Many will not like this article but we had to do it, enough time has passed and we have not heard anything from AMD and if of NVIDIA with exclusive sponsorship in video games. Now, the Hardware Unboxed team (a medium that we don’t like because of its fanaticism towards AMD and lack of neutrality) has carried out an exhaustive analysis of the controversy that has recently arisen in relation to the sponsorship of games by AMD and the supposed limitation that these agreements would imply for the implementation of DLSS in the affected games. In response to all this let’s remember that a developer of NixxesHe said there’s no reason not to implement DLSS, FSR, or XeSS if you integrate one of them first, they’re very easy to implement.
In the video the people of Hardware Unboxed contact AMD directly for clarification on this situation, the first is whether the sponsorship agreement involves blocking or restricting the implementation of its competitors’ technologies, such as DLSS; and second, if they wanted to provide more clarity on their previous statements.
AMD is blocking the rest
AMD’s response was: “We still don’t know what to answer” despite having had more than enough time to come to a conclusion. It is surprising that such a direct question can generate so much uncertainty and that the answer is so simple, being a simple yes or no.
Given this situation, the conclusion is simple, AMD is blocking the implementation of DLSS through these sponsorship agreements, which is not beneficial to anyone.
AMD’s position is especially contradictory, since the company has stated on multiple occasions that FSR is an open technology and for everyone. However, at the same time, it is forcing its implementation through sponsorship agreements that exclude other competing technologies, thus limiting user choice. Maintaining this uncertainty is not favorable for AMD.
