According to Bethesda Support, even the Intel Arc A770 GPU does not meet Starfield's PC minimum requirements.

This feels like the discussion then Fallout 4 was released. People were getting 15fps in the locations like the outdoor cities and Bethesda blamed it on the PC.

The game runs flawlessly on our dev* and testing** computers

(Dev computers are $4000 top of the line systems)

(Testing computers are the $4000 top of the line systems that they used last year)

The answer is likely just that Bethesda coders are bad at optimization. They don't have to put out a quality product, so they never learn how to make one.

Yeah, when fallout 4 released I was getting sub-30 fps in city areas. It was atrocious. I haven’t had anything like that with starfield tho. Seems hardware specific

How did that end up then? Did they put patches and optimize it or what?

Fixed it but it took a few months—maybe even a year. It was a wild time. Lots of conspiracies about console version vs PC.
