Starfield will receive support for NVIDIA DLSS 3 and DLSS 2, which will be available at launch via a mod, confirmed by modder PureDark.
Starfield is the most anticipated AAA game of the year and the latest from Bethesda RPGs. The game will have many planets to explore, as well as the ability to travel through the expanses of space on your own spaceships.
A few months ago, Bethesda announced AMD as its exclusive PC manufacturing partner. This partnership will bring optimizations for AMD Ryzen processors and Radeon GPUs to the game, as well as FSR 2 support that works on all GPUs. While having PC features is good, it deprives NVIDIA users of their superior DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 scaling technologies, which happen to be far superior to AMD’s FSR technology. Thus, a huge proportion of users of DLSS-enabled GPUs are deprived of the opportunity to use the full potential of the GPU, despite the fact that such a large development team like Bethesda integrated this technology into the game with relative ease.
Just yesterday we talked about how the game does not contain any DLSS and XeSS files in the preload folder, which means that these technologies will definitely not be present in the game at launch. While many hope they will be integrated into the official game, it looks like modder Pure Dark has once again taken on the task of bringing DLSS capabilities to PC gamers who own NVIDIA GPUs.
PureDark has already promised to add DLSS 3 support to the game during the early access period starting September 1st, but in a recent post it reaffirmed that DLSS 3 and DLSS 2 support will be implemented in the first days after launch. This will certainly please gamers, and especially owners of RTX 40 GPUs, who will be able to get a significant frame boost thanks to Frame Generation technology.
It is to be hoped that the AMD partnership works well for the PC version of Starfield and that AMD’s FSR and NVIDIA DLSS quality enhancement technologies are not used for poor quality optimization. There have been a lot of bad ports on PC lately, so fingers crossed for a game that will run smoothly on the right PC hardware.
