Best Starfield settings for the AMD RX 6700 (10GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 6700 (10GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Starfield runs at roughly 73 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 73FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 6700 (10GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 10GB of VRAM, and Starfield is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 73 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 73 FPS at 1080p and 68 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Starfield: Unusually CPU-bound in cities — a CPU upgrade often helps more than a GPU one.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
Starfield supports FSR and (via update) DLSS/XeSS. A big GPU-side boost — though in cities you may still be CPU-limited.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is the value pick over Ultra.
Indirect LightingHighbaseline
Bounced global illumination. A meaningful GPU cost with a modest visual payoff.
ReflectionsHighbaseline
Screen-space reflections on metal and glass. Often subtle in motion.
Volumetric LightingHighbaseline
Atmospheric light shafts. Heavy for the look — an easy saving.
Crowd DensityHighbaseline
How many NPCs populate cities. This loads your CPU — the main lever in Starfield’s CPU-bound towns.
Particle QualityHighbaseline
Effects and debris. Lowering smooths combat-heavy moments.
Grass QualityHighbaseline
Planet-surface foliage density. A decent saving on lush worlds.
Ambient Occlusion (GTAO)Onbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Cheap; leave On unless you need the frames.
Motion BlurOnbaseline
Camera blur in motion. Nearly free — pure preference.
Contact ShadowsOnbaseline
Fine shadows where objects meet surfaces. Cheap; adds depth indoors.
Depth of FieldOnbaseline
Background blur in dialogue and scanning. Cheap; personal preference.
