Starfield had lots of problems, but I installed it on my slower (larger) NVME SSD first, that has like 5-700mb of read speed and it failed to load peoples’ faces and hands. On one of my faster drives (>2000mb read), had no problems. Not undermining the video but that’s the last time I saw a difference in a modern game.
