“Intel Arc A770 does not meet the system requirements for Starfield”

“Intel Arc A770 does not meet the system requirements for Starfield”

After many years of waiting, Bethesda’s first new game world in a long time, Starfield, has been released. As is typical for a new game, the game requires powerful hardware, but it also requires working drivers – something Intel has become aware of in connection with the launch. Since then, the company has released drivers to make Starfield playable with Arc graphics cards.

Support deaf customers with compliments along the same lines copy and paste

However, those who purchased either the Intel Arc A770 or A750 and were hoping for technical support from Bethesda will be disappointed. A user experiencing certain crashes on the Intel Arc A770 received a friendly reception in response from customer support, where they wrote that they are happily looking into the issue. The next moment, it is determined what type of graphics card the user has and that it does not meet the minimum requirements – AMD Radeon RX 5700 or Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 Ti (or equivalent / note.).

When a graphics card does not meet system requirements, a graphics card signed by Radeon or Geforce, let support declare that the troubleshooting they offer is “limited.” This is because some troubleshooting may damage the system, but in what way it is not clear. Which further confirms the obvious that the “solution” may not be what the user was hoping for, in addition to that Bethesda values ​​the “understanding” of the user.

The irony is completed by the fact that the user is of course welcome to ask further questions and Bethesda is only too happy to provide the service. They also thank the user for his continued interest and support for the company.

Intel Arc A770 has better performance

What may seem strange about Bethesda’s minimum requirements is that the Intel Arc A770 generally has better performance than both the AMD Radeon RX 5700 and Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 Ti in many other gaming titles. It’s likely that Bethesda isn’t interested in spending time improving Intel’s architecture, as it’s currently much smaller out of the three players.

For those who have an Intel graphics card that is less than a year old, there is a solution – upgrading your computer. Aside from the graphics cards mentioned in the system requirements, the equivalent in terms of performance should be sufficient, provided it does not have Intel or Arc in the name.
