May not support DLSS or XeSS at launch according to some folks who have dug through the pre-load files. link

I thought it wasnt getting it at all because its an "AMD Title"

Maybe, but I suspect it'll get it in an early patch. All this Nvidia/AMD Title stuff feels like those timed-exclusive deals for consoles.
