I've more or less decided that I'll play on my PS5 for the time being until things improve on the PC side. As much I would prefer to use my 3090, when the PS5 version actually runs better, there's just no reason for me to play on my PC.
I was so tempted to buy the premium edition to play this early but decided to wait.
Holy shit at the meltdowns in here! Already trying to shift blame of the games poor performance to AMD instead of where it belongs, Bethesda.
Ask to df?
Microsoft.
So we are really living in a bizaarro world where a youtbue channel knows more than a big tech company and some of the best devs in the biz.well, we have seen in the past that DF actually knew more about games than their developers.
John just talked about a case in a recent DF direct where he got an early version of a game to look at and had to fix the common Unity engine physics interpolation issue to get a steady camera motion, because the developers didn't notice the issue themselves.
the developers of Dead Space remake didn't notice that the image quality on PS5 was horrible due to VRS, neither did they notice that turning VRS off basically makes no performance difference.
multiple developers during last gen forgot to turn on anisotropic texture filtering on PS4, because they didn't notice the textures looking blurry while testing it.
people thought it was an API issue on PS4, but in reality it was usually just the people on the Xbox ports of some fames noticing it missing and enabling it, while the PS4 guys just didn't.
it was such a prevalent issue in the beginning tho that people really thought the PS4 can't do texture filtering properly
but nah, the devs just forgot lol.
so never expect that the publishers or the developers of a game actually know what is best, or notice when they're making mistakes. be that on a technical side, a design issue, or just player expectations.
why were you annoyed by completely optional features? "OH NO! that setting in that game there! it drops my framerate! how dare they!"
Are you for real?
If you've been playing on PC long enough, you should know that there is no "optional feature"
I'm playing on PC to get the best possible graphics & experience
PC has always been about enthusiasts.
Ironically, it will probably run well on mid range NVIDIA cards as well.
I still use a 980ti with 1080p monitor. I’m part of the problem with pc gaming. Ha!
It's been like this for a while, hence why some selected games doesn't run as well on competing hardware. It's more visible now partly because the technology gap in some respect is somewhat larger, and people are getting more technically aware.
Lame. I thought all the major releases would offer it all. Like when they have Xbox and PlayStation control schemes.
Anyway, AMD is playing a dangerous game here long term, if they puff their chest for FSR, Nvidia could go full « evil Nvidia » in coming years with the tsunami of AI driven features to the point where path tracing is standard but enhanced with their upcoming NRC - Neural Radiance Caching or neural volume denoising, it could get quite ugly for competition. With the tsunami of ray tracing games / path tracing enabled games with the UE5 engine, you won’t be able to say « I don’t care for RT » anymore, the engine will inherently have RT and it’s a question of time before devs ditch the previous rasterization labor intensive method.
While Nvidia bothered to make an open source package to include all upscaling solutions to make it easier for devs, why do you spite them. You let Intel enter that package with Nvidia so it also means that the competitor you should worry most about (intel) will have exposure while you’re not? Doesn’t make a goddamn sense. Their reason is shaky too, « what’s best for gamers » is some top tier bullshit.
Anyway
Intel has come out of nowhere to have a superior RT hardware over AMD on a clock for clock basis, plus yes they have XeSS which is already as good as or better than FSR. Their main issue is simply immaturity of drivers and that has been getting better day by day while AMD drivers always stay the same.
XeSS is also using AI/ML, same as DLSS. This means it will quickly become as superior to FSR as DLSS is, since FSR is simply an algorithmically calculated scaler and doesn't use any deep learning or inference. DLSS is currently the best because it's been getting trained longer but the bulk of the work is already done, so XeSS will catch up over time simply because there's more to gain early in the training than later.
Going by how the industry is today I guarantee that DF have better knowledge than most devs about what the PC community desire when it comes to performance and gfx features.
PC gamers arent all that different from console gamers. No one complained about checkerboard upscaling, they definitely wont care about the differences with other upscaling techs.
Can nobody mod DLSS in or something
They're already on it
HeisenbergFX4
but it's a paid mod (you have to be a Patron to get his DLSS mods), this guy makes money thanks to AMD...
I wont pay for it either but my money would be someone will do it, at least I am hoping anyhow
I won't pay a mod for a feature that should be free.
For me it is easier to believe that devs are lazy and don't care.
Other problem is that mod is not perfect, it's not worth a real implementation from devs...
Where the fuck did I mention Nivida or AMD in my post. Are you that scripted?
They better include Glide support.
I agree, this is why nvidia hasnt been able to innovate anything in the past 2 decades because of their bad business behaviours.
