AMD is Starfield’s Exclusive PC Partner

AMD is proud to announce that we are Bethesda's exclusive PC partner for the next-generation role-playing game, Starfield.

Well that is super fucking disappointing news.

It's like Bethesda don't want us to enjoy this game fully one way or the other on xbox it's 30 fps and on pc they have partnered with the much inferior amd and there upscaling technology, bit of bummer there no ray tracing either on the pc side.

No dlss support at all or frame generation, what a terrible call.

This was the game I was most looking forward to playing on my new pc, thanks for nothing amd with your bullshit partnership rules.

Fsr will be there...while not as good as dlss 3 it's still a decent option as long as it's 2.0 or higher. Also amd currently has the better gaming cpu with the x3d chips. Maybe ur talking about nvidia and even then unless u have a 4090 amd has the equivalent to nivida in performance.

The problem is that they are declining to support both technologies (FSR and DLSS) simply because the company with the inferior system paid them to not support the superior tech. I'm glad FSR exists; it's great for non-RTX cards, consoles, and Steam Deck, but I don't want its existence to preclude my use of DLSS. Very disappointing. Here's hoping someone gets a DLSS mod going pretty quickly.

[JEECE]

Yeah this is massively disappointing. DLSS is such a good technology, unlike most gimmicks companies try to push. I understand FSR is available to a wider range of GPUs, but the game could have supported both technologies. It's frustrating to see Bethesda choose to exclude one tech and prevent a group of gamers from having the best experience simply because a company with inferior tech paid them off.

I guess mods may eventually fix this though.

[Goosejuice]

That's understandable from a dlss stand point, and I agree it should have both techs to use. With that said...the modding community for Bethesda games is some if not the best. Dlss will be added by modders I'm guessing within first week or 2 and at same time fixing all the bugs the game ships with.

Funny. DF was just talking about this on their direct yesterday.

There's a chance that it might still have DLSS. Forspoken, RE4 and The last of us are 3 games I can think of off the top of my head that were AMD sponsored but still had DLSS as well. Don't think it'll have frame gen though which sucks because I wanted to try it out on this game

[Sonic1881]

What a dumb move. Is this the first time AMD has done this 🤔

[Flawlessmic]

i only just started gaming on pc, but after reading some other new outlets about this it is a practice AMD has been doing with all there sponsored titles so no its not the firs time

[Sonic1881]

When you said "No dlss support" I cringe 😬 HARD. I'm very upset about this news.

[Psychonaut85]

Well that sucks. No DLSS then. Lamé.

[Good-Smurf]

So no DLSS on my Nvidia setup then?
Lame.

[Sonic1881]

You gotta be kidding me. I am disappointed in this news. I have an intel CPU and Nvidia RTX 4090

[Fishy Fingers]

LOL

I wouldnt usually entertain it but based on your comment history with it's total lack of any interest/entusiasm for anything that isnt a PS5 I find that highly unlikely.

[Sonic1881]

Maybe you should keep digging in my comment history. I've mention I'm a PC gamer first before a console owner plenty of times. You just assume when you don't $hit about me 😂 My favorite game is the Witcher series and that wasn't even on consoles the first time it came out

[Fishy Fingers]

Which account did you mention that on? Its hard to keep track.

[Sonic1881]

Whatever floats your boat 😂

[LordoftheCritics]

This is worse than the 30fps news.

[Sonic1881]

It's hard to believe. This is a first

[Rimeskeem]

Man, this just keeps getting worse. First the 30fps on console and now it's exclusively using an arguably worse technology for PC?
