If they shipped with DLSS they would have avoided most negative reviews

[Sledge Hammer!]

Well, not all negative reviews, but a lot. Most of the post-release bad reviews had to do with graphical performance. Now that DLSS is built-in I have much better performance and playable graphics than I did on release day. Bethesda could have avoided a lot of negative publicity by including both FSR and DLSS on Day 1. If they skipped DLSS because of an exclusivity agreement with AMD, then that deal ended up costing them more money than AMD paid them, guaranteed.

Lies.

DLSS 3 does make a huge difference. It looked good before on a 2080 but on a 4090 it is beyond awesome. Of course you won't influence the entrenched haters, this game could cure the common cold and those folks would say they need their sneezes.

Enabling file caching would help a ton with performance. I know from my own verification that an hour of play time results in 86% reloading of resources (cache hit ratio using a 3rd party caching software).

Ah, if only that were true, I'd be a happy man.

As I recall, AMD's FSR works with all modern video cards, whereas nVidia's DLSS only works with nVidia cards. It seems reasonable to me for Bethesda to optimize first for the more inclusive technology.

Game has a Dynamic ID issue as some vendor's, item sales and side + supply missions keeps going missing. Then the game will (of course) crash on Windows 11 to desktop.

dlss is hype for gpu manufacturers
extra work for the guy makin the game to set up

AMD provided engineering support to assist in FSR2 implementation. Didn't they have an agreement with AMD to release it with only FSR2 but were allowed to add DLSS post release?

DLSS is proprietary nonsense designed to allow Nvidia to sell under-powered, overpriced cards and claim on the box their cards get X or Y FPS when they actually do not at native resolution. Then people buy them and they complain about games that don't run well but never blame Nvidia. We see tons of evidence of this on this and other forums. A card should be judged by its raw native rendering performance and nothing else. If it can't render at interactive frame rates at a specific resolution without up-scaling, then it cannot handle said resolution.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Look up what DLSS really does. It is a good technology.

Seriously doubt it. They worked to optimize it for AND cpu's since consoles use those for the most part. AT least that is what I've read in some articles on the subject.

As far as DLSS, all cards supported FSR, DLSS was exclusive to NVidea. So there was no reason to push it at launch since FSR was supported across the board.

From what I read the performance of the update came mainly from the cpu changes. DLSS did help but the performance increased even without it.

The only way they would have avoided negative reviews for this game would have been to just not ship it at all. This game is at best a 2 year game not a near 10 year game what with there only being 3 real enemy types and them all being different versions of humans in space suits and there only being 20 points of interest with a garbage protrash generation system.

If your game has procedural generation in it it just means you were too lazy to actually make content and would rather offload that job to a poorly coded AI with the memory of a goldfish.

Lol... no.. lack of DLSS was the least of this games problems........
