For those who want to see how these technologies perform in motion, watch our side-by-side comparison video. You need to turn on FSR 2.2 in the game's settings, because this mod replaces FSR 2.2 with DLSS.īelow, you will find comparison screenshots at 4K, 1440p, 1080p, and in different FSR and DLSS quality modes the TAA, DLAA and native FSR screenshots are also available in the dropdown menu.Launch the game and press END in the game to open the menu for the upscaler, and you can select DLSS.Extract the nvngx_dlss.dll into mods/UpscalerBasePlugin folder.Extract the PDPerfplugin.dll into mods/UpscalerBasePlugin folder.Download the UpscalerBasePlugin archive.Extract the archive into the Starfield folder.Download the StarfieldUpscaler archive.How to install the NVIDIA DLSS Mod for Starfield:

In our testing we used the following render scale values for FSR 2.2 and DLSS: Ultra Quality mode at 77%, Quality mode at 67%, Balanced mode at 58% and Performance mode at 50% render scale. When FSR 2.2 is enabled at 100% render scale, the game is running at native resolution with an effect similar to NVIDIA's Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing (DLAA). There's no quality levels anymore, such as Quality, Balanced or Performance mode, instead you simply change the render scaling ratio in the game's settings, which has a range from 50% to 100%.

But depending on the game, there are subtle differences in the implementations of competing upscalers, and this game has a non-standard upscaling profile. In order to run this game at maximum graphics settings and reasonable framerates at native resolution, quite a powerful GPU is required, which is why upscaling solutions are so important.

Unfortunately XeSS does not work correctly in this game because the standard quality levels for upscaling are missing and the image doesn't scale correctly with XeSS enabled. Several hours after the official release, PureDark from the modding community introduced NVIDIA's Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing (DLAA), NVIDIA's DLSS Super Resolution (DLSS 3.5) and Intel's Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) support, without external software needed for installation. IntroductionFollowing our testing of the FSR implementation in Starfield, the eager modding community continues to improve games faster than the developers.
