AMD being a “partner” is business speak for “AMD paid us a bunch of money because having their brand on our product is a much larger advertising reach than they can accomplish on their own”.

That performance is better on AMD is in no way “bizarre”… it’s exactly what would be expected.

It's unexpected for nvidia users, who have grown used to games being optimised for them rather than AMD users.

This whole thing is just man bites dog news

Well, maybe. It's optimised for the Xbox which runs AMD hardware.

PS5 and Xbox Series both run on AMD hardware. Do you really think AMD has the cash to bribe Microsoft?

Bribery?

Every time you start a game and see an Intel, AMD, Nvidia or other logo outside of the studio or publisher, that’s paid advertising, plain and simple.

I haven’t seen any logos launching Starfield. It’s kinda nice actually
