Nvidia's RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti are two new 1080p gaming cards from Team Green. With support for DLSS 3, improved ray tracing and rendering performance, along with frame generation technology, these GPUs deliver top-tier performance while being easy on your pocket. They are designed to play the latest video games like Starfield.

Gamers can expect high framerates in this title without major compromises to the visual fidelity on either of the mentioned GPUs. However, a few tweaks to its settings are recommended for the best experience. Since Starfield features a ton of options, fine-tuning on your own can be a bit difficult. That is why this article will go over the best settings to use in Starfield for a stable 60 FPS.

The RTX 4060 8 GB video card isn't a massive step up over its last-gen equivalent. Therefore, gamers will need to crank down the settings slightly in order to maintain 60 FPS in this title. We recommend a mix of high and ultra settings in the game along with a bit of temporal upscaling.

The ideal graphics settings for the 60-class graphics card in Starfield are as follows:

Display

  • Borderless full screen: On
  • Window size: 1920 x 1080 (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

The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB and 16 GB cards are a lot more powerful than their non-Ti 8 GB sibling. This card can run the game at 1440p without even breaking a sweat. However, we recommend a bit of temporal upscaling for this higher resolution as well. The following settings are for those looking to get 60 FPS at QHD:

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: High
  • Reflections: High
  • Particle quality: High
  • Volumetric lighting: Ultra
  • 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

Both Nvidia's RTX 4060 and the 4060 Ti are high-end cards meant to run the latest titles at FHD and QHD resolutions, which includes Bethesda's Starfield. Although these GPUs cannot run the game at the absolute highest settings in either resolution and maintain a stable 60 FPS, they can easily ensure a decent gameplay experience with crisp visuals and smooth framerates.
