Starfield will officially release tomorrow, so here’s a video showcasing the game running in 8K with 30fps on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
In order to capture this 8K gameplay video for Starfield, we used an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 32GB of DDR5 at 6000Mhz, and NVIDIA’s RTX 4090. We also used Windows 10 64-bit and the GeForce 537.13 driver. Furthermore, we’ve disabled the second CCD on our 7950X3D.
At Native 8K, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 can run Starfield with around 20-22fps in New Atlantis. However, by enabling FSR 2.0 or DLSS 2 in Quality Mode, we can achieve 30fps in 8K. As you’ll see, there were some drops to 28fps. So, perhaps a Performance Mode would be the ideal option for keeping over 30fps at all times. Either way, 30fps gaming is actually possible on an 8K TV. Well, that is if you use an upscaling tech.
Now for those unaware, modders were able to replace FSR 2.0 with DLSS 2.0. However, the game performs exactly the same with both of these upscaling techniques. In short, the major benefit of DLSS 2 is its superior image quality in Starfield (and not its performance).
During this video, I was also experimenting with NVIDIA Freestyle in order to eliminate the game’s washed-out graphics. To be honest, I was quite satisfied with the settings I used (in the video, exposure was a bit higher than my final settings). However, I highly recommend using this mod over NVIDIA Freestyle or Reshade.
I’ve also used the default FOV (and not a higher one that you can achieve with this guide). In theory, a higher FOV may lower performance. I’ve also enabled ReBAR via the NVIDIA Inspector Tool. From what I could see, ReBAR only brings a 1-3fps improvement. And while it’s not a major performance increase like the one we saw in Dead Space Remake, it’s still a free performance boost.
Enjoy this 8K/30fps video for Starfield, and stay tuned for more!

Totally missing the sweetspot of 16k at 15fps.
You can always go 8k 150 fps with upscaling!
Nah, better wait for a DLSS4 mod with DENUVO, so you can get 8k@151 fps!
And nothing of value was gained.

Steam is refunding players even if they played 25 hours because the game is such a bugged mess.
So if you’re one of those dummies who spent hours in character creation, you can still get a refund.

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
“So if you’re one of those dummies who spent hours in character creation”
Dude, don’t do this to them! They’re just retärded!
200 thousand requests for refunds in 24 hours! That’s going to add up to some profit loss for either Steam or Bethesda. There is a transaction fee charged to the business for every CC transaction. Usually 3% or 4% of the price. So there is now the fee of buying the game and probably the fee of buying the game a second time if/when the modding community fixes the game.
All of that wasted profit because Bethesda is……Bethesda.
Dosnt look very impressive
Imho it doesn’t look impressive at all!
Those dull colours won’t be any good even in 196k@144fps
This might be Bethesda’s worst launch yet.
