Starfield: Best Settings - Digital Foundry Optimised

whats the difference about hardware unboxed optimized settings and the digital foundry's settings? I'm confusing which one i should use

Danke Alex, Allah razi olsun canim benim.

You know why tere are virtual boxes and no seemles transitions? why game restricts itself to 8gb Vram usage on every GPU and rely on streaming assets? Why those assets then had to be chopped ins small bits and pieces?
The answer is trivial - Series S garbage tier streaming machine.

Modders already proven that planets can be accessed "quadrant by quadrant" and that you can transition from one "box" to another and it can load.

There is no world simulation, no AI, its CP2077 lvl joke - just increadibly poor 6-7 core restricted CPU utilisation to fit console hardware. What about PC? Alex already did the testing - Todd "Bugthesda - because f* PC gamers" & "U guys have no moar GPUs?" Howard should resign, followed by Phil "Next year will be groundbreaking for Xbox" Spencer.
I just played GOW Ragnarok - 75-90 FPS on beutiful VRR performance mode, no bugs, no glitches, no issues through 98hrs of platinum rush, a perfect execution of AAA flagship in house game. And what, this garbage tier unopitmised piece of dated junk, roughly a reskin of Fallout 4, with level of technical execution adequate to small indie studio they try to sell as best since sliced bread next gen AAA blockbuster?
It's a joke. Compared to Sony AAA, the crap that MS releases one after another is just a total remarkable disgrace, a spit in the face of gamers. This is what Game Pass owners got from $7Billion investment? Red Fail and Starfail?
They should rename themselves as Xbox Fail Studios.

There’s murder in Alex’s eyes

thanks Alex!

Will you be covering Jedi survivor latest patch which seems to be the most significant? The usual such as framerate and native resolution

I believe the Crowd Density affects the spawning rate of NPCs - it doesn't remove existing ones.

Tim from Hardware Unboxed at least was able to find (in their optimization guide) a difference between the settings, provided you moved to a new area after changing it.

The identical footage in this video from the different Crowd Density settings lead me to believe each was shot immediately after reloading a save while already within the city. I suppose Starfield preserves even NPC state - at least in the current location - in its saves.

On 3440x1440 FSR looks better than native. And sometimes worse. The Best is dlss mod

why bro look like that in the thumbnail lol

Bad performance was a stylistic choice, its a bethesda game, its expected, dont be a toxic troll, its a 24fps cinematic experience, it doesent look good but it has charm, game gits gud after 36 hours, hold in dere, trust me bro- saint John 2023

Illuminati confirmed

This guy is an angel no one else on this world ou do this search

Why is nothing being said about the game constantly crashing on PC & Series x & Series S?

*Optimized

You are also going to make a optimised setting example for AMD gpus because they perform better natively, these settings tend to show the limits on Nvidia but show what can be pushed on there.

The Look of Kratos on the thumbnail is wild XD

Really ugly looking game

Starfield - when ultra settings are barely different from medium 🤷‍♂

btw sry 4 my english

Does anyone else find it silly we're talking about dropping games to Medium or Low, WHILE using upscaling AND dynamic res on fairly competent hardware and still not able to achieve a solid 60 FPS?

Meanwhile that same hardware could run Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1440p Ultra and having it look AMAZING. Even something like a 3070 can get 120 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p Ultra settings and it looks gorgeous yet we're mean't to believe Starfield is such a visual and technical upgrade that a 3070 can't even hope to achieve anywhere near 60 FPS at 1080p.

🧐

How are you labeling FSR 2 quality levels? All I have is a sharpening percentage slider. What's considered Quality, Balanced, and Performance in this case?

game is full of flickering

Which pronouns do I enter to improve graphical fidelity?😊

Its not about ultra settings is about giving the best by using the least. Ultra is not needed on Xbox. It can do it but it's just not needed

The poor performance (50fps on a 4090 with FSR2.0 enabled) is down to CPU restrictions, which in turn is down to the horribly dated Ceeation engine.
Yea, put a '2' after Creation Engine if you like but it doesn't change the fact it's code is rooted in a 20 year old engine and trying to make AAA games with such an engine is bound to have issues.
It's like trying to create a modern game with the original Unreal engine, it's designed for modern system and would give severely disspointing and ugly results, as does Creation Engine 2, to a lesser extent.

There's soo much pain from ps5 and nvidia folks - one game not made for them and acid starts flowing.

37 seconds to load on the "world's most powerful console" while Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank take 1 second on PS5 😂😂😂

Spider-Man 2 > trashfield

Bottom line, no differences when playing without a magnifying glass

The gaybox series x drops to 7fps 😂. Suckcocksoft definitely paid DF to keep making videos about this shitty game.

LMAO that thumbnail face 😂

Also force ReBAR on in the Nvidia Profile Inspector if you have an Nvidia card.

Been waiting for a Starfield video
