Starfield PC Optimization Guide - Best Graphics Settings for 60 FPS!

can u do one for mfs2020 ?? thanks...really good job on this one.

This is the best setting video ive found. Also would like nvidia control center settings.

I set everything on low and still it runs 30-40+ fps 😂

My laptop Nvidia gtx 3050 and with Ryzen 7 so idk if thats the reason why my fps is low…

That is a damn good video, maxed my FPS without any felt optical input. Let alone the lighthing-setting and render scale interaction is pure gold. You deserve my first ever YT comment!

Should I still use DLSS over FSR if I have an AMD GPU?

So if i follow this tutorial You guarantee my fps will be lowered to 60? everyone in here with 12,1300 intels and not getting 60. what have you done to your pcs?

i think you should credit the modder who make the dlss option available

I have the game on an external ssd drive and had to switch it to performance mode in device manager it made the game smooth as butter 👌

Bethesda is dog shit. Just accept it. They aren’t good at developing games, the mod community is. End of story.

Cheers! I have an old RTX2070 (not the TI nor super one) - still in the cities I have 30+ FPS :) and the game also looks good - thank you :)

hi man
i have a i5 13500 with a 4090 and i couldnt get fps beyond 50 in the cities....any recommendations?

I did exactly like you and it gave between 43 and 50 fps, my PC is 12700k 32gb ram and 2070 Super, in upscaling I went to CAS, it was in FSR2 and it didn't exceed 40 fps.

These things do help, but I can't wait for the official mod tools to be released. This game like most Bethesda games won't be well optimized and look great until people are able to create unofficial patches, lighting mods, performance mods and general visual mods.

Significant Improvement. Thank much for DLSS mod. I can't understand its 2023 and PC still can't run a game stock. Screw developers who can't optimize their games.

Thanks for the DLSS link. I have a 3080 and could not really get that mod from nexusmods running. Without DLSS the fps are just too low. Why having a high end card when cannot game a AAA game in 4k/60 fps? Was really frustrated and deinstalled the game. This video gave me new hope again. Redownloading the game again now😊

I honestly downloaded the DLSS 3.5 and it runs so much better my card is quiet not like a jet engine.

Thanks a lot

Perfect video, thanks a lot man, the settings were super annoying to mess with. This is probably the most straight forward graphics setting video I’ve ever watched. Great job!

When i press f1 no menu pops up.

Great guide well done, hopefully Bethesda releases performance patches too

Top tip never run it off a hard drive. I learned this the hard way.😊 its by far the best performance gain you can get.

For the particle quality at Low, there is actually a visual artifact around people when they're in front of smokes or waterfall. You can see that very clearly in the waterfall in the Well and the smoke at your ship when it takes off.

And wouldn’t adding dlss turn off achievements since it’s a modification ?

I just wanna know how to make the space / skyboxes look better

Thank you for packaging a DLSS file for us. Really helpful man / above and beyond what anyone else would do

at best this game should be 64$

Extremely useful. With my 13700K @5.4 Ghz - 4070ti rig, it made a huge difference. Specially with DLSS. I am sorry but FSR is way too bad.

For people playing the game with HDD. Do not play it with HDD. Many bugs, sound issues, lip-sync problems will occur because of it. DDR5 will make some difference with the CPU bottleneck too specially with 13th Gen intel cpu's.

Nice content !

How much video memory does your gpu have?

I have an i513500 H and a rtx 3050. But can’t get over 30 fps outside. Any recommendations?

I'm sorry do we have to copy the dll files included in the "UpscalerBasePlugin" folder to the Steam folder with the game's .exe? What to do with the StarfieldUpscaler.ini file? Is this mod the same of nexus site? Thank you!

I have CAS OR FSR, idk where DLSS is

Running same options on my gtx 1080 and i7-6700k and it’s running smooth thank u!

Even though i am running a very high end machine....i am always looking for ways to maintain visual fidelity and relieve some stress on hardware.....this is an awesome guide! Thank you!

Can't wait to get home and try this. My only complaint is how the game runs with my 6700 XT and i9900K.

i dont undestand all the wuss about performance .. it runs smooth at 1440p and looks awesome on my TV. Ryzen 9 with RTX3090

60 fps with 800 dollar graphics card in ten year old resolutions , somebody's full of shit .

Very useful, thank you 👍

are you brasileiro?? hearing an accent :)

7 year old game btw. This isn’t a new game but rather a 7 year in development so the hardware they put to Test this game should of given them an idea how it would work but thats not what we see now it actually sucks this gamw is a massive disappointment

Idk I get over 120 fps in buildings and 80-90 in the most demanding areas at native 1440 no fsr.

The game has some of the worst performance of any title I've ever played. Even Cyberpunk on launch day would maintain 30FPS on my 1060. Starfield cannot.

Thank you very much, I got great results on my RTX 2070S. Not as good as yours in terms of frames per second, but still nice an smooth (44-50 FPS), and very playable, so I'm happy! I do wish developers would add better descriptions in the graphics options, so many acronyms... Anyway, thanks again!

Best guide ever! I have a 2080ti and I get 40+ fps with this.. With 60+ fps while indoors unfortunately I did not expect this game to run so poorly. Downloading DLSS and turning the rendering to 50% really helped without it it was a blurry ghosting mess

Why don’t I see dlss do I have to use it through control and panel?

how to uninstall the mod??

IF YOU WANT LOCKED 60 FPS YOU NEED A 120HZ MONITOR OR TV. Spent a good hour fiddling with settings trying to figure out how to maintain 60fps until i realized my monitor wasnt set to 120hz. Once i made the switch my fps doesnt drop below 65. Everything set to ultra at 1440p

Thanks man, this was extremely helpful, tbh I was running the game good enough in ultra, but after just messing with the graphics I noticed that some settings didn't made a huge difference and made me wonder if it was worth it, so I started trying to figure out just the best balance without sacrifices, I got to it and thought, I should just Google it, and you came up with the perfect settings, I truly appreciate the time you took to make this video, great job 🎉

Thx for sharing, your guide helpme so much...

Good recommendations. I watched another video that had very similar conclusions. I'm on an RTX 3060Ti, and switching between Low and Ultra presets, I saw very little performance difference. The biggest factor was reder resolution. I hope they add in DLSS natively, because FSR2 is simply not as good.

seems no matter what i'm stuck on 30fps. changing render scale 0%-100% doesn't do anything in terms of fps, sharpening doesn't change it, nothing does. just stuck at 30fps no matter what, even on medium
