Why AMD is the partner and not NVIDIA or Intel.

[Dragontoast]

Consoles use AMD for GPU and CPU.
FSR2(AMD) supports NVIDIA GPUs and Intel GPUs.

There are more PC gamers than console obviously but Intel is the majority with 71% of the market while NVIDIA(17%) only has 5% more of the market than AMD(12%).
AMD partnership has more value than any of the others, both to Bethesda and to Consumers.

Edit: Also FSR3 is slated for 2023, so Starfield may be the first title to use FSR3. Zenimax previously got to premier FSR2 with Deathloop so it isn't a big stretch that it would happen.

[BEEP!]

Because AMD offered a better deal and the others didn't it's that simple it's marketing 101 a very common thing.

[breadman]

cause amd paid the most cash

they can't compete so they bribe instead

[Dragontoast]

Love that the first 2 comments are immediately pretending that a developer would have 0 reason to seek out directly working with AMD.
IT HAD TO BE MONEY!
Couldn't have been that Bethesda wanted to optimize Starfield to work for consoles and support upscaling for as many users as possible.
THE BIGGEST WALLET ALWAYS WINS, IT HAD TO BE MONEY!

dlss is open source and free

the only reason it wouldn't have it is if amd stipulated against it in the contract

if they wanted to "optimize it for everybody", it would have both as it that would benefit "everybody"

use your head

AMD can not compete with Nvidia GPU hardware so spend millions to cripple a game for Nvidia users. Just look at the pile of crap Callisto Poopoocall turned out to be. Horrible looking thing with low frame rates on top end kit.

Bad Devs are to blame for that AMD doesn't make the game.

devs don't decide who to partner with, the publisher does

Never said anything like that AMD doesn't have anything to do with the gane being bad to begin with that's my point even if Nvidia was partnered it would still be a bad game.

He's stating that AMD had nothing to do with the games construction. That would be down to the Development team, AMD don't write games as far as we are aware.

You have it backwards. DLSS is closed-source and nvidia-exclusive. FSR is open-source and can be used with any platform.

The extreme outlier Callisto Protocol?
The one that tried to support UE5 features in UE4?
The one that used Denuvo for PC that crippled CPU performance?
The one that performed better on Consoles?
That Callisto Protocol?

What a bad take.

callisto never switched to ue5, it was always on ue4 and still is

uh no, dlss is open source

look it up

[Haziza]

Due to the crappy consoles. AMD makes the chips for both Xbox and PS5. And because AMD hates gamers!

my bad, backported features from UE5 to UE4 in a custom version that exclusively exists for Callisto.

One Google search proves otherwise that DLSS is not open source that's FSR it is open source.
