It would seem that CD Projekt Red isn't quite done with updates for Cyberpunk 2077. A PC-only patch is now rolling out across Steam, GOG, Epic, etc, bringing new graphics features, as well as stability and visual fixes.  The patch is for both the base version of the game, and …

The introduction of DLSS by Nvidia sparked the beginning of a new technical frontier on PC, with upscaling technology becoming commonplace in most major titles. In the years since, we’ve seen multiple different companies adopt similar technologies such as AMD’s FSR and Intel’s XESS. According to the tech specialists at …

The DirectSR API has been integrated into the Agility Software Development Kit 1.714.0-preview, allowing developers to integrate various Super Resolution technologies into their games more easily. By consolidating technologies such as FSR, DLSS, and XeSS, DirectSR provides developers with a streamlined solution for implementation. GPU hardware providers have been at …

The list of games supporting Intel XeSS keeps growing, with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Remnant II, and Horizon Forbidden West being the latest titles to support Intel's upscaling technology. Previously, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora only supported Nvidia DLSS 2 and AMD FSR 3. However, with Intel XeSS, it's positioning itself …

Intel recently released an upgraded version of its XeSS upscaler, version 1.3. This version offers improved performance over the previous version, including changing the resolution scaling for the upscaling profiles and introducing new ones. While these profiles share the same title, Intel compares them with varying scaling, resulting in better …

Currently, developers have to implement DLSS, FSR and XeSS separately, a situation that can sometimes lead to one of the three major GPU upscalers being left out of a game. Soon, Microsoft will simplify the process with DirectSR, allowing developers to easily enable multiple upscaling technologies from multiple vendors for broader support.

Intel has recently unveiled a new technology designed to improve picture quality and performance, much like what DLSS and FSR do. Based on frame extrapolation, the framework is described in a research paper presented at the SIGGRAPH Asia 2023 event in Sydney. The paper (via Wccftech) named “ExtraSS: A Framework …

Intel Arrow Lake is still far from release, but as is common with most upcoming CPU architecture, we're getting more and more information about it through leaks. The latest one refers to its integrated graphics, which look like an enhanced version of the Xe-LPG that will debut with the Meteor …

At Intel Innovation last month, we had the chance to see an Intel Meteor Lake iGPU running Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Now in a more recent demo, Intel has showcased its new iGPU running a more recent and demanding game - Dying Light 2. 

Last week when Ubisoft unveiled the PC system requirements and feature set for Assassin's Creed Mirage, the studio only revealed support for Intel's XeSS upscaling method, leaving out DLSS and FSR, which are often preferred by Nvidia and AMD GPU users respectively. Ubisoft has now cleared things up, confirming that …

Intel has announced a significant milestone in the adoption of its XeSS upscaling technology, revealing that it is now available in more than 50 titles. According to Intel, there are currently 64 games and applications that either support XeSS or are expected to support it once the software is released. …

Up to this point, we assumed that Nvidia's Frame Generation technology would only work in conjunction with native resolutions or in conjunction with DLSS 3. However, recent findings suggest otherwise, as the frame generation tech also works with AMD FSR 2 and Intel XeSS. According to Igor'sLAB, Frame Generation can …

Intel XeSS is finally here, and we already have two games supporting it. The first two titles to support Intel's upscaling technique are Death Stranding and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. There are even measurements of the latter running on the different XeSS modes using a Radeon RX 6800 XT. …

While Intel announced XeSS earlier this year, as well as a list of games planning to support it, we've yet to see it in action. Now as Intel continues to ramp up to its Arc A770 and A750 graphics card launch, the company has begun talking up XeSS once again, …

Last year, IO Interactive confirmed plans to bring new graphical features to Hitman 3 on PC, but we've had no further updates since. That changed this week, with IO confirming that ray tracing, and support for FSR, DLSS and XeSS are all on the way.  For starters, Hitman 3 will …

Contrary to the claim from Dolmen's developers, Intel XeSS won't be available in the game at launch, meaning XeSS won't release on May 20th after all. Instead, the new upscaling tech will debut this summer, with no specific date announced yet. It wasn't long ago that Dolmen's studio stated that …

Like AMD FSR 2.0, Intel XeSS upscaling tech was also showcased during GDC 2022. During the sessions, Intel talked about the temporal supersampling challenges it has faced during development. In addition, it explained how XeSS will work and how to implement it, stating it will feature five quality modes. During …

In an interview with ASCII, Raja Koduri, senior VP and GM of accelerated computing systems and graphics group at Intel, shared more details about the upcoming Intel Arc architecture.
