Starfield launched in a baffling state on PC, with no support for DLSS, frame generation and highly questionable performance on Nvidia graphics hardware. A new patch is currently in beta and it's fair to say that it's transformative. The new HDR features disappoint, but with official DLSS and frame-gen support and genuinely impressive boosts to CPU and GPU performance, this patch moves Starfield one step closer to delivering everything it should on PC.

With rare exceptions, always play a game three to six months after its official release date on PC

It's been 30+ years since FOV sliders were added in the graphics settings for FPS games. Having this added in the accessibility section feels weird, almost like an insult but at the same time I get why someone would think it's more of an accessibility issue. It's just backwards thinking ...

I'm still playing this on SeriesX and I had to stop to try and crunch out Persona 5 before it left GamePass. Then I started up where I left off on Starfield and I noticed some texture pop in micro stutters in Akila and such places that I didn't notice on launch.

Are you guys going to do a re-pass on the Series X/S versions?

I still get a ton of stutters here and there with a 5800X3D and a 3070.

Although I got a few more frames, this is nowhere close to being well optimized. New Atlantis and Akila still show high cpu and gpu usage with stuttering.

No matter the settings. I still get frame drops. After leaving the excavation site on the first planet you’re on, my frames dipped into the 40’s while in the cockpit of the ship.

Fucking 40’s Bethesda. My God.

Is the CPU performance increase present in intel chips? I think it would be, but this is an AMD sponsored game.

After watching this, I installed the Beta version on my HP Zenbook 4070. This works beautifully when when switching on DLSS. 100plus FPS and looks gorgeous. HOWEVER.... the Beta version in Steam for the ROG Ally (and yes I checked it's the Beta version) does not have DLSS as an option. Only CAS and FSR. I thought the Steam application for Windows 10/11 pc's was exactly the same as the Steam application Windows 10/11 version for the ROG ALLY. Or is there something I am missing? Can anyone clarify if they have the Beta version installed on a ROG ALLY and if so, does it have DLSS as an option?

I hate the overarching positivity in this video and from people in the comments. The game launched in an abysmal beta state, and Bethesda should be held accountable indefinitely. Why has it become acceptable for companies to release games in such states, why do people still give these companies the benefit of the doubt?

I can imagine there is a line of code in the graphics pipeline which says IF GPU=Nvidia* wait 20ms, but the update probable changed it to wait just 10ms 🙃

I still cant help but find it strange DF supports this being 30fps on console. People will say 'oh but if u collect 10000 apples and put them in a room, look at the physics'.

Less than 1% are doing this, and when they do the game will slow down to 30fps, which they are playing it at anyway.
