Gurning for the sake of gurning at this point...

Good to see AMD confirming they blocked nowt.

Nothing said bar excuses about all the titles that don't have FSR, BG3 NV sponsored launches with FSR1 FFS, that's hilarious but no meltdowns, nobodys saying the game's garbage/looks garbage/not buying because they wouldn't use FSR2.1.

Every title going forward that doesn't launch with DLSS3 is now garbage, that's how spoilt some of my fellow NV users are getting.

We are getting fleeced rotten by NV for software premiums and lock outs but you can't afford/refuse to pay a fiver because of principles, embarrassing.

IMO AMD blocked dlss as it has in most of their sponsored games. As for Bethesda, their last two games before starfield feature dlss and fsr, so looks dodgy that they drop it for their biggest release this year.

Nvidia stole your shaders and replaced them with a poor quality alternative and then made you pay for the privilege.

I can hear the outrage from the 1080/1080ti owners about how Bethesda and AMD have denied them the right to use DLSS and are forcing them to use FSR. It is outrageous that a game has been released with an upscaling method included that they can actually use, OUTRAGEOUS!!

On the other hand, Nvidia leaking this story to a sycophantic media worked out really well to get the outrage out there!

The same media who proclaim to be on the consumers side, are quite willing to be played as useful fools by a $trillion corporation's PR department!
 
Useful idiots, or useful fools as you put it don't know they are being played, they are usually people who narcissistically go with what they perceive as the good ideologically correct narrative in the hope of being rewarded for it.

It usually applies to very woke people, the term "useful idiots" was coined by Yuri Bezmenov. its a derogatory term used by the KGB to describe very left wing socialist westerners, usually the American intellectual class whom they indirectly recruited to unwittingly spread what today we might call "Woke Culture" to weaken the target nations sense of nationality and belief in those charged with securing the nation, police, military ecte.... Defund the police sort of stuff and the classic divide and conquer, BLM, toxic masculinity, subconscious bias where you have a bias and if you deny you have a bias your bias is an even worse kind of bias.

Yuri Bezmenov defected from the KGB to Cannada in the 1970's, during the 1980's he was writing books and touring universities warning about these long term KGB tactics and explaining the sort of things to look out for, predictions which turned out to be remarkably similar to the sort very left wing cultures gaining a lot of power these days.

Anyway.... the term Useful Idiot can apply to anyone who relies on a perceived greater power as a guide on what or how to think and act, people who are insecure, naive and frankly a bit stupid but be in a position of influence themselves so they can be manipulated and used to further ones own agenda.

Hmm, john has inside info on AMD shenanigans.


Also, this isn't exactly the first time tech has been removed after amd sponsorship was announced e.g.

Boundary will no longer feature Ray Tracing, ditches DLSS over FSR & XeSS​



Funny timing eh but nah, nothing to see here, move along


At the end of the day, nvidia does it, intel does it, amd also does it, it's nothing new. People need to wake up and realise that amd are not white knights.......

It really isn't an issue thanks to the modding scene so wouldn't worry from any side.

If only amd would focus on getting fsr 2 in more console games, it might actually become the defacto standard!

Exactly. But I feel no matter what they did at this point people would excuse it. Tribal stuff I guess.
