Install Starfield to an SSD

Install your game to an SSD, as SSDs are faster than HDDs. A lot of people do this method to reduce the load times of their games.

Update Graphics Card Drivers

Open your respective graphics card driver manager, and update it to the driver's latest version. Since Starfield released recently, it might have graphical issues. Updating your graphics driver might help resolve these issues.

Disable V-Sync

Disable V-Sync to help increase FPS and reduce input lag. Disabling this option might cause screen tearing though!

Low FPS Performance Issue Causes

Graphics Card Cannot Handle Graphics
