DLSS, FSR or XeSS in Stellar Blade: what to choose and how many FPS
Stellar Blade supports FSR. On the GeForce RTX 4060 at 1440p high: 45–67 FPS native, 61–90 FPS with FSR Quality and 83–125 FPS with FSR Performance (FPSHQ model).
Official support: Stellar Blade spec
What the GPU vendors confirmed themselves: the game name in the source, the link and the record date (FPSHQ snapshot Oct 9, 2026).
- FSR 4 (FSR Upscaling): Radeon RX 9000 and RX 7000; ML frame generation — RX 9000 (per AMD). Games with FSR 4 →
FPS in Stellar Blade with and without upscaling model estimate
1440p, high settings. For each GPU — the best technology the game offers on it.
| GPU | Best choice | Native | Quality | Balanced | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce GTX 1660 Super | FSR | 19–30 | 26–40 | 30–46 | 36–54 |
| GeForce RTX 3060 | FSR | 38–57 | 52–77 | 60–89 | 71–105 |
| GeForce RTX 4060 | FSR | 45–67 | 61–90 | 70–105 | 83–125 |
| Radeon RX 7600 | FSR | 38–56 | 51–76 | 58–86 | 70–105 |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | FSR | 70–110 | 95–145 | 105–165 | 125–195 |
FPSHQ model with a CPU limit: the gain from upscaling cannot exceed the CPU limit.
Internal render resolution
| Mode | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| FSR 2/3 Quality | 1280×720 | 1707×960 | 2560×1440 |
| FSR 2/3 Balanced | 1129×635 | 1506×847 | 2259×1271 |
| FSR 2/3 Performance | 960×540 | 1280×720 | 1920×1080 |
XeSS is not in the table: Intel changed the mode ratios between versions, and the XeSS version differs from game to game.
What to choose in Stellar Blade
- Radeon, GeForce GTX and integrated graphics: FSR works on all of them. At 1080p prefer Quality; Performance gets noticeably blurry.
- If FPS barely grows, you are CPU-bound: lower view distance and object density; an upscaler will not help here.
Real player measurements
There are not enough player measurements with upscaling in Stellar Blade yet — we show the model. Measure your PC with the FPSHQ app: measurements with DLSS/FSR are counted separately.

How we calculate
DLSS, FSR and XeSS support comes from the official NVIDIA, AMD and Intel lists (each record has a link and date in the “Official support” block); for games without an official record — from the FPSHQ catalog. Internal resolution follows NVIDIA’s (DLSS) and AMD’s (FSR 2/3) official scale factors.
FPS is the single FPSHQ model; the upscaling gain uses the model’s average factors for Quality, Balanced and Performance, capped by the CPU. It is a model, not a measurement in a specific game.
Player measurements with an upscaler (FPSHQ app for Windows) are stored separately from native ones and will appear on the page once there is a sample.
DLSS, FSR or XeSS in Stellar Blade: what to choose and how many FPS
Yes. AMD lists “Stellar Blade™” in its official list: FSR Upscaling (FSR 4), AMD FSR 3 (list dated Sep 22, 2026). FSR 4 runs on Radeon RX 9000 and RX 7000.
