Intel unexpectedly released its XeSS super resolution technology earlier this week. Intel(R) Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) enables an innovative framerate boosting technology supported by Intel(R) Arc(TM) graphics cards and other GPU vendors. Using AI deep-learning to perform upscaling, XeSS offers higher framerates without degrading the image.
XeSS is Intel’s machine learning-based take on upscaling for games, similar to Nvidia’s DLSS. While XeSS will be supported on Intel’s own graphics. XeSS (Xe Super Sampling) takes your gaming experience to the next level with AI-enhanced upscaling, enabling more performance with high image fidelity. Revel in ultra-high-definition visuals with high-performance, powered by hardware acceleration and an AI-based algorithm. Designed with all gamers in mind, XeSS is unlocked to work on widely available hardware.
Accelerate Your Frames, Accelerate Your Games
Go from zero to hero, casual to competitive, with different upscaling options ranging from maximum detail (ultra quality mode) to maximum speed (performance mode). Intel’s AI-based technology unlocks incredible performance for high octane gaming. Play faster than ever with XeSS.
How It Works
Machine learning helps synthesize images that are very close to the quality of native ultra-high-res rendering by reconstructing subpixel details from neighboring pixels, as well as motion-compensated previous frames. This reconstruction is performed by a neural network trained to deliver high performance and exceptional quality.
