Starfield on GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB meets Starfield's recommended spec. We estimate ~69 fps at 1080p high (range 55–83, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the medium preset (~48 fps on high). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 117 | 82 | 49 |
| medium | 90 | 63 | 38 |
| high | 69 | 48 | 29 |
| ultra | 55 | 39 | 23 |
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: high preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: medium preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB back.
- Processor needed for ~69 fps: Ryzen 3 3100 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, ~69 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB: 8 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
