept for PC, because the same thing happened there. This would have been on an ATI 5870 that I played that. At least double the VRAM of any console at the time.

Man, remember when flagship GPUs were £300? Wtf happened to those days...

Heh. Good times.

Such a shame poor PC optimisation was what we kept instead of affordable cards.
