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.

Interestingly, Starfield actually gives us one of the bigger leads for the 7600 XT over the 7600 that we will see today, as the XT is 11% faster at 1080p. I don't think VRAM is an issue here, but the results were repeatable after several runs.

That margin drops at 1440p however, to just a 6% difference, so it was likely just due to the extra clock speed on offer. AMD kicks Nvidia's butt in this one too, as the 7600 XT is 24% faster than the 4060.
