And it was bound to happen. The moment PureDark started implementing a DRM to his DLSS 3 mods, we knew that someone would attempt to crack it. And, in just one day, crackers were able to provide a working crack for the DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mod of Starfield.
I seriously can’t believe what’s happening right now in the PC gaming space. On one hand, you have Bethesda collaborating with AMD and skipping the best upscaling technique. On the other hand, you have modders trying to make some money by releasing paid mods. And now we have people cracking paid mods. What in hell?
Anyway, for those wondering, we can confirm that the crack for the Starfield DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mod works. However, we won’t allow links to the actual file. I’m pretty sure that most of you will be able to find it on your own. We’ll be also deleting comments that link to it (so don’t waste your time and effort).
As I wrote in my PC Performance Analysis, Starfield is one of the most multi-threaded PC games we’ve seen to date. For what it’s worth, our AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D did not bottleneck us even at 1080p/Ultra. However, we are certain that older CPUs may have trouble running the game with over 60fps (let alone 100fps). And that’s where DLSS 3 Frame Generation comes. By using DLSS 3, RTX 40 series owners can significantly improve their performance.
Speaking of Starfield, I also suggest downloading this mod which resolves the game’s elevated black levels/washed-out graphics. You can also use this guide in order to increase your FOV. Then we have an easier-to-use FSR 2.0 to DLSS 2.0 Mod (that a lot of RTX 20 and 30 series owners will appreciate. You can find it in the pinned comment).
Have fun everyone and stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
