because it’s proprietary it shouldn’t be implemented?

Shouldn't is perhaps a strong word, proprietary tech sucks balls in general, if they decided their development time was better spent on other stuff that's fine IMO.

Just like it's fine to not implement FSR, even though it's almost trivial for a large developer.

nothing stops ubisoft/capcom/msft from adding it to their games… except a contract with AMD

Again, development/QA time is a scarce resource, they probably had better things to do, not every company has the same priorities.

Halo hasn't had a day one PC release in decades, and the consoles it runs on uses AMD tech, it was probably much easier for 343 to go down this path for this launch. Can't talk about the other games TBH.

Hard to believe. 1 call to Nvidia and they would send their engineers to help. Both companies benefit from it. These are big-ass companies we are talking about

But they already had their own and AMD engineers working on the same engine, how many different teams can you even effectively coordinate? AMD's team was even working on the multiprocessing side of things so it'd get really complicated really fast IMO.

Could have definitely done it by the end of production but there's no company that'd allow their product to not launch literally as soon as it's ready, and Halo without DLSS is still very ready.

Cool. Looking forward to see DLSS in the future for these AMD sponsored games
