Back to Starfield briefly: as a follow-up to my previous post, I installed this mod to get DLSS3 with frame generation working. Right now with every single graphical option set to the max, I'm getting 70-80 fps in every area. I got Windows 11 and my LG C3 working together via G-Sync, and between that and the high framerate the game feels very smooth.
More importantly, this mod helped clean up the game's poor contrast, at least a little. After trying them all, I settled on the "50%" version. It turns out that in addition to the game not having a native HDR implementation, every scene has an over-the-top brute-forced color filter drawn over the entire buffer, which was further washing out the image. Now with that mod installed, the Windows 11 "Auto HDR" feature is able to better flex its muscles.
I still think it's absurd that the game doesn't have DLSS and HDR support "out of the box", but it's at least past the "playable" threshold for me with these alterations. In any event, on to the Redfall screenshots:
