The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is a flagship 4K-class card with 32GB of VRAM, and Starfield is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU it averages about 82 FPS at 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 82 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 152 | 152 |
| 1440p | 144 | 144 |
| 4K | 82 | 82 |
At 1080p expect around 152 FPS, at 1440p about 144 FPS, and at 4K roughly 82 FPS with optimized settings. Its 32GB of VRAM is plenty for Starfield. Starfield doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
