I'm getting fps drops to the single digits, while on average its around 30 fps. Even on lower settings and in smaller instances. my specs are:

  • AMD Ryzen 7
  • 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4
  • 2047MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060
  • 953GB Western Digital WDC PC SN730 SDBPNTY-1T00-1101
  • 1863GB Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2T (Starfield's installed here)

Any help or insight is welcome.

Solved: It was an overheating CPU due to the vents being clogged with dust. Thanks for all the advice given, I do really appreciate it!

I had a pretty good boost using a mod similar to this

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/111

(I have a 40x card so used DLSS3 equivalent)

I did install this mod today, and although my average fps went up to about 35/40 fps, i still get those massive framedrops. They only last about 5 seconds, but its getting quite annoying. I did some searching before I posted here and all i could find was "install on ssd", and both my drives are ssd so i doubt that's the issue.

This still sounds like a VRAM limitation. Do you have a way to monitor VRAM, like having FRAPS installed.

No, as another user suggested it was my CPU overheating, which i have fixed and haven't had any problems since. and I don't know why it says 2gb on the videocard, it is a 6gb card. I double-checked before posting.

Got it. 6TB should be fine as long as you’re not cranking settings. Play on, my dude!

Doesn't DLSS only sypport RTX 3000 and beyond? I might be wrong

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, DLSS works fine on any RTX cards, but DLSS frame-gen isn't possible on anything except the 4000 series

I red all rtx cards could do DLSS, but only the 40xx could do DLSSG, but just like you I'm no expert on these things.
