Starfield Graphics Optimization Guide & Benchmarks, Settings Comparison, & Performance Mods

Sponsor: Thermaltake SWAFAN EX 120 3-Pack on Amazon https://geni.us/ardZR
This is our last (for now) Starfield benchmark installation! This one compares Starfield's graphics settings with in-depth benchmarks, visual comparisons, and even some mod packs to modify the .ini files for Starfield's settings. In our benchmarking, we'll look at how you can optimize Starfield settings to achieve the best graphics quality to performance. We're providing you with all the relative scaling tools to determine which graphics options scale the most, how much they visually affect the game, and then we're testing some DLSS, DLSS Frame Generation, Optimization, and FOV mods for the game. We also tested Bethesda's brand new patch in a quick A/B comparison benchmark, finding ultimately that there was no difference with our test hardware (although NVIDIA's recent ReBAR profile update helped).
