AMD is said to be blocking Nvidia’s DLSS 3 technology. We’ll tell you why Starfield could also appear without the upscaling technique.

- AMD is said to have blocked DLSS 3 support for various games.
- Nvidia, on the other hand, has allowed AMD’s equivalent.
- There is a Starfield cooperation with AMD and the title could therefore be released without DLSS 3.
AMD currently has a cooperation with Microsoft, so you can buy Starfield in a bundle with Ryzen processors. But some players see this partnership critically.
As Hardware Unboxed reports on YouTube, AMD apparently systematically blocks DLSS 3, a new technology from Nvidia. As the YouTuber shows with two tables, AMD-supported games such as Resident Evil 4 or Star Wars Jedi: Survivor should only have FSR, but not DLSS 3.
On the other hand, games supported by Nvidia, such as Diablo 4 or Redfall, are usually said to support both FSR and DLSS 3. FSR is AMD’s upscaling technology, which is equivalent to DLSS 3.
No DLSS 3 for Starfield?
Since AMD apparently has a cooperation with Microsoft for Starfield, it is conceivable that the new title only supports FSR and players with Nvidia graphics cards will get nothing.

Nvidia, AMD and Intel also offer graphics cards, but the prices can be a deterrent. We give tips on how to save money when buying.
However, you will find out whether this is actually the case at the latest when Starfield is released. The title will be released on September 6th for PC and Xbox Series X/S. For more upcoming games, check out our game release list.
