On a AMD RX Vega 64 (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Starfield runs at roughly 63 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 47FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX Vega 64 (8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB 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 63 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 47 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 63 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 46 FPS at 4K. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Starfield at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 47 | 63 |
| 1440p | 28 | 61 |
| 4K | 16 | 46 |

With FrameCoach's optimized balanced settings, the AMD RX Vega 64 (8GB) averages around 63 FPS at 1080p in Starfield — up from about 47 FPS with everything on High.
At 1440p with optimized settings, the AMD RX Vega 64 (8GB) averages roughly 61 FPS in Starfield — a smooth experience.
Turn on FSR (Quality), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Shadow Quality and Indirect Lighting down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
