Starfield on GeForce GTX 1630
No. The GeForce GTX 1630 is below Starfield's minimum spec (Radeon RX 5700). Our model still estimates ~20 fps at 1080p low (range 16–24, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. 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 | 20 | 14 | 8 |
| medium | 15 | 11 | 6 |
| high | 12 | 8 | 5 |
| ultra | 9 | 7 | 4 |
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: not reachable
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1630 back.
- Processor needed for ~20 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, ~12 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1630: 4 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
