Starfield benchmark on RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Starfield FPS with a RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 59FPS min 51Acceptable | 48FPS min 42Acceptable | 26FPS min 23Poor |
| High | 77FPS min 67Good | 63FPS min 55Good | 34FPS min 30Acceptable |
| Medium | 101FPS min 88Good | 82FPS min 72Good | 44FPS min 39Acceptable |
| Low | 130FPS min 113Excellent | 107FPS min 94Good | 57FPS min 51Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 23% | GPU 59% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-10400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X. There is 16% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Starfield at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 59 | 74 | 86 |
| 1440p | 48 | 65 | 79 |
| 4K | 26 | 38 | 48 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
The RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X and that processor are well matched in Starfield: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X Enough for Starfield?
The RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X delivers 59 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Starfield. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 48 FPS and at 4K 26 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
