Hoo boy. Not a good look AMD. It was scummy when nVidia did this, it's scummy when you do it.

I mean this is literally just sponsoring a game

This usually means only FSR, no DLSS. What does it matter that FSR can be used on all hardware, if it's the inferior technology? Let those who can use DLSS, and others FSR and XeSS.

Since it's your mom-and-pop multi-billion dollar company, it's fine that they can screw over consumers. They are not like the evil multi-billion dollar company from down the road.

Keeping out a vendor-specific one in favor of a vendor-agnostic one seems actually positive to me. That vendor-specific "superiority" must be fought.

Agreed. The net effect of this kind of choice - what the person above you is saying - is exactly the intended effect. It lowers the value of Nvidia users' cards to them, but, critically, only because Nvidia plays these bullshit exclusivity games.

Nvidia users can't get the most out of their cards on a big, popular new game and they're all mad about it? Well, there's an easy fix, Nvidia, to prevent these situations in the future: Just open DLSS up to everybody. Boom, done. AMD and Bethesda aren't the ones being assholes, here, and it's not their fault that Nvidia's customers aren't getting the most out of their cards.

FSR not being arbitrarily locked to a brand of hardware automatically makes it the superior technology.

I'm not interested in spending my energy on hating the underdog who makes their tech open so everyone can use it and works with 1/10 games when the bigger corporation trying to make a monopoly is working with 9/10 games and forcing out the other. Nvidia goes and tries to force third party card makers to change their AMD branding and nobody says shit but the moment AMD even just sponsors a game (they can still add DLSS if they wanted!) and suddenly its a problem and AMD is "just as bad" as nvidia. no, fuck that. fuck "but but but superior technology!!1"

Do you have any proof to these claims? This link posted above shows otherwise. Granted this is not absolute proof but the stats show a different story to me.

[–] Mika7150@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah it seems the landscaped changed and some DLSS titles have FSR2 now but they all got it months after DLSS, so it's basically an exclusivity period it seems

the rest of the article is kinda crap, they even admit its all speculation lol

[–] termus@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So no? The data the article is sourced from https://wccftech.com/whats-up-with-the-missing-nvidia-dlss-support-in-amd-sponsored-fsr-titles/ shows the exact opposite of what you are claiming. Nvidia explicitly states that they do not block devs from implementing FSR. Whereas AMD completely dodges the question.

[–] Mika7150@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I like how Nvidia just straight up tells a bold-faced lie and people buy it up "they explicitly state they don't so we believe them 🥺" but AMD posts a whole chart of all the examples proving they don't force no DLSS and apparently that's "dodging the question"
