Exploring the galaxy in Bethesda's massive RPG is incredible... until your frame rate tanks in New Atlantis. If you're eyeing a serious rig upgrade, you're probably asking one big question. Can the RTX 4080 Super run Starfield at 60 FPS? The short answer is yes. The long answer involves a few clever tweaks. This ensures buttery smooth performance without sacrificing those stunning cosmic colours.

Pushing the RTX 4080 Super in Starfield 🚀

Starfield is notoriously demanding on your PC hardware. It leans heavily on both your processor and your GPU. Fortunately, Nvidia's mighty 40-series architecture is built for heavy lifting.

When you browse our premium graphics cards, the 4080 Super stands out as a top-tier powerhouse. It boasts 16GB of VRAM and massive CUDA core counts.

Pairing this GPU with a high-end CPU is crucial to avoid bottlenecks. You can easily find the perfect balance by checking out our best gaming PC deals.

Optimising Your Settings for Flawless Frames

Running the game at native 4K with every slider maxed out can occasionally dip below 60 frames. To lock in that flawless frame rate, you need to optimise a few specific settings.

Turn on DLSS 3 with Frame Generation. It's Nvidia's secret weapon for boosting overall performance. Drop shadow quality and volumetric lighting from Ultra to High. You will barely notice the visual difference... but your frame rate will definitely thank you.

TIP

Performance Pro Tip 🔧

Always install Starfield on an NVMe SSD. Bethesda's Creation Engine streams high-resolution assets constantly. A standard hard drive will cause massive stuttering, even if you have the beefiest RTX 4080 Super installed.
