Best Starfield graphics settings for Nvidia RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti

The Nvidia RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti were launched as high-end 1440p gaming cards. Both these offerings continue to pack enough graphical horsepower to play modern games at QHD without any sacrifices. Although the 3070 and the 3070 Ti have recently faced some problems because of their limited 8 GB VRAM, they can play the latest releases like Starfield with some tweaks to the settings.

Like any other modern AAA title, Starfield features a mind-boggling number of in-game settings that gamers can customize in order to play the way that they want. This allows for tons of personalization, however, but doing it wrong could also potentially destroy the gaming experience.

Thus, to help out 3070 and 3070 Ti players, we will list the graphics settings that work best for Starfield. Do note that we are targeting a 1440p 60 FPS experience and nothing more than that.

Best Starfield graphics settings for RTX 3070

The RTX 3070 is a very powerful GPU for playing video games at 1440p. We recommend using this resolution for Starfield as well. The game works best with a mix of high and ultra settings applied at this resolution. However, a bit of temporal upscaling is also necessary to maintain a high framerate during gameplay.

The best settings for the last-gen 70-class graphics card are as follows:

Display

• Borderless full screen: On
• Window size: 2560 x 1440 (16:9)
• Select monitor: Primary monitor
• Dynamic resolution: Off
• Render resolution scale: 100
• Graphics preset: Custom
• Shadow quality: High
• Indirect lighting: Ultra
• Reflections: High
• Particle quality: High
• Volumetric lighting: High
• Crowd density: High
• Motion blur: High
• GTAO quality: Ultra
• Grass quality: Ultra
• Contact shadows: Ultra
• Vsync: Off
• Upscaling: FSR 2
• Sharpening: 75
• Enable VRS: On
• Film grain intensity: Full
• Enable depth of field: On

The RTX 3070 Ti also packs a bit more rendering power as compared to the older 3070. This allows gamers to further crank up settings to the max in Starfield.

Starfield is not forgiving on hardware. It lists some pretty hefty GPUs and CPUs in its minimum and recommended lists. However, the RTX 3070 is good enough for a good experience in the space explorer. Gamers can experience a decent experience at 1440p with the above settings applied.
