Starfield's partnership with AMD did not go over well with PC gamers. About 75% of Steam users have an Nvidia graphics card, and the expectation has been that Bethesda's deal with AMD will hold it back from including Nvidia-specific features in Starfield, particularly support for its DLSS upscaling tech, which can dramatically increase frame rates.
In a roundabout way, AMD has now confirmed that Starfield doesn't support DLSS, but also says its partnership with Bethesda doesn't require the studio to reject Nvidia's tech. Speaking to The Verge, AMD gaming head Frank Azor said that AMD asks partnered developers to "prioritize" AMD's own upscaling tech, called FSR, but doesn't demand exclusivity.
