Best Starfield graphics settings for Intel Arc A750 and Arc A770

The Intel Arc A750 and Arc A770 are the best GPUs launched as part of the Alchemist lineup. These graphics cards were built to target 1080p gaming experiences without compromises. They were initially launched to compete against the RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti graphics cards. Today, they have been heavily discounted, making them solid options for budget rigs.

Do note that players on Intel GPUs will have to crank some settings down in the latest and most demanding video games like Starfield. Besides being significantly hardware-heavy, the latest space explorer RPG isn't optimized very well. Modest hardware like the A750 and A770 face the brunt of this issue.

Performance issues in Starfield on Intel Arc GPUs

There have been some reports of artifacts and massive performance issues on Intel Arc A750 and A770 GPUs. While it is unclear how many GPUs are affected, most Intel graphics cards are facing the problem.

YouTube user HueSplat recorded his experience on an Arc A770, where the game was unplayable because of artifacts. Every 3D model appeared black after the game loaded up, with the graphics being corrupted.

Linus Tech Tips discussed the issue and mentioned HueSplat in his recent WAN show, roasting the poor Starfield PC port.

Intel has already acknowledged the issue on Twitter and is currently working on a fix. They have already released driver updates to alleviate the issue. We believe the artifacting issues will be gone by the time the game fully launches for the masses on September 6.
