No love for the Zen 3 crowd?

These are just the 'recommended' specs for the latest gen AMD products. My personal Zen 3 rec specs for Starfield would look like this.

Legendary: Ryzen 7 5800X3D - Ryzen 9 5950X

Epic: Ryzen 7 5700X

Heroic - Ryzen 5 5600X

We have yet to see if the game will be more GPU or CPU intensive, I'm leaning more to it being GPU, or it might just be very well optimized for both. So we shall wait and see 🙂

Considering it will be locked to 30 FPS on consoles, I presume the main issue will be CPU utilization.
If they did a proper overhaul of their Creation Engine, it should perform well on a modern 6 Core CPU, but I doubt it.

On Steam the recommended CPU is a 3600X. I imagine Zen 2 is the target architecture, development for the game would have started well before Zen 3. The Xbox is a Zen 2 CPU as well, to my knowledge. I'm sure the 100MB cache that the X3D chips bring helps. Considering Bethesda contracted ConfettiFX to overhaul the rendering, the game probably runs very well.

I'm sure it'll be just fine with a 5950X and a 6950XT, and 128GB of RAM.  😁

I'm hoping my RX 6400 will be able to run it!?

Marginal at best. That card's performance is less than half that of the minimum recommended RX 5700. It'll probably run, but if you're determined to try your luck, you'd probably be better off trying it on Xbox Game Pass and turning all the graphics settings down.

As a general rule, I never recommend A-series boards. Minimal I/O and worse power regulation (due to the lower price target). Honestly, I'd recommend AM4 X470/X570 for the entry and/or mid-tier, but to each their own. Sure, AM5 still has an upgrade path, but AM4 has the 5800X3D and really cheap 5600 and 3600-series CPUs.
