Title: Mod Enables Nvidia’s DLSS Upscaling in Starfield, Replacing AMD’s FSR2
In a significant development for PC gamers, a new mod named “Starfield Upscaler” has been released, adding compatibility for Nvidia’s highly acclaimed Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) upscaling technology to the PC version of Starfield. The game, developed by Bethesda, initially supported only AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR2) technology.
FSR2, specifically designed for certain AMD graphics cards, allows players to enhance their gaming experience by upscaling the resolution in real-time, thus optimizing performance. However, the introduction of Starfield Upscaler opens the door for Nvidia users to benefit from DLSS. Similarly, Intel Arc graphics card users can also take advantage of the mod by enabling XeSS upscaling.
This mod revolutionizes the gaming experience by replacing FSR2 with DLSS or XeSS, depending on the user’s graphics card. Players can now enjoy the advanced upscaling technology regardless of their preferred hardware brand. The performance gains achieved through DLSS or XeSS vary according to each player’s individual setup, including whether they are GPU or CPU limited.
Interestingly, this exclusive launch partnership for FSR2 between AMD and Bethesda suggests a reason for its initial absence in Starfield. As AMD strengthened its ties with Bethesda, FSR2 emerged as the exclusive technological offering. Nonetheless, AMD’s gaming chief has hinted that this exclusivity may not be permanent. In a recent statement, he expressed willingness to support DLSS if Bethesda decides to integrate it into Starfield in the future.
With DLSS being hailed as a game-changing feature, Nvidia users can now relish an enhanced visual experience in Starfield, courtesy of the Starfield Upscaler mod. For now, it remains to be seen how this mod will impact the overall gaming community, as users on both sides of the AMD vs. Nvidia debate eagerly await further updates on FSR2 and DLSS integration in the highly anticipated interstellar game.
As more gamers experiment with the mod and share their experiences online, The Puck Drop remains committed to bringing you the latest updates on the ongoing competition between DLSS and FSR2, and the impact these technologies will have on the Starfield gaming experience. Stay tuned for more news and insights as we continue to dive into the universe of gaming.
