| Jizz_Beard_thePirate said: The point is that when a game is Radeon sponsored and this isn't just me ranting, this view is shared by many tech journalists out there is the fact that AMD doesn't want to play nice with others. If we look at various Nvidia sponsored titles, the real difference really stems from when Ray Tracing is involved but as we saw with Intel launching their cards and AMD launching RDNA 3, Ray Tracing isn't Nvidia gimping their competitors but rather just a showing of the Ray Tracing capabilities of each GPU. Nvidia sponsored titles also has a trend of allowing all upscaling methods and not "missing" certain ones. There are some exceptions but there is a pretty big gap between the sponsorships. The reason is Nvidia has an open source upscaling integration api called Streamline which Intel is part of hence why we typically see XeSS integration and it also allows FSR to be easily implemented too. AMD on the other hand refused to be part of it. So imo, AMD is very much acting like how EGS acted against Steam where Steam has all these nice features that people like such as Family Sharing, Remote Play and such. But instead of competing in the feature set, EGS would rather have the barebones feature set and bribe developers to be EGS exclusive. Cause if I want to play Starfield at 90fps on my 4090, my choices are: a) Use FSR that makes my game look terrible It's annoying because generally when it's an Nvidia sponsored title, Nvidia users can have their DLSS, AMD users can have their FSR and Intel can have their XeSS. But with AMD sponsored titles where oh it's just Raster or light Ray Tracing and have to use FSR. And sometimes after 4 months, there is an official DLSS update. |
I've been saying this for years now, but like, these companies, even on PC need to really fucking stop with exclusivity contracts for any game out there.
yes I'm aware it's a good use for promotion of said tech and can really give customers a view of what we can see/play/expect over the coming years, but does it really have to be a sponsored/exclusive deal?.
All I've been seeing throughout history, is that someone takes an exclusive deal, the other side gets fucked over because it didn't get the deal first, or hell, lose marketshare.
Not saying AMD is in the right here, but like, even as a 1080ti owner I fucking hate when I see Nvidia or AMD "sponsored" whenever I launch a game and either of those show up. Like whenever I play Deus Ex HR, I'm reminded about AMD, and when I boot up Cyberpunk, I'm reminded I don't have fucking DLSS, and all that.
Like with EGS, I don't like exclusivity wars being waged on an open platform, and I don't like seeing either AMD/Nvidia doing the same as well. All it does is get us nettled and has us picking on one side, while the other does something bad and we're still not done talking the other side to death (like how we're all going at AMD for now, but when is Nvidia getting their turn?).
Like I know at the end of the day we'll still get the better experience on PC, but it's still willingly being fractured by these publishers and hardware corpos, to the point where you only have 1, maybe 1 and a half of a choice of hw to roll with to get a decent experience across the board (which at this time of typing is generally going to Nvidia), instead of us all being able to roll AMD/AMD, or Intel/Intel, Nvidia+Intel+AMD, and getting a decent experience across all those match-ups.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
