💡 Starfield: Unusually CPU-bound in cities — a CPU upgrade often helps more than a GPU one.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 85 FPS, at 1440p about 69 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 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.
