  • Digital Foundry had early access to the display mode update for Starfield, and we've put together this detailed report on the various performance options and visual settings choices available. While Bethesda recommends a 120Hz display with VRR (as do we actually!), there's a wealth of viable options for those with standard 60Hz screens with no variable refresh rate support... and major cities apart, the game does a good job of hitting 60 frames per second.

    I hate that these days, the only way to get a stable experience is to wait months, even years after a game's launch in order to get decent performance and stability.

      Yes, and no. Creation Engine doesn't really run above 60 fps even on PC. There is a cap in place at the engine level because the physics and timed events in games that use it, rely on a maximum frame rate of 60 fps to operate in a stable manner.
      Things get a bit wonky above 60 fps.
      So at best, Starfield on next gen hardware SHOULD be expected to run Visuals at a target 60 FPS, and keep the visuals settings(which mind you aren't maxed out) and the DRS should maintain 4K clarity.

      I might be downvoted for suggesting this but, yes you are right... so does every other game I have ever played. Starfield is not some kind of outlier, if you own a modern beefy system, you'll want to play a game like this at 60fps+. Unfortunately around launch with a very powerful pc, there were still areas where the fps totally tanked, I remember Akila city to be especially bad. I'm installing it now to see if it has somewhat improved since then. - Edit - It has improved, more options like DLSS help to get a good framerate.

    Thanks for the balanced review Oliver. One quick question. So if we need a 120hz capable display to enable 40fps mode, how do we end up hovering around 40fps during testing scenes on a 60fps target? In the old days, if your CRT couldn't flick up to 60hz then you were basically out of luck, but here we have Starfield able to exist at sub 60hz and still display on the VDU - is it simply the disparity which causes issues?

    I have a TV that can do 120hz VRR but only HDR not Dolby Vision at that refresh rate. I don’t really ever notice the difference between properly calibrated HGIG HDR vs Dolby Vision so when playing a multiplayer shooter I use 120 without Dolby.
    I’m confused by the table at the start of this video. Is it saying to get VRR I have to be in 120hz mode on my Xbox and Tv? Even if I want to play in 60fps target?
    Ideally I’d play 60fps, visual mode, Dolby vision with my Xbox set to 60fps mode.

    You can see how variable rate shading is working on the most GPU demand areas, like forest with green geysers on Jemison planet. When you stay close to any geyser with rich forest on background.
    And at least on PC VRS can save much fps in those stress scenarios (depends on tweaking the % value of VRS)

      I noticed in Bethesda games they don't run physics everywhere, just in areas which had a player or NPC interaction, like on shelves you'll see some items float and not fall due to gravity, pick one up and all of a sudden the entire shelf will have objects falling down. I wonder if this is why cities can slow down, when NPCs are walking nearby other physics objects the game starts simulating them. Hundreds of NPCs then cause the simulation to explode.

    @eruannster 28 дней назад

    Very happy to see this. Letting users choose how they want to play, perferring frame rates over resolutions/quality settings is a very good trend that I hope all developers embrace.
    I do find internally rendering at 900p and upscaling to full 4K a pretty strange choice, I wonder if they could trade higher internal resolution for a lower upscaling resolution for better results. Maybe rendering at ~1080p and upscaling to 1440p, or perhaps have a dynamic resolution that lets the internal resolution go higher when there is headroom. It feels like there could be some further balancing/tweaking of this that could reduce the shimmering.
    Overall, I applaud Bethesda for putting in the effort for these things, although I also think they should have been there at launch. At least a 40 FPS mode or some sort of VRR unlocked mode.

    @fullmetalboon4670 29 дней назад +1

    honestly to people who read the comments, the 60fps is a game changer for pc monitors. been playing it on 60fps uncapped with VRR on and the experience is night and day on a monitor. Monitor's don't support interpolation like TV's (transistions one frame to the next smoothly) so 30fps is jarring, and VRR doesn't kick in if the Hz goes under 48Hz. even if you get slow down in the 2 main city hubs, thats only a small minor part of the game. also if you go into accessibility options there are FoV sliders (not sure how new) but having FoV cranked up to 90 and at 60fps (mostly) is a huge win!

    Lots of people don't remember that XSX is actually CPU limited. No amount of upscaling can fix that. Upscaling only helps the GPU, which is why visual mode can still reach 60 fps, but performance mode locked at 30 fps puts too much load on the CPU. Performance mode at 30 fps won't stress the XSX GPU at all. Starfield is in fact CPU limited, not GPU limited.
