Best Starfield graphics settings for AMD RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT are new video cards that target gaming at high resolutions of 1440p and 4K. Paired with new technology such as FSR 3 and HYPR-RX and the highly efficient and capable RDNA 3 architecture, these GPUs are a gamer's paradise. Moreover, AMD has priced the GPUs very competitively: $450 for the 7700 XT and $500 for the 7800 XT.

Gamers who purchase these graphics cards right now can get a free copy of Starfield, one of the most anticipated game launches of the year.

We have already had an early experience with the new space explorer from Bethesda. We tested the game on a few different cards and will suggest the best graphics settings combination for the RX 7700 XT and the RX 7800 XT in this article.

Do note that exact benchmarks for these AMD GPUs aren't out as of this writing, although we will launch an expected settings list that is supposed to work best on these mid-range RDNA 3 offerings.
