0:00.0	Hey, Brad, it's Saturday.
0:01.0	It's time to record your 80th hour of Starfield content for the week.
0:06.0	Starfield coverage continues with, I can't.
0:09.6	Hey, man, what's the best video card to run Starfield?
0:11.6	Why doesn't it support DLSS?
0:12.9	Where's the HGR on Windows?

1:15.1	I guess now that I think about it, I haven't noticed that in SDR, so maybe that is an HDR only thing.
