What game settings/amd adrenaline settings? 6700XT 5600X 16GB RAM

[~Maniac~]

Hi,
I was struggling to get decent FPS 1440p medium settings, just couldnt hit 60fps in city etc, high 40/low50.
I continued messing around with settings a lot, and suddenly my FPS was constant 60, still on med settings.(The max my monitor can do). Great I thought, game looking good, running smooth.

However today, back at 48/53 fps. I am not sure if what I have done either in AMD Adrenaline, or the in game display settings. I was showing my mate the game and tweaked some settings to show him the difference, etc, and now I cant remember the settings I had to get 60FPS.

Just wondered if anyone had 6700XT 5600X CPU, 16GB ram, SSD install, and were managing 60fps ok, and what are their settings.

Thanks.

turn on fluid frames in amd cp, use fsr3 in games settings (if your using the beta) if not using beta use fsr2
after you make the changes in the games settings restart the game, and then adjust from there to get 60fps , or watch a video on youtube as to what to do to get the most out of the 6700xt

Your CPU is the problem.

I have your exact same GPU, except I got a newer CPU quite recently and I have none of the issues you describe.

Have you enabled DOCP on your RAM?

You can try meddling with some of your GPU settings, but they will make very little, if any, difference, at all.

Performance in Starfield is perfectly correlated with Memory Bandwidth. Virtually every benchmark I have seen exhibits a strong relationship between performance on the one hand and CPU RAM and VRAM bandwidth.

Just to take this benchmark as an example, you can see that AMD"s entire lineup wipes the floor with Nvidia. What's even more glaring is that the 7900 XT kills the 4080. Why? AMD Cards simply have more VRAM than their Nvidia counterpart.

I've played Starfield on the 7900 XTX (24 Gigs of VRAM) .... and it is nothing short of beautiful.

Hope this helps all of you.

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated. I will check all the comments mentioned.

the slider for Render Resolution Scale will help with that. it occasionally resets to 100% if other settings are changed.

Ah, that is possibly what happened.
I will try FSR2 again and tweak it.

I did turn on fluid frames, and was getting excellent fps, smooth gameplay. The only problem was screen tearing when in/near buildings. I tried various options ref vsync on amd adrenaline and also triple buffering, but still got screen tearing. Any suggestions to remove screen tearing. It is the only thing which is stopping me using fluid frames.

play around with it , turn on af , bump up the game settings to high, this is where the tinkering comes in , look at some guides on youtube, turn on aa too

Thanks Pike. I tried the beta, fsr3, high graphics, 60fps solid. Thanks

now turn on aa(override/ multisample) when i used supersample i would get an occasional screen freeze for a sec or 2. turn on af in amd cp too,
dont worry about the fps as long as it feels smooth, what matters is response time, if you start getting input lag back off a bit
if you really get into it you can overclock the gpu, but dont overclock the vram (it'll probably blackscreen and reset the driver),
you have an all amd setup so you should also have smart access memory enabled ,
there's videos on how to do all that so you dont break or burn up anything

I'm playing starfield on a rtx 4070 with everything on ultra and it's smooth and beautiful too. And my card only has 12gb. I think having more video memory is not really necessary. I think your previous point about the CPU playing a big part was more on point.
