[Digital Foundry] Starfield PC's New Patch: Massive CPU/GPU Perf Boosts, Official DLSS Support

[John Elden Ring]

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.

In the last ten years, I have bought less than 10 games at launch, and maybe 12 at full price. Sales and complete editions are where it's at.

It's a Bethesda game. Optimization is against their religion.
