The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and RX 6950 XT are high-performance 4K gaming graphics cards that compete against the likes of the RTX 3080 and the 3090. Although the GPUs have been replaced by the newer RX 7900 XT series, they continue to rank among the best options for playing the latest and most demanding titles, such as Starfield, at the highest settings without major performance hiccups.

The new space explorer RPG from the Maryland-based Bethesda is a game that requires high specs on PC. Moreover, optimization isn't the best. Thus, gamers will have to tweak the settings adequately for a decent experience when playing it.

In this article, we will go over the best graphics settings combinations for the last-gen AMD flagships. We are targeting 60 FPS in the game.
