Starfield GPU Benchmarks & Comparison: NVIDIA vs. AMD Performance
32,187We JUST launched our Limited Edition GN15 Modmat with this video! Grab one here: https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/large-modmat-gn15-anniversary
This video explores GPU performance in Starfield using cards like the RTX 4090, RX 7900 XTX, GTX 1070, 1080 Ti, RTX 3080, RX 7600, and plenty more. We ran all of these through the game's early access in about 16 hours, so there's still plenty more to come for Starfield content. Our immediate plans include testing Arc (once it works -- currently, Intel Arc doesn't launch Starfield) and re-running numbers as new drivers and patches continue to roll-out. It's very likely this will make its way into permanent placement in our GPU games test suite to replace some older titles. Our testing for Bethesda's Starfield focuses on 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, with a mix of low, medium, high, and ultra benchmarks. We did not use any FSR or dynamic resolution scaling for our tests (and also disabled variable rate shading and Vsync); however, if there's interest, we might visit FSR tests specifically as we have more time to work on the game -- particularly after its official launch.
This testing looks at the best GPUs for Starfield, max graphics settings, and more.
One correction in here: The line item for the RX 7900 XT should show 20GB of memory, not 24GB.
