Outside other titles I maintain 80-120fps which made the performance drops more noticeable. I discovered my 5950X had issues later on, but it's unclear if that contributed to the problems, since it didn't crash during gameplay—only when idle then eventually stopped working completely. Starfield was especially upsetting because it ran mostly at 60 frames, making the areas with poor performance obvious. At that time I was using the DLSS workaround, and I think improvements have been made thanks to updates and official support. I haven't played since those patches because updating all the quality-of-life mods is a hassle. To be honest, the 7800X3D is delivering the most seamless gaming experience I've experienced so far. I don’t even bother updating the BIOS anymore—it just works perfectly.
