Nvidia DLSS officially coming to Starfield in coming update

pcinvasion.com:

Starfield is one of 2023’s biggest game launches, so the level of scrutiny for its technical performance on PC has been nothing short of high. While the game runs relatively smooth, it’s common knowledge that it performs worse than expected when it comes to delivering high framerates. Player outcry has been immense in response to the performance issues, so Bethesda has finally caved and will officially add Nvidia DLSS support to Starfield in a coming update.

Bethesda published a blog post today outlining plans to add various new features to Starfield including PC-specific upgrades such as Nvidia DLSS, HDR support and a calibration menu, brightness and contrast controls, an FOV slider, 32:9 ultrawide monitor support, and an eat button for food laying around the world.

The only disappointing thing about this update is a lack of any roadmap or mention of specific release plans for these updates. These are the only announcements thus far for updates coming to Starfield. Presumably, we’ll get these things sooner rather than later.

The inclusion of official DLSS support for Starfield is great news for anyone playing on PC with an Nvidia RTX 20, 30, or 40 Series GPU. Although Starfield already supports AMD’s open-source FSR upscaler, many simply would prefer to use DLSS as an option. In fact, demand is so great that a DLSS mod currently sits at the top spot on NexusMods and is also on our list for the best 17 Starfield mods.

Nvidia DLSS is now more than just an image upscaler technology though. Nvidia officially splits it up into Super Resolution to denote the image upscaling, while also offering Frame Generation which inserts AI-created frames to further boost framerate smoothness. Bethesda’s post doesn’t explicitly mention
