And the time has finally come. Modder ‘LukeFZ’ has just released a completely free DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mod for Starfield. Yes, you read that right. Contrary to PureDark’s DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mod (which also has a DRM system), this one is completely free to everyone.
For those wondering, LukeFZ is the man behind Starfield FSR2 Bridge. Starfield FSR2 Bridge was another mod for Starfield that added support for DLSS 2 and XeSS. Compared to PureDark’s mods, LukeFZ’s mods do not rely on Reshade. And, to be honest, I preferred LukeFZ’s DLSS 2 Mod over PureDark’s mod.
Now the bad news regarding this free DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mod is that it does not feature any in-game menu. Instead, RTX 40 series owners will have to edit the config.json file in the game directory. In a way, this will give you better control. However, you can’t make any DLSS 3 adjustments on the fly. Thus, it will be a pain in the a*s to benchmark native resolution, DLSS 2 and DLSS 3.
From the looks of it, this free DLSS 3 Mod for Starfield has nothing in common with the leaked version of PureDark’s DLSS 3 Mod. A couple of days ago, LukeFZ was looking for some beta testers. The modder has stated that he did not own an RTX 40 series GPU, which is why he’s been looking for testers. So no, there is no foul play here.
You can go ahead and download this free DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mod for Starfield from here. As we’ve said multiple times, only NVIDIA’s RTX 40 series GPUs support DLSS 3 Frame Generation. For all other RTX owners, the mod allows you to use DLSS 3 Super Resolution.
Speaking of Starfield, I also suggest downloading this mod which resolves the game’s elevated black levels/washed-out graphics. You can also use this guide in order to increase your FOV. And then we have this AI-upscaled 4K Texture Pack.
Have fun!

What i dont get is this: for someone like me with a RTX 3070, does this mod improve regular quality of DLSS? I know the extra frame generation thing is for the 40 series.
Just the regular upscaling is what i wonder about. Cus i read 3.5 looks better than the 2.0
It’s not for you.
Wait until AMD releases their frame generation.
yes it works 3.5 is basically 2.0 but with fragenaration thus they call DLSS 3
in short DLSS 2 + framegeneration = DLSS 3
So you have a 3000 series card and can confirm FG works on it……???
FrameGen is ONLY 4xxx cards, but you can use the mod for dlss2 as well he just bundled them up together since most people who use FG need to use DLSS2 to get very high FPS, you can also not use DLSS2 and just use FG but won’t get as high an fps boost since it’s native resolution. But FG ONLY 4xxx cards.
@Daves, @trevor, I am aware, hence the ask….
framegeneration is exclusively for the RTX 4000 series. The 2000 & 3000 series only use the DLSS without the Framegeneration.
Alright, so there is no point then. Good to know, thanks!
Whats Azaks meant to say is FG only works on 4000 series cards unfortunatly.
Thank you LukeFZ for your work and contribution to PC gaming. You and other modders like you are what makes the modding community great.
S*ck it up PureDark. No one needs your paid mod with DRM on top of it. You are an embarrassment to the PC community. You stand for what most of us don’t like. DRM and paying for mods.
Well said brother well said 👍
To hell with PureDark. We dont want anything to do with garbage like him!!
If you have the game and use the mod, Throw a few bucks LukeFZ’s way for doing it the right way!
not through nexus though, fck nexus.
I’ve been using NexusMods for a very long time, and while I may not agree with all of their policies, I generally find it the best site for mods. You’ll find pretty much everything I’ve published on there.
Sure, don’t support them though
https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14733
That’s one of the things I didn’t agree with. A mod that removes a flag from a game, and which doesn’t add any messages of hate or whatever shouldn’t be banned, and the way they handled criticism in regards to that issue was horrible.
Unfortunately the reality is that there is no reasonable alternative to NexusMods. I would have liked to have made one, but I don’t have the programming skills or the money, so…
Yes, I concur. However, abstain from remunerating them, refrain from participating in bug reports and discussions, and naturally, abstain from uploading your own mods, thereby withholding support for the website.
And what mod site are people supposed to use? There is literally no good alternatives, and most of the bad alternatives have policies that are just as bad.
I said you should use it, but not tipping, commenting, uploading mods etc.
And how are people supposed to share mods if not on NexusMods? Through some obscure Discord channel that only select people know about?
I think it’s wrong to support this site by uploading mods. Download as many as you want, but don’t upload yours.
Then at that point, why make mods at all? If there’s nowhere worth sharing mods, then modding might as well die out and come to an end.
What an absolute bundle of sticks. “DeLeTe YoUr AcCoUnT!!!!11!” says (((DarkOne))). He even locked the topic after his post, in which he ironically calls people that disagree with him cowards. When the tolerance for evil finally runs out and the people come for the likes of him, no amount of smarmy backtalk will save him from becoming a wind chime.
has that mod worked for anyone? At best you get 4 fps.
Oh god, we’re going to get mod spam about this horrible game.
Alternative dlss 3 mod Grangler Arcade
What is this madness that a studio releases a game and only nvidia 40 series and last gen AMD graphic cards can run it with 60 fps and now everybody is looking for frame generation mods?
WTF? Why nobody is asking why nvidia 30 series cannot run the game with stable 60 fps? I really hate this frame generation plague that has became a thing in gaming!
Fake frame f*kery to rob us of actual real improvements at the silicon level.
çok başarılı ve kaliteli bir makale olmuş güzellik sırlarım olarak teşekkür ederiz.
Let’s all take a moment to laugh in the face of this greedy MF
yeah FrameGen is separate from dlss2 but gets higher fps if used with dlss2 enabled for obvious reasons, shouldnt’ have called it DLSS3 really because now dlss2 has a v3 file version update from nvidia sdk(from the techpowerup page) I’m using it w this modders FSR2brigdge mod. I hope he makes more w donations then puredark does with drm, puredark also is donations only for the dlss2 fsr2 replacer, just slapped drm onto the dlss3 make a quick buck to be first and only one, then likely donation later.
it would be less annoying if beteshda just simply implemented dlss natively 🤣
