About

Starless, released in 2022, is a captivating indie action-adventure game set in a haunting sci-fi universe. Players assume the role of a survivor navigating a space Ark riddled with horrifying creatures, blending intense stealth mechanics with strategic decision-making. The game's gripping storyline and retro-inspired graphics create a unique atmosphere that appeals to fans of classic sci-fi narratives.

For those looking to benchmark Starless, the game demands relatively modest hardware, making it accessible to a wide range of players. With a minimum GPU requirement of an entry-level card—scoring around 9638 in benchmarks—you can expect smooth gameplay even at lower graphics settings. Players with GPUs like the NVIDIA GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 560 should experience solid FPS performance, ensuring a fluid gaming experience that complements its intense action sequences.

If you enjoy immersive storytelling coupled with strategic gameplay, Starless is worth your time. Its blend of action and adventure, along with its intriguing premise, makes it a compelling choice for indie game enthusiasts and sci-fi fans alike.

Performance profile

Released in August 2022, Starless targets RTX 20/30-series and RX 6000-era hardware. A current mid-range GPU (RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT) is the sweet spot for 1440p Ultra; 4K needs a high-end card.

As a strategy title, Starless is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Starless. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
