The creator tests the performance of a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB graphics card in the game Starfield, utilizing an MSI Gaming X version and a system equipped with a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and 32GB of RAM. Despite setting the game to 1080p resolution at the lowest settings and using FSR2 upscaling, the poor visual quality is observed, but the game manages to run above 30 FPS. Issues such as oxygen depletion, screen blurriness, and difficulty removing the in-game helmet are noted. Performance drops significantly in more demanding in-game environments, with FPS falling below enjoyable levels, particularly with explosions and higher resolution settings. At 720p, the game achieves 30+ FPS but remains visually unsatisfactory. Reducing the resolution to 360p with FSR2 upscaling improves frame rates but not visual clarity, leading to criticism of the game's optimization for older GPUs like the GTX 1060. The speaker concludes by expressing frustration over the trend of games not running at native resolutions, advising against purchasing the game with older GPUs, and thanking the audience for their support while promising more content in the future.

In this segment, the creator tests a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB model in the game Starfield, specifically focusing on the MSI Gaming X version of the card with the latest NVIDIA drivers. The system used includes a Ryzen 7 5800X3D and 32GB of RAM to avoid CPU bottlenecks. The game is set to 1080p resolution with the lowest settings, FSR2 at 69% sharpening, and a render resolution at 50% (540p). Despite the poor visual quality, the game manages to run at over 30 FPS, which is surprising given the intensity of Starfield. The creator criticizes the game’s default resolution scaling presets and questions the trend of games not running at native resolution. Additionally, there’s an issue with removing the character’s helmet in-game, highlighting some gameplay challenges.

In this part of the video, the host evaluates the performance of a GTX 1060 graphics card on a specific game. Initially, the host encounters issues with oxygen depletion and screen blurriness but then observes a playable FPS of 33, though the visuals remain subpar. Despite some visual disappointments, the game doesn’t stutter, and VRAM usage is within limits. Testing at a native 1080p resolution with FSR2 sharpening results in better visuals but insufficient performance at 27 FPS. In more demanding areas like cities, FPS drops further below enjoyable levels, particularly during explosions. The host expresses hope that a GTX 1070 TI, the game’s minimum requirement GPU, might perform better. At ultra settings and 75% resolution scale, the FPS drops to 15, suitable only for screenshots.

In this segment of the video, the speaker tests the gaming performance on a GTX 1060 at various settings and resolutions. Initially, at native resolution, the game experiences severe motion blur and low FPS, dropping to a slideshow-like 13 FPS, prompting the speaker to revert to low settings. Disabling upscaling and enabling FSR2 doesn’t improve performance significantly. The speaker notices that the game dynamically adjusts resolution, contributing to the visual noise and shimmer. When switching to 720p resolution, the image quality becomes extremely noisy despite achieving 30+ FPS. The gameplay remains blurry, and the speaker expresses a preference for pixelated graphics over blurriness. The segment concludes with a brief in-game combat demonstration at 720p resolution, highlighting continued visual dissatisfaction.

In this part of the video, the speaker critiques the poor performance and visual quality of a game running at 720p on a GTX 1060 GPU. They highlight how the in-game NPCs lack proper AI behavior, resulting in unrealistic interactions. They also test the game’s graphics further by reducing the resolution to 360p with FSR2 upscaling, but still find the visuals blurry and unsatisfactory, with frame rates around 50 FPS. The speaker expresses frustration over the general poor optimization of recent games and notes that many players are refunding the game due to these issues. They advise against purchasing the game with older GPUs like the GTX 1060, RX 580, RX 570, GTX 970, or GTX 980 because of similar performance concerns.
