Starfield finally getting much-requested Nvidia DLSS support on PC next week
Bethesda has announced it'll finally be introducing a number of much-requested graphics features to Starfield on PC nex…
A patch?! A big one this time?
I'm looking forward to return to it.. As soon as im done with Alan Wake, AC Mirage, BG3, Cities Skylines 2, and Cyberpunk 2077 PL. Jeez, what a few great gaming months it has been.
That's exactly what this game was missing. Right?
I will never, ever get the obsession with DLSS. It runs on a single manufacturer's cards, and it only serves to increase framerates -- the need for which generally points to other issues with any game.
It is kind of like "true motion" effects on TVs ten years ago. Adding frames for frames' sake.
For some DLSS can mean the difference between an okay experience or a refund. It's a band-aid you put on a badly optimised game, but it works.
Adding frames becomes relevant when you're starting to go below 60 or 30 fps, depending on your taste. And while I don't enjoy it only working on Nvidia cards either, they still have a quasi-monopoly on the GPU market, so I'm glad they're still thinking up new things instead of stagnating.
I use it mainly for AA since it gets rid of flickering on things like fences or trees quite well. Especially in games that have otherwise shit AA (I dearly miss the DLSS option in Cities Skylines II which has atrocious AA that flickers a lot).
People are mocking this change, but DLSS can be truly transformative - it looks significantly more stable and visually pleasing than FSR or God forbid the built in temporal AA used in these engines.
Nowadays I'd honestly enable DLSS even if I didn't need any extra performance boost.
Least it'll have 32x9 support for when I pick it up on sale down the track, that's nice.
These graphically intensive games need to launch with DLSS/FSR parity, adding it in later isn't great for the end user
Did my comment get deleted or something?
Too late - Starfield was already a huge disappointment and adding DLSS isn't enough to bring people back LMFAO
