Previously, before the release of arc graphics card, Intel announced that it would launch XESS technology benchmarking NVIDIA DLSS technology and AMD FSR technology. However, now that arc graphics card has been released, XESS technology has been delayed. Today, according to wccftech report, the first game with XESS technology "dolmen" will be released on May 20, which means that the technology will finally make its debut**
It is reported that XESS technology can realize high-performance super sampling technology based on AI acceleration through the Xmx AI engine built-in in Intel arc graphics card, so as to synthesize images with quality close to the original resolution.
In addition to this implementation approach that requires hardware support, XESS also supports dp4a instructions. Basically, all GPUs of NVIDIA and AMD can be used smoothly**
Of course, the picture quality realized by software is still different from that realized by hardware based on Xmx, but it is also better than the traditional scaling algorithm.
At the same time, like AMD's FSR technology, Intel's XESS will also be open source , so as to attract more developers.
