A hot potato: Most of the controversy surrounding Team Red’s collaboration with Bethesda on Starfield has concerned the game’s officially available resolution upscaling solutions. However, post-launch performance analyses of the PC version show an unusual comparison between AMD and Nvidia GPUs relative to other recent titles. While this looks suspicious, numerous factors could be behind the discrepancy.

Starfield is an extremely demanding game. Maintaining 60 frames per second in 1440p at medium graphics settings requires high-end GPUs like the RX 6800 or the GeForce RTX 3090.
