AMD Announced as Starfield's Exclusive Partner on PC

AMD and Bethesda have today revealed that Starfield will be best experienced on a Ryzen processor and Radeon graphics card-equipped PC. Team Red has been announced as the giant open world game's official graphics and GPU partner, but its Xbox Series hardware also gets a couple of friendly shout-outs. Todd Howard, director and executive producer at Bethesda Game Studios, stated in the video presentation: "We have AMD engineers in our code base working on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) 2.0 image processing and upscaling and it looks incredible. You're going to get the benefits of that obviously on your PC but also on Xbox. We're super excited and can't wait to show everybody more."

Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of its Computing and Graphics Group at AMD, added: "Making this game even more special, is the close collaboration between Bethesda and AMD to unlock the full potential of Starfield. We have worked hand-in-hand with Bethesda Game Studios to optimize Starfield for both Xbox and PC with Ryzen 7000 series processors and Radeon 7000 series graphics. The optimizations both accelerate performance and enhance the quality of your gameplay using highly multi-threaded code that both Xbox and PC players will get to take advantage of."
AMD is proud to announce that we are Bethesda's exclusive PC partner for the next-generation role-playing game, Starfield. Watch this special announcement video to learn how AMD and Bethesda are working together to bring the galaxy to all players this September:

kapone32If you looked you would have seen that the Games that only support DLSS are Nvidia sponsored. Especially the first implementation. Do you think developers of their own volition do the extra work to add that code to the Game? Especially when it was first introed? Does not sponsored in a technology tangent mean hardware and software exclusive?
If you will recall, when DLSS was introduced, FSR was not a thing. So that's not a stretch there to say that it only had DLSS because it was the only upscaling tech that was even existant at the time.

In the time since both technologies were a thing, vastly more NVIDIA sponsored titles included both (or even all three) upscaling technologies, while only 3 AMD sponsored titles (which, weirdly, happen to be Sony first and second party titles) include both DLSS and FSR.


It paints a weird picture. Add to the conversation the concrete statement from NVIDIA saying they never have and never will block competing technologies in titles they sponsor, while AMD gives a basic non-answer to the same question paints a further weird picture.
