The next major PC patch for Starfield is currently in beta, and early testing suggests that we can expect some gigantic performance improvements in this update.
Testing from the folks at Digital Foundry suggests that this patch is "a huge step forward for the game on PC," particularly with its "massive" performance boosts across various CPU and GPU configurations. The game now makes much better use of the multitude of cores available on high-end processors - DF's testing found a 20 percent performance boost in a run through Akila City on a Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
