Around 75% of PC gamers use an Nvidia graphics card. If you’re one of the minority AMD aficionados, grand—Starfield is already putting its best foot forward for you. But if you are one of the GeForce-toting masses you’re probably feeling a little stung by the refusal of Bethesda to include DLSS in one of the biggest games of the year, instead making AMD’s FSR2 Starfield’s exclusive upscaler.
And if you’re rocking an Intel graphics card… well, I feel bad for you, man. But honestly, you’ve got bigger problems than jamming XeSS into the game, given the state of the current Intel Arc graphics drivers for Starfield.
Still, whatever the truth of AMD’s deal with Bethesda, and how long that means we might have to wait for an official Starfield DLSS update, enterprising PC gamers were always going to have a stab at doing it themselves. And, true to their word, modder PureDark was one of the first, getting a pair of mods—one free and the other paid-for—out ahead of the full post-early access release.
Their paid-for DLSS 3 with Frame Generation mod has since been cracked, which I’m feeling pretty ambivalent about. I get the concerns around putting mods behind a paywall, but there are definitely times modders deserve a little compensation for the work they put in. Still, there has also been a free mod enabling Frame Generation released by LukeFZ564
Thankfully, now that all the hard work has been done for us, it’s remarkably easy to get DLSS running in Starfield and deliver some sharper, more stable gaming visuals, as well as higher performance, for Nvidia GPU owners. So, what do you have to do? Well, allow me to explain.
