Support NeoGAF

[Snake29]

I love that hey is willing to do this, but people should not praise it at all. It shows that Bethesda just did a bad job going with AMD in this. I’m curious about Starfield, but im not gonna pay a modder for the shitty practice from Bethesda and AMD.

 

[SJRB]

Okay so Bethesda won't add DLSS because AMD gave them money, but are okay with a modder adding DLSS to their game who sells said mod for money?

How is any of this based? This is retarded as fuck.

 

[Skifi28]

As usual, modders doing what Bethesdon't.

 

[Tommi84]

That's one way of never having any other deal with AMD.

Good job!

PS. Yes, this is shady AF.
PSS. Yes, having a deal with AMD and allowing this in the first place is shady AF, too

 

[damidu]

lol this guy will make bank, how much do they usually ask for these mods

also lol at fanboys trying to spin this as a save for bethesda. this is at best, them fucking over amd, on top players.
now i have to buy a graphic setting as my first dlc of the game. lucky me

It's almost like it's a rumor that's been denied already.

 

[willothedog]

Yeah, I'm sure poor little microsoft could barely scrap a couple of bucks to finish the game if it wasn't for some AMD sponsorship...

Fucking seriously lol...

Well, they do make their console APUs (AMD) so who knows what deal was struck...

 

[Fuz]

Todd, you're a genius.

Which part?

 

[MMaRsu]

This is not true. The guy doesnt have it.

 

[MMaRsu]

Which part?

The guy said he doesnt have it

 

[LordCBH]

Would it be a Bugthesda game if kidders didn’t have to come in and fix it?

 

[Katatonic]

So MS fucks the consumer by making the deal with AMD then fucks AMD by purposely sending an early copy of the game to a modder so he/she can add DLSS.

Yeah real class act.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Any word on if he’ll also mod in XESS or does he just do DLSS?

 

[Roni]

I mean, I'm rocking a 6950, but I'm in the middle of another build with a 4090, but I agree.

Nevermind fuck AMD, fuck Bethesda and MS for even excepting such a deal. I'm sure my 6950 build will run the game just fine, everything ultra, but still...I hate the feeling of knowing getting a 4090 build up and running will have features missing based on some dumbass deal with AMD.

Keep in mind, I'm sure those with 4090s and shit will be just fine, still feel such deals should really be happening in the hardware space like this.

That's a lot of bad feelings... You sure that's not having an impact on your health?

 

[Portugeezer]

That modder makes DLSS mods which cost money, just so you know. He doesn't do it for free.

Everything is free on PC.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Any word on if he’ll also mod in XESS or does he just do DLSS?

Even AMD owners want FSR alternative

 

[mitch1971]

I'm sure he's happy with his $70 reward and countless hours of inevitable work

If he enjoys his work that much is it really work?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Even AMD owners want FSR alternative

Absolutely. If the results are better, give it to me.

 

[SlimySnake]

These PC modders have turned into the cunts they despise. The Star Wars dlss mod cost like $10 and horizon zero Dawn mods to remove fog and extend the draw distance we’re tied to patreons. Gtfo.

 

[StereoVsn]

This is ridiculous. Basically Bethesda is releasing paid performance DLC except they don't have to do any work. JFC.

 

[StereoVsn]

Well, they do make their console APUs (AMD) so who knows what deal was struck...

There is 0 chance MS didn't have resources or couldn't have gotten AMD help anyways. This is ridiculous. And watch 0 review outfits mention this shit.

 

[demented waffle]

May this mod be filled with bugs. The people buying this game and downloading this mod are part of the problem.

 

[Trogdor1123]

great, now patch fallout 4 for next gen

 

[damidu]

i have my issues with df but they are pretty much only hope for these type of pushback

 

[ahtlas7]

Amd right now

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Even XeSS is better than FSR.

FSR isn't terrible though. I have used it to see, it's just the least good of the 3.

 

[TheKratos]

All I can say is, is fuck AMD.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Do you think you need DLSS with a 4090 to run a game made to run on the Series S?

You need it and/or Frame Generation to run at 120fps with maxed setting.

 

[chlorate]

It’s 2023 and we now have paid mods on top of our microtransactions.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

120 fps with framegen ISN'T 120 fps. It doesn't have the benefits of input lag and it does produce some visual artifacts.

However, it is a nice feature, to help smooth out the motion. It basically does motion interpolation at the GPU level.

Based on how piss poor PC ports have been this year, I expect the performance to suck ass.

I am also expecting to be stuck at 60 fps max since Gamebryo engine games lock at 60.

But who knows? Maybe this will be THE game that MS finally has a solid launch. Releases relatively bug free with minor performance issues.

I wont be playing it on my XSX console because....fuck 30 fps.

It is 120hz in motion on my display. Once I hit a framerate between 60-90fps native, conversations about input lag become pointless. I'm not playing Counter Strike. The people who downplay Frame Generation are people who do not have access to it. Sour grapes.

[diffusionx]

Based on the following post taken from r/Starfield:

This seems intentional to avoid voiding the agreement with AMD

I doubt AMD will pursue this but considering that everyone knows why they would send that guy a key so I would argue they are violating the agreement.

I have a 4090. I do have access to it and it can be quirky at times. It broke the Witcher 3 next gen.

Frame Generation in my experience is best used as a finishing touch when you can already achieve 60fps+.

Yeah, it’s a finishing touch. I’d love to see it in conjunction with ULMB2

Baldurs Gate 3 could use it in those CPU heavy areas like the city. The Frame Generation mod served me well in Jedi Survivor. The game is damn near unplayable with raytracing without it. Very CPU limited in scenes.

 

[The Cockatrice]

How dare he make money from his own work?

By that stupid logic every mod should be paid. Lemme know how that would work out.

 

[Fbh]

It's like the old saying
"If it ain't fixed, don't fix it because the community will".
Or something like that

 

[MMaRsu]

Can we close this thread? The guy in question doesnt have a copy.

 

[MMaRsu]

What problem?

 

[X-Wing]

It's fake news apparently:



The modder himself has said it.

 

[geary]

What? Drama and concern based on rumors from twitter? This cant be right!

 

[Ar¢tos]

*sigh*
Defending the right of someone charging for their work doesn't mean every mod should be paid. It's up to mod creator to decide if he wants to charge or not for it.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

The only thing I wonder about all this let it be true or false, are the legal implications if they really provided a copy for this specific situation.

By charging for a mod, you're setting up a precedent, not a good one. Defend it all you like, still scummy. I'd gladly donate money to someone doing fine work for free like the people that made reshade or flawless widescreen or the thousands of other modders that fixed Bethesda's games.
