Nintendo is like the king of optimization, but with a lot of handhelds like steamdeck that are coming out now mostly based on the AMD APU, i would see Vulkan growing even more popular as time goes on as well as FSR on top.
From what I can find, the only console that supports Vulkan is the Switch.
TextureWorks™ - texture upscaling only for 6GB rtx5000 (and up) owners . And NpcWorks™ - AI generated in-game characters exclusive to RTX owners. Imagine even more crowded towns, like in AC Unity but with characters that you can have random conversation with.Did you just say proprietary ray tracing acceleration?!

Witch Microsoft buying up a large part of the AAA game industry, I could see it going more DirectX...
You did, you did say proprietary ray tracing acceleration!Did you just say proprietary ray tracing acceleration?!

Finally some kind of response from AMD, for whatever it’s worth.

Also the new Avatar game, a AMD sponsored title, advertises FSR (2 tho, FSR3 TBD) in it's PC features trailer, despite also launching with DLSS support as well.-That wasn't so hard, was it Frank? That exact response, but much earlier into this storm in a teacup, would have put this to bed pretty fast.
I can understand AMD not wanting to direct all the hate straight at Bethesda and turning AMD partnerships into a headache for Dev's they partner with though.
Yeah, these studios make developers crunch and crunch and crunch and they barely release half baked games anyway, a lot of the time. Implementing and validating multiple upscalers isn’t their priority when FSR can run on anything.Also the new Avatar game, a AMD sponsored title, advertises FSR (2 tho, FSR3 TBD) in it's PC features trailer, despite also launching with DLSS support as well.
I think some studios, partnered up with the GPU vendors or not, just don't bother with some of these features, particularly nVidia's upscaling stuff, which as we know remains harder to implement than AMD's (effort = time = extra spending... which game studio's just don't like). Funny how features like these have slowly become near must-haves for most games nowadays to the point people are itching for conspiracy theories if they don't.
I'm starting to think this whole thing was a one big nothingburger (as I suspected), one which AMD handled poorly. They're not very good cooks are they lol
My guess is that, given the long lead time between the backlash and this statement (c. 5 weeks), that the agreement (c. mid July) did have some type of exclusivity clause, which was revised when AMD realized that this was a bad look for them and Bethesda to have these clauses, which would explain their evasiveness around these questions when put forward originally..-That wasn't so hard, was it Frank?

And this response, ladies and gentlemen, is why Frank Azor never bothered speaking in the first place. People gonna complain no matter what he says.The comments from Frank Azor are meaningless if nothing changes. If all upcoming AMD sponsored games come exclusively with FSR - his words are just words.

Yeah, it was all a conspiracy. AMD is benevolent and great… who am I to question that?And this response, ladies and gentlemen, is why Frank Azor never bothered speaking in the first place. People gonna complain no matter what he says.
Or maybe they were waiting to unveil their FSR3 tech in full first. Now that they are confident that they have at least a fighting chance against DLSS3 in image/video quality shootouts, they are now more open to let developers support DLSS.
There are employees at Nvidia who would be made available to port DLSS to Starfield. Same goes for RE4, Jedi Survivor & Callisto Protocol.-Eh, Starfield doesn't have FSR 3 and apparently there are no plans to add FSR 3 given the partner slide or upcoming games slide. I could see this argument work if Starfield was launching with FSR 3 or getting it soon but it's not.
I think Devs get money from AMD to put in FSR, don't get money from NV to add DLSS (or can't get money due to the licensing agreement), and so they don't. That simple.
When others are being paid to do something, why would you do it for free?
And THIS response, is why engaging with you is less-than-fruitful. Nobody ever said that "AMD is benevolent and great". All they did is come out and say that Bethsoft can use DLSS if they want to. That's it. Case closed, AMD isn't prohibiting it. And Bethsoft STILL isn't talking.Yeah, it was all a conspiracy. AMD is benevolent and great… who am I to question that?
Some people just have such a deep-rooted hate of AMD, they just cannot let go of their conspiracy theories, even once the truth comes to light. They are anti-truth. They are Evil.And THIS response, is why engaging with you is less-than-fruitful. Nobody ever said that "AMD is benevolent and great".

Another mountain made out of a molehill.
Turns out that one AMD guy on Twitter/X was telling the truth.
Some people are just delusional, which isn't necessarily evil. Also @GodisanAtheist is probably right in that NV probably takes their partnership money and goes home as soon as they see a developer engage with AMD. Devs have long-since learned to take money where they can get it to offset development costs, so in case the game is a dud, it won't hurt them as much. If your dev house is "for sale" then of course you aren't going to implement a feature like DLSS until NV pays you to do so.Some people just have such a deep-rooted hate of AMD, they just cannot let go of their conspiracy theories, even once the truth comes to light.

That’s quite a leap. Go through my post history, show me a single post where I’m disparaging of AMD.Some people just have such a deep-rooted hate of AMD, they just cannot let go of their conspiracy theories, even once the truth comes to light. They are anti-truth. They are Evil.
It’s not delusional nor do I dislike AMD. Investing in AMD was a huge factor in me being able to buy my first home. I’ve also owned 2 Ryzen processors in the past.Some people are just delusional, which isn't necessarily evil.

It is quite obvious there’s incentives to not adopt DLSS when AMD comes on as a sponsor. I’ll happily change my tune if DLSS is available on Starfield or any other upcoming games that AMD sponsors. If you own an Nvidia GPU that comment from Frank Azor is cold comfort when Starfield still is exclusive to FSR and I’m now going to play 4 major titles this year without DLSS support (I didn’t have it available on RE4, Callisto Protocol, Jedi Survivor and now Starfield).
For the 40-50% of the market that own an RTX GPU, they’re still getting shafted.
