Starfield datamine shows no sign of Nvidia DLSS or Intel XeSS

Investigations into the Starfield preload files reveal a distinct lack of Nvidia DLSS or Intel XeSS footprints, suggesting it will only support AMD FSR.

www.pcgamesn.com

AMD’s ”no comments” earlier this year in all these questions could have been two things, that they support every upscalers and the community freaked out over nothing, or that AMD is really blocking the other upscalers..

Well unless there’s a day 1 patch 59 change that, the preload doesn’t have DLSS / XeSS

FSR here we go

 

[SJRB]

I still can't believe Bethesda did this.

 

[Dcr1d3r]

Oh boy....and so it begins

 

[Hudo]

Everyone gets fucked. I can get behind that.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Stuart360]

Why would AMD block it, whats Starfield got to do with them (sorry if i'm missing some old news, havent really been following news).

Anyway modders will add it in for sure on PC. My 1080ti doesnt allows DLSS anyway.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

AMD: It's not the best choice, it's spacer's creative choice.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Dumb. At least allow XeSS which is also open to everyone.

 

[Buggy Loop]

I still can't believe Bethesda did this.

Microsoft needed the money! /s

Sony supports PC upscalers way better than Microsoft, what a bizarre world.

 

[Topher]

 

[Interfectum]

No DLSS... in 2023. wtf.

 

[alienator]

a creative descision guys

The same reason why NVidia blocked FSR2 and XeSS in Baldurs Gate. And Amid Evil Back labyrinth.

 

[damidu]

buying upscale exclusivity, because you cant compete on tech side.
disgusting shit from all parties involved. hope they get dragged through the mud real this time, because of the game's popularity

 

[Mister Wolf]

AMD on some bullshit. Fortunately PureDark will mod it in including DLSS3 like he did for Jedi Survivor.

 

[M1chl]

I don't understand why MS has to do some deals with some fucking nobody like AMD

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Pathetic. As someone with high end PC HW, sorry but unacceptable.

 

[Spyxos]

FSR 3 will be better than all other methods combined.

Spoiler: FSR

sarcasm off.

 

[GigaBowser]

 

[damidu]

they will be massively kneecapping game's financial potential because of gamepass/no playstation.
any extra money helps at that point i guess.

Why do you need DLSS if you have a high end PC?.
I think people forget that the whole point of these upscalers is to help people with mid and low end systems.

 

[Bojanglez]

I guess support is a case by case basis again

 

[damidu]

not really, dlss at quality gives pretty much native image quality with 20+ fps bonus.
why wouldnt i take it
and we are talking about bethesda game, you probably will need all the help you can get, unless you are on a 4090 or something.

 

[Knightime_X]

Didn't even know dlss was available for xbox sx

Baldur’s Gate 3 will get AMD FSR 2.0 to boost PC performance

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 uses upscaling technology to improve frame rate and smooth performance, and will deploy in Baldur's Gate 3 soon.

www.pcgamesn.com

Maybe has to do with the fact that the game is pushed a month ahead, Sven even said at one point he wanted the release version to have ray tracing.

But you’re pulling that out of your ass

 

[adamsapple]

*laughs in console*

 

[GrayChild]

Wasn't this already known? It's an AMD partnered title.

 

[Pelta88]

When I said "It's important to see hands on gameplay and impressions on Series X." certain shills laughed. I'm still hoping for the best for Starfield...

 

[Xcell Miguel]

AMD on some bullshit. Fortunately PureDark will mod it in including DLSS3 like he did for Jedi Survivor.

And get rich because it's a paid mod thanks to AMD ?
No way I pay for a mod, I won't use crappy FSR and hope the game is not CPU limited.

Why do you need DLSS if you have a high end PC?.

Because games can be CPU limited and the use of DLSS 3 Frame Generation can sort of bypass that.
Also, DLSS is a way more effective upscaler or even just a great AA solution.

 

[Interfectum]

*laughs in console*

* at 30 fps *

 

[Dreathlock]

Legitimately just canceled my steam preorder. Fuck them!!!!

 

[Senua]

*laughs in console*

*Laughs in 31fps*

Remember when you told me, that implementing these upscalers took a couple of hours.
So what is the excuse now?

 

[Luipadre]

What a shocker, especially after the AMD partnership

 

[Buggy Loop]

You need a form of temporal anti-aliasing. Raw native doesn’t cut it, even at 4K. So TAA? That’s what all “native” have had for years

DLSS is better than that 95% of the time with a big performance boost

If we go DLAA, DLSS but at native res without upscale, then it’s not even a question, it’s the best image quality you can have.

 

[Snake29]

This will already indicate that there will be performance issues with this game, because FSR is shit, and there is no DLSS so people need to finetune their settings which could lead in disappointing results.

I totally forgot that they had exclusive AMD tech for Starfield. A massive blow and should effect the review scores imo.

 

[violence]

That’s business for you. You accept AMD money, you gotta do what they say. I’m sure you will be able to mod it in.

I paid for the the mod to use on Jedi Survivor. Made for an exquisite experience.

Ask Larian

I ain’t your reporter

You have no proof about blocking FSR on BG3 winjer, I’m a bit disappointed to see that comment from you

Surely there’s a ton of members of the cult who would love to get the story that Nvidia blocked FSR, they must be asking devs every release. By this point we should have had that story for all to see. Where is it?

Maybe Larian having the console versions later than PC release means they just pushed FSR for that time? I’m speculating, not making claims as if they are proven like you just did with Nvidia blocking upscalers in BG3

 

[//DEVIL//]

2 days. And the FSR will be replaced by the community with DLSS.

Not worried.

 

[M1chl]

How much do you think AMD is able to give, I don't think its that much, to offset what you've said

 

[winjer]

Come on. If this thing with Baldur's Gate happened in reverse, you would be up in arms. The same way you are in regards to Starfield.
You have proved with plenty of examples that implementing these upscalers is easy and fast. You said many times on this forum, that there is no excuse.
But now you dismiss it as if nothing happened, just because it does not affect you.

Besides, PureDark has already confirmed he will mod DLSS into Starfield.
AMD has not blocked the DLSS mod. Unlike NVidia, which has blocked the FSR2 mod in several games, including older ones.

It wasn't there day 1. Also, there's a possibility that other upscaling could be patched in if the studio wants to do it.

Definitely glad I got the Steam version.

 

[Rossco EZ]

how does that work i just switched to nvidia from an AMD card. do you just edit the game files or something? or download?

 

[DAHGAMING]

30fps, blur fest, 20yrs in the making pile of space shit on route.

 

[damidu]

How much do you think AMD is able to give, I don't think its that much, to offset what you've said

i dont think either, but what they have to lose its free money, amd probably was doing these shit deals, under the radar for some time.
it only came to surface among public recently. probably long after this deal was signed.
today ms might have been more vary of public backlash for doing it i guess.

Nvidia is not blocking Larian from implementing FSR in BG3.
AMD is blocking Bethesda from implementing DLSS in Starfield.

Completely different situations.

If Starfield devs would say that DLSS is coming soon? Nope, I wouldn’t give a shit. I’m probably not even installing it for at least a month after release because of bugs and I’m deep into BG3 anyway
