Starfield Update 1.8.83 Rolls Out, Brings Nvidia DLSS Support

[ad_1]

Since releasing in September, Starfield fans have been waiting for DLSS support. The wait is now over as the latest patch has started rolling out, which comes with a bunch of other tweaks and fixes for the Bethesda game.

You can now eat food that you find

The patch notes for version 1.8.83 of Starfield show what Berhesda has implemented and improved upon. For starters, a number of issues have been addressed, such as fixing a problem some players had which made it so they couldn’t fire a gun. There’s also been a popular request added in. The game now lets you consume food and drink items that you find out and about.

One of the major highlights for the update is the game now adding support for Nvidia DLSS – or Deep Learning Super Sampling – for improved visual quality on Team Green’s hardware. This is specific to those playing on PC.

During the run-up to the game’s launch, it was announced that Bethesda would be teaming up with AMD, optimizing Starfield for its products, which included graphical upscaling. As a result, Nvidia users may have been concerned they were going to be left behind.

Fortunately, Bethesda saw the writing on the wall and promised support for non-AMD users. The patch notes go on to say that those using an Nvidia “compatible” graphics card for Starfield can make use of DLSS, as well as “Deep Learning Anti-aliasing (DLAA), Nvidia Reflex Low Latency, and DLSS Frame generation.”

Update Highlights

Nvidia DLSS Support 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.

Please note: While DLSS Frame Generation is active, VSync needs to be toggled OFF to see the benefit. We are working to automatically adjust this setting in a future update.

Let Them Eat! By popular request, we have added the ability to ingest food and drink items upon finding them in the environment. You can enjoy those Chunks immediately or save them for later. The choice is yours.
