Kind of amazing how Bethesda manages to always be at least 5 years behind every other major developer on optimization. I recently picked up Fallout 4, my first attempt at the series, and I just completely lost interest, one of the main reasons being the absurd load times on a 7900xt.

I'd be shocked if it was your GPU causing long load times, that's not usually the culprit for that kind of thing unless you don't have enough VRAM. It's probably another part of your system the game arbitrarily dislikes, or it's just generally being shit.
Running it off a hdd prob
While I don't have an issue taking a dump on Bethesda this time the issue is either with Nvidia or Epic. The 50 series has been a shit show and wouldn't be surprised if the flagship model somehow preforms worse than last Gen cards. And UE5 is also a shit show. Games made with UE5 look like blurry shits unless you buy a $1000+ top of the line GPU because it's also a massive performance hog. If you're playing a game that looks like shit and runs like shit, it's probably using UE5.
i can't find the article for the life of me but i read an interview with a dev who basically said that the UE5 engine is fine unless you try to crank all of the visual bells and whistles on at the same time. Now imagine being a dev team trying to convince marketing not to use all of the features they paid for? Can we blame Epic and Nvidia?
