The NVIDIA RTX 3070 is a strong 1440p card with 8GB of VRAM, and Starfield is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU it averages about 78 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 58 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 97 | 97 |
| 1440p | 58 | 78 |
| 4K | 33 | 60 |
At 1080p expect around 97 FPS, at 1440p about 78 FPS, and at 4K roughly 60 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
