Starfield Steam Beta DLSS update

Thanks to the update patch notes on Steam, we now know the extent of the DLSS support that Bethesda has added to Starfield.

“This update introduces Nvidia DLSS support for our PC players. Compatible Nvidia graphic cards can now use DLSS Super Resolution, Deep Learning Anti-aliasing (DLAA), Nvidia Reflex Low Latency, and DLSS Frame generation,” it reads.

With Super Resolution, Nvidia Reflex, and the sought after DLSS Frame Generation added to Starfield, users should see a pretty significant boost in performance in the game. Unfortunately, those without a 40 series GPU will not have access to DLSS Frame Generation.
