It is one of the most anticipated games and thanks to the modding community we will be able to enjoy NVIDIA DLSS 2 technology in Starfield without any problem. I can confirm that a mod that adds this technology is already available into the game and also includes the ability to use Intel XeSS, which means that users of GeForce RTX and Intel Arc graphics cards will be able to activate their respective intelligent rescaling and image reconstruction technologies.

This mod is available through NexusMods and is created by PureDark, a well-known figure in the community, although he has received some criticism in recent weeks for converting some of his most important mods. in payment solutionsThe mod to add DLSS 3 to Starfield that he is preparing can actually only be obtained by paying a fee that this modder has set on his Patreon account.

I have to say it personally I think it’s good that this person wants to earn money with his workAfter all, developing these mods requires knowledge and time, and you have every right to financial compensation. However, I also understand that some may feel outraged because the “magic” of PC modding is precisely its altruistic nature. What can I say, at least we have a mod to enjoy DLSS 2 in Starfield for free.

Coming back to the mod, it is important to remember that the performance improvement we get when using DLSS 2 or XeSS will depend on the performance of our CPU and specifically the performance it offers in a single thread. This is due to what I have mentioned on other occasions, which is that using image reconstruction and scaling techniques reduces the base resolution and This increases CPU dependency.

The process of installing the mod to use DLSS 2 in Starfield is very simple, just follow the instructions on the page which are basically extract the mod in the root of the gameOr install base upscaler plugin, place “PDPerfplugin.dll” in “mods/UpscalerBasePlugin” path, download “nvngx_dlss.dll” or “libxess.dll” and place them in the same path as above. Once this is done, we enter the game, press the “end” key to open the options menu and choose between DLSS 2 or XeSS.
