AMD and Bethesda Softworks announce a partnership for the PC edition of
Starfield, detailing features the space game will support when played under
AMD hardware, mentioning graphics cards, CPUs, and Xbox. There's a
dedicated
Starfield Section on the AMD website with more on the news. It offers
this video
where discussing what this means for AMD users. There's a
post on Wccftech discussing what this means for non-AMD users, noting that
it seems one of the things AMD is paying for is to block support for competing
technologies. Word is: "Looking at the other camp (AMD), out of the 13 or so
sponsored AAA titles, only 3 titles received support for DLSS. This is something
to be concerned about since these are major AMD-sponsored titles and game
developers might have been asked to keep upscaling technology exclusivity to the
Radeon camp since there's no reason to not have DLSS or XeSS support within
these titles. Even in Intel's camp, the company has been very open in the
integration of its own and competition tech in AAA titles." Here's more on the
collaboration:
Leading up to the launch of the highly anticipated title on
September 6, AMD and Bethesda are working closely together to deliver
exceptional performance and stunning visuals to the expansive universe of
Starfield on Xbox consoles, as well as on gaming PCs powered by Ryzen 7000
Series processors and Radeon 7000 Series graphics.
In addition, gamers will be able to take advantage of advanced AMD features and
technologies that deliver a truly immersive gaming experience, including the
advanced cross-platform AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 upscaling
technology.
