It's not so straightforward as you make it seem. There is at least one example of a developer accepting an AMD partnership and then removing DLSS from a functional game.I'm with AMD on this one. Unless WTFtech can show proof that a game developer has been prevented from implementing DLSS in their game due to a legally binding contract with AMD, they are hyper speculating just for extra clicks, like they usually do.
WTFtech's insinuation that nGreedia gamers are getting robbed of the opportunity to use DLSS in AMD sponsored games seems laughable. As AMD pointed out, DLSS has the lion's share of the market.
Let's say AMD did have a DLSS exclusion clause in their game sponsorship contract. That is more the game developer's fault for accepting it than AMD's fault in wanting to promote their technology. Clearly, the game developer WANTS whatever incentives AMD is providing, be it financial support or access to their graphics engineers/driver teams or even free hardware.
Lay the hate on the game developer for selling themselves out. They would do the same to AMD if Jensen offered them a better deal.
It isn't really, provided you already use some form of upscaling like FSR, adding DLSS on top is straightforward.Since FSR works on both nvidia and AMD you could argue, that implementing DLSS is extra work/cost with little return.

Not according to the Boundary developers. They implemented both FSR and XeSS but couldn't muster the resources for doing RTX and DLSS. It could be simply that they asked Nvidia for technical support, were disappointed with their poor support and response and decided to ditch Nvidia technologies out of spite.It isn't really, provided you already use some form of upscaling like FSR, adding DLSS on top is straightforward.
Why not offer your services for free?It isn't really, provided you already use some form of upscaling like FSR, adding DLSS on top is straightforward.
You're just reinforcing his argument. The developer choose this, unless you're insinuating some true Mafia tactics from AMD. Want to live a long life?It's not so straightforward as you make it seem.

Boundary will no longer feature Ray Tracing, ditches DLSS over FSR & XeSS
Even though Surgical Scalpels showcased some really GPU-heavy RT effects for Boundary, the game will not feature any of them at launch.www.dsogaming.com
Except.. They did implement DLSS before launch (it and RT were both in early access), as per the discord convo with the developer below.Not according to the Boundary developers.

OK, maybe they tried to blackmail Nvidia to get something in return for being a DLSS technology showcase. Still don't see how it could be AMD's fault. Maybe all they wanted was a high end Nvidia card for free and Jensen was like, "Nah. We don't run a charity."But sure let's pretend DLSS and by extension Nvidia are at fault here...
Of course it's the sponsor with his aggressive marketing, who else?But sure let's pretend DLSS and by extension Nvidia are at fault here...
https://wccftech.com/boundary-ea-la...al-of-dlss-and-rtx-in-favor-of-fsr2-and-xess/Boundary originally made headlines for its cutting-edge ray tracing and DLSS support. For the early access launch, which ray-traced effects are you going to include in the game?
Unfortunately, we need to remove Ray Tracing and DLSS from the EA version. The main reason is that our development resources cannot support multiple technical features, especially pure technical features, which means that this feature will not bring substantial improvements to gameplay. Therefore, we lowered the priority of this feature over the past year. After struggling for a long time, we finally decided to drop it from the launch version. This decision was not easy, as we are a team of technology-driven game developers, especially since we spent a lot of time doing ray tracing benchmarks for Boundary.
Of course the sponsor's aggressive marketing, who else is to blame?

“Both technologies (Intel XeSS and AMD FSR 2.0) will be supported in the game. And specific thanks to AMD, who very much provided us with great technical and resource support to make sure FSR 2 performs extremely well in Boundary. AMD has been a wonderful partner these last few months.”
Isn't there what @igor_kavinski just said? That isIs it that hard to read between the lines?
It's Nvidia, who very much didn't provide us with great technical and resource support to make sure RT + DLSS performs extremely well in Boundary
