A warm welcome to all! 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.
Important! After installation, make sure to change your graphics settings to a different graphics preset BEFORE changing them to your preffered settings. This will force the game to use the newly modified files for when you select your preferred graphics settings After install, the mod supports all possible combinations manually selected or predefined by the game. You can change graphic options any time...
For AMD GPU users try on (first in Bios, chipset AM4 or newer) Smart Acces Memory. For RX 5xxx series GPUs and newer... Tutorial YT You can gain an extra few dozen percent, depending on the game.... In Starfield for me the gain is minimal, but it is there.
*** INFO about my new 'HQWorld - Starfield' mod for this game! ***is ready!*** My mod 'HQ Med Kit' And 'HQ - DigiPick and CreditStick' *** UPDATE 1v8 Update ready for game ver. 1.13.61+ Update/Balance some settings for new game version. Have fun all;) It works for the base game version, and for the version with DLC ”SHATTERED SPACE".
I highly recomended in grapic oprions use CONTACT SHADOWS to LOW setting, because works better with normal shadows. You can test this by moving away from and closer to objects hanging on walls casting shadows on those walls...
My new DISCORD intended for members of this forum using my modifications and more. You are cordially invited!
Note - For those wondering this mod WILL NOT disable achievements in your game.
This mod greatly improved my fps and stability my fps no longer drops so drastically and i have a smooth playable experience on medium with the dlss mod (preset C 0.70 sharpness no reshade) on a 2070 and r5 3600 at 1440p. my fps is a stable 45-50 while in New Atlantis (its only this low in cities and has no problem with crowd density set to high) and runs around 70-85 when in various caves/houses/building/ships and in and out of combat with the lowest ive seen it drop to is 65.
Tried both this and the other optimization mod on nexus and yes I can confirm the other one did make the game look worse. Unsure how it was doing it the other mod made some buildings look like mud when I had changed settings off of the ultra preset after switching. So i went back to the original files and played for a while. Saw this mod and what the modder had posted about the same situation I had encountered so I gave his a try. Hopefully I was supposed to do this I just downloaded the all in one file and tossed all the presets into the folder. However after going in game changing from ultra to low then back to ultra to make the new settings work. I re adjusted the settings to the way i like example turning off dynamic res, changing shadows from high to medium etc. Overall my man from the same setup I had OG to your optimizations I got roughly 5 to 10 more fps which hey Ill take whatever I can get, and you did it without anything looking different . Bethesda needs to hire you to fix this mess.
Wanted to post for anyone to see, force enabling ReBar gave me about a 10+ fps improvement on my 3070. If you have a CPU/GPU that supports ReBar, I recommend enabling it in your bios and forcing it on with Nvidia Profile Inspector for Starfield (you can find videos if you dont know how), and see if you get an improvment. Obviously, ymmv.
I wanted to thank everyone for such a positive response to my modification, your comments, words of thanks and financial support (PayPal) is very important to me! I am glad that the modification helps thousands of players to enjoy the game "Starfield" in better performance! I also thank the Company "BETHESDA" for the release of this great game! Which as it has always been.... Will be patched and better and better! I have been part of this forum since 2012 (under this nickname since 2015). And I can't imagine using any other site when it comes to publishing my modifications and using other forum users' modifications! I'm also sorry that not everyone is satisfied with the performance of my modification, but unfortunately the variety of hardware and drivers in our PCs is very different. I also apologize for not always clear my comments or even descriptions of my modification, I'm 49 years old and never learned ENG!, so I'm trying to catch up with that now, but I'm often helped by a translator! Thanks again for every comment and have fun playing Starfield + Performance BOOST! Greetings Marek.G (A100N)
Tried so many "performance" mods in the past in Skyrim or Fallout and they made the problem worse or did nothing. This mod pushed my fps in new atlantis from unstable 35 fps to rock solid 60. Thank you!
I have a 7800X3D and an RTX 4090, but I still use this mod at all times. I play at 1440p with DLSS at 75% which is effectively rendering at 1080p but scaling up to 1440p. I also play on with everything on Ultra except shadows which I have kept at high.
It doesn't really help my overall FPS, but what this mod does do for higher end rigs is reduce large stuttering in cities and overall 1% low improvements. I recommend this mod to anyone, regardless of specs. It's reduced GPU usage for virtually no visual quality loss. Personally I think the vanilla values are too high for their respective categories. Thank you for this mod, it's drastically helped me enjoy the game more as I am highly sensitive to stuttering.
Are you using "Starfield HD Overhaul"? I used "Starfield HD Overhaul" before and had this situation. Later, after removing "Starfield HD Overhaul", it was restored. I wonder if "Starfield HD Overhaul" takes up too many resources??
something weird is happenig. didnt really noticed when it started doing that, but it felt like something was off and i decided to roll back to original settings and my game runs better. i loose 10 fps using this mod? i remember this mod doing wonders for me before, i dont understand why it changed for me.
hello brother. greetings from Argentina. you are amazing. from playing with my i5 11400f 16gb of ram and an rx5700xt at 35 45 fps on medium low. I started playing it in ultra and other high settings at the same fps as in medium low. I was very surprised by the change I had. let's see. Keep in mind that I am using other texture mods. but many times the game crashed for me. and now it's going crazy. Thank you very much for your work. A friend didn't believe that he earned that performance until he came home and verified it. ha ha. again thank you very much for this
Grettings form Poland! :) U have good (still) GPU for this game! I have rx5700xt Aorus before... GL in game! And THX for ur good words about me and mod!
Welcome to what its like to be a mod author. 90% of problems are user errors and not the mod, 9% are people who don't know how to use mod managers, and 1% is the actual mod ever having a problem.
