💡 Starfield: Unusually CPU-bound in cities — a CPU upgrade often helps more than a GPU one.

At 1080p expect around 108 FPS, at 1440p about 65 FPS, and at 4K roughly 62 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Starfield. Starfield doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
