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."

226 Comments on AMD Announced as Starfield's Exclusive Partner on PC
There is some weird stuff going on in some games and 1% lows but I am not sure how widespread that its.
Let's hope the fundamentals are at least decent, performance level. This is something both nvidia and amd sponsored titles have struggled with.
At least for the industry anything that halts an nvidia total dominance is a good thing.
On anything that is not Nvidia 2000 series or newer DLSS is useless anyway. In that sense I don't mind them blocking it, DLSS could probably run just fine on intel hardware if allowed and maybe even on rdna3 woth some question marks.
There is no such think as exclusive on PC.
Partnering with the Pepsi of GPUs is a desperate move.
It's not like CP2077 hasn't become a commercial for Nvidia but you won't hear the AMD users complaining about that. The people complaining about FSR and how crappy it is (I don't use it) sound like the Gsync champions that made comments like Gsync looks better than Freesync. Where has that argument gone in world where users think that VRR is not Freesync?Can you play TWWH on Console?
now DLSS will not be supported and only FSR which means nothing good for PC gamers.
good job MS
You guys should hope for it to have decent performance/optimization and good gameplay, not to implement crap like DLSS and FSR2 because that's the only way to fix the bad performance.
And here i thought tpu comments would have more common sense
Video says FSR 2, your article says FSR 2.0.
It would probably be 2.2 or 2.3 if I had to guess.
I'm in an optimistic mood today, seeFor PC its just the cold hard reality whenever they have anything but a barren moon landscape going on ;)
So far every single gameplay scene I've seen on video was a stuttery mess.
People are just mad because this is AMD and not Nvidia, if it was Nvidia doing this there wouldn't be this much of a reaction.
to me either is fine DLSS or FSR shouldn't be needed ofc ... but i rather choose the more open one over the proprietary one (for no good reasons )
and FSR tend to look better for me than DLSS even in the recent revision ... :oops: (subjective opinion :p )
glad to be in the 30% ... it works just fine it play just fine ... hilariously less driver issues or crashes than the previous blue/green setup i had before (again, i had rigs with product from Intel, AMD, ATI and Nvidia ... )i saw games with the Nvidia logo having FSR in the settings o_O can't remember which one ...
nonetheless ... not a big loss ... i would not suffer if it has only DLSS, even if i had a Nvidia card i would not use it :laugh:
edit: i suspect a case of "making mountains of molehills" going on, for some.
I have over a thousand games in my Steam library. Probably a good time to play some of them.
