Starfield on Arc A770 8GB
Yes, at lower settings. The Arc A770 8GB meets Starfield's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~54 fps at 1080p high (range 43–65, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the medium preset. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 7600 XT (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 92 | 64 | 39 |
| medium | 70 | 49 | 30 |
| high | 54 | 38 | 23 |
| ultra | 43 | 30 | 18 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: medium preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: low preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
Intel Arc card: use XeSS (native on Arc) or FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset. DLSS is not available.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Arc A770 8GB back.
- Processor needed for ~54 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 5 3600X): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~54 fps.
Video memory
- Arc A770 8GB: 8 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
