Starfield 8K Gameplay on NVIDIA RTX 4090: A Visual Odyssey

Beneath the celestial canvas, behold Starfield gracefully unfurling its splendor in 8K resolution, accompanied by a harmonious cadence of 30 frames per second, all elegantly orchestrated on the NVIDIA RTX 4090.

The grand debut of Starfield awaits the morrow’s dawn, and thus, we present a visual opus, showcasing this celestial odyssey in all its glory, rendered in the resplendent realm of 8K, accompanied by the mellifluous rhythm of 30fps, courtesy of the esteemed NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

To immortalize this ethereal 8K gameplay spectacle of Starfield, we harnessed the prowess of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, augmented with 32GB of DDR5 memory, operating at an astounding 6000Mhz, all harmoniously choreographed by the NVIDIA RTX 4090. In addition, our ensemble included the venerable Windows 10 64-bit, and the magisterial GeForce 537.13 driver. It is worth noting that we judiciously disabled the second CCD on our 7950X3D for optimal performance.

At the native 8K resolution, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 gallantly carries Starfield through the celestial expanse of New Atlantis, with a performance that gracefully dances between 20 to 22 frames per second. However, by invoking the arcane powers of FSR 2.0 or the enchantments of DLSS 2 in Quality Mode, we ascend to the celestial realm of 30fps in 8K. As you shall witness, there were occasional descents to 28fps, perhaps signifying that a Performance Mode would be the quintessential choice for sustaining the sublime cadence of 30fps. In any case, the realm of 30fps gaming unveils itself as an attainable feat, even within the boundless vistas of 8K, should one harness the arcane art of upscaling technology.

For the uninitiated, it is pertinent to mention that modders have sought to supplant FSR 2.0 with the venerable DLSS 2.0. Yet, the symphony of gameplay remains unaltered, regardless of the upscaling technique invoked. In succinct terms, DLSS 2.0’s eminent virtue lies not in its prowess to augment performance, but rather in its capacity to bestow superior visual magnificence upon Starfield.

Throughout this visual odyssey, I embarked upon an expedition with NVIDIA Freestyle, an endeavor aimed at dispelling the game’s pallid visage. To be candid, the settings I employed left me gratified, though I must humbly propose that you embrace this modification over the alternatives of NVIDIA Freestyle or Reshade.

In observance of fidelity, I adhered to the default FOV, abstaining from indulging in the temptations of an elevated field of view, cognizant of its potential to temper performance. Moreover, I invoked ReBAR through the esteemed NVIDIA Inspector Tool. Alas, my scrutiny discerned a modest enhancement, amounting to a mere 1-3 frames per second. While not a monumental surge akin to the dramatic metamorphosis witnessed in the Dead Space Remake, it nevertheless serves as an earnest boon, bestowing complimentary enhancements to performance.

With this 8K/30fps opus, I bid you adieu, and entreat you to remain poised for forthcoming marvels!
