Additionally, FSR 3 will be made available for allStarfieldPC users later in February before the game’s next scheduled update. FSR 3 is AMD’s competitor to Nvidia’s DLSS 3 and is a useful feature that can significantly boost frames-per-second for many PC users. FSR 3 does this by creating additional, interpolated frames in between the normally rendered frames, allowing for a much smoother feel. AMD claims that FSR 3 can roughly double any frame rate, but recommends that a user’s base frame rate is at least 60 FPS. FSR 3 is officially supported on a wide range of graphics cards, including Nvidia GPUs that are RTX 20-series or above. In addition to the impressive FPS-boosting feature,Starfieldfans have more to look forward to this year.
