    The Nvidia issue might be more Nvidia’s fault. All three major GPU companies (including Intel now) work with major publishers on making games work well with their products. This time around, though, Nvidia has been focused on AI workloads in the datacenter–this is why their stock has been skyrocketing while their gaming cards lower than a 4080 (i.e., the cards people can actually afford) have been a joke. Nvidia didn’t work much with Bethesda on this one, and now we see the result.

    Nvidia is destroying what’s left of their reputation with gamers to get on the AI hype train.

      Not entirely true.

      Starfield was amd exclusive, so Intel didn’t get the game (or support it) until early access.

      Nvidia probably didn’t get as much time to optimize the game or work with Bethesda as they normally would.

        Is there a source to this? Arguably the game is an AMD exclusive, which is a deal Beth/MS made, so it sounds like maybe they werent the inclusive ones in that relationship.
