Starfield is a 2023 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. Announced in 2018, Starfield was delayed several times. The game was released for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on September 6, 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Creation Engine 2. We test using the Ultra preset, with 100% resolution scale, dynamic resolution disabled, DX12 API.

Lastly, we close up with Starfield, a game that used to favour AMD hardware but several updates and possibly driver tweaks have changed that behaviour. Still, 50fps at 1080p isn't bad, though it's a touch behind the 7700 XT and 9% slower than the 5060 Ti 16GB.

1440p sees that deficit increase to a 10% margin, though we do have to remember the 9060 XT 16GB has a 21% lower MSRP than the 5060 Ti 16GB.
