Can the RTX 4060 Laptop run Starfield? (2026)

Yes
~79 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The RTX 4060 Laptop is a mainstream 1080p card with 8GB of VRAM, and Starfield is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 79 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 59 FPS with everything on High.

💡 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 79 FPS, at 1440p about 63 FPS, and at 4K roughly 58 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.
