While I don't remember what your specs are, Bethesda has a habbit of putting high requirements for recommended. For example Fallout 4 had a recommended configuration of NVIDIA GTX 780 3GB/AMD Radeon R9 290X which at the time was sort of high end. The 290X released in 2013 and was AMD's top GPU and a 780 was two steps below Nvidia's Titan and Fallout 4 came out in 2015. But while PS4/Xbox one ran the game at 1080p 30fps, PC GPUs ran Fallout 4 quite a bit better:

So I wouldn't lose my hopes just yet

Yeah but, tbh, even with my 1080ti, and i7-6700k, 16gb DDR4 ram, and a 1440p monitor, F4 still ran like total arse, and still had to be modded to make it run semi decently, but places like downtown Boston were notoriously known for crippling frame rates.

It's not really just the high reco specs, it's that Beth are really shit at what they do, frame caps and all. F76 doesn't have the 60fps cap, and that game still runs like arse as well. I can absolutely see folks with even 4090's struggling with that game, and some folks are going to assume "Starfield=extremely high end game", not because it's using a repainted version of the creation engine, which was also based on Gamebryo, an already super ancient engine.

Bethesda, as much as I like their games, remain that one AAA studio, where their games come out buggy af, and no matter how much modding you do, their games never truly run as buttery smooth as say, Titanfall 2, or other RPG's that run smoother (hell, Dragon's Dogma ran smooth for me, and that was open world. They are that one company where their games running like arse is entirely on them and their engine, not because lil Timmy didn't have enough horsepower, and even then, when lil Timmy gets more horse power, it still doesn't make their games run smooth as silk.
