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.

As for Starfield, the B580 delivers 43fps on average, and while its only 6fps ahead of the RTX 4060 at 1080p, that works out as a 16% margin – not bad going. It's also about level with the RX 7600 XT, and 17% faster than the A750.

1440p performance also scales well, with the B580 now 18% ahead of the 4060 and 6% faster than the RX 7600 XT. Its 1% lows are slightly behind the competition however, but they're not awful.
