In recent days things have gotten quite messy around Starfield for PC, since as we announced, from Bethesda they have reached an agreement with AMD so that it works especially well with American brand graphics cards and processors. that has pissed off, and a lot, to those who have an NVIDIA or Intel model. Is it possible that things get back on track?
Summarizing a lot, what is going to happen with Starfield on PC is that the game will come standard with these new performance-enhancing technologies through scaling options such as FSR (1 and 2) and that allows us to obtain a series of extra frames per second without requiring more work from the processor. Since all the work falls on the graph itself. So how are things now?
bethesda not moving
It must be said that for now Todd Howard’s have not moved from the message they transmitted the other day: Starfield It will especially squeeze AMD technologies in what has to do with its graphics and processor models, so the community, as expected, has begun to look elsewhere. Where? Well, to what is commonly known by the name of modder.
This figure is nothing more than some handymen that are scattered around the world that, at least in the case of the PC, dare to touch the game code itself to implement functions that not even the developers have taken into account, as is the case of NVIDIA’s DLSS (3). So said and done: those who are going to play with Starfield on a computer with an Intel processor or a GeForce, for example, they have nothing to worry about.
Starfield & DLSS fans, don’t worry. Pure Dark is on the case. Says they’ll mod in DLSS3 in the first 5 day early release. Whoa! https://t.co/zQpatsf2R1

The name of that volunteer who is going to pick up the flag of the famous NVIDIA DLSS is called PureDark and, although at first on the day of Starfield’s launch we do not have that mode already prepared, the thing is not going to take too long. Specifically, they promise a solution within the first five days after it is put up for sale. So everyone calm down.
AMD and Xbox, hand in hand
This Bethesda agreement with AMD is not surprising because the Santa Clara-based company is already a supplier of graphics components and processors for the new Xbox Series X | S so at the same time that they close that agreement within the PC market, they take the opportunity to launch a much more optimized version on Microsoft consoles. And since the game is exclusive and will not have adaptations to PS5…
The fact is that in the last week there are many users who have not accepted this news well about a substantial improvement in the performance of Starfield with a specific series of hardware components, something that we hope will not become a habit because it would open a war that on PC has never been characterized as being particularly bloody: NVIDIA and AMD have coexisted without too many problems, to create them now by stealing functions from a part of that community gamer. Don’t you think?
