As far as I can tell, there is none.
A short pre-compilation step when you first boot the game puts paid to that.
There is still some stutter, however, but it’s clearly not related to the shader compilation pipeline.
After experiencing so many issues with this in so many games this year, that’s great news.
In terms of graphics options and the user experience, there are issues.
A bigger blemish comes with the lack of basic options, kicking off with no field of view option.
Why can’t you change it?
Meanwhile, the SDR grading can look quite bizarre too, grey-looking and lacking in contrast.

In summary, I’d say there’s good news and bad news with Starfield on PC.
However, there’s clearly work to do.
