Starfield Performance BOOST

Works perfect with DLSS and FSR!

Modification It is intended to improve performance in such a way that there is no change in the rendering quality of the game.

Depending on the hardware, the performance gain will be between 5% and 15%. I decided to address all the available options in the game, so that for each of the settings to balance the performance of the game anew. This means that anyone can now squeeze out more FPS without seeing a drop in graphical quality, no matter what settings they use! From minimum to ultra!

Explaining differences in performance gains

Please note that, for example, we are reducing the resolution of static shadows from 4096 to 3072, This change may have an imperceptible effect on the performance gain on powerful GPUs, because simply the specific GPU did not have a big problem with these shadows, so we will only reduce VRAM consumption. However, weaker GPUs may gain as much as 15% and thus perform better on other graphical aspects. And it is also important that the ultra settings remain ultra. There is another modification of this type on the forum, in which several ultra settings have worse quality than high settings. And this is not the point of correct modification of game files.

To sum up (simplifying), the better performance of our PC in general, the smaller FPS gain we have from modifications of this type. And on weaker PCs the increment will be noticeably larger. However, in any case, at some point in the game we will certainly gain in performance, and we will not notice any drops in the quality of the rendered image, especially at times where FSR/DLSS/XESS is practically always on and we have TAA enabled by default in them.

And we will always reduce the demand for RAM and VRAM.

UPDATE 1v8

It works for the base game version, and for the version with DLC ”SHATTERED SPACE".
