Intel talks XeSS, its DLSS and FSR 2.0 rival, for the first time in months. The manufacturer shares game framerates. 



XeSS is a game upscaling technique that renders frames at a lower resolution before upscaling them. This should improve framerates without sacrificing quality. It involves temporal upscaling. Using previous frame information, the current frame is altered. Comparable to Nvidia's DLSS and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0. Intel says Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II will support XeSS upon release. The game releases on October 28, thus XeSS should arrive before then. Also 3DMark will add a XeSS test soon'. Hitman III, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Ghostwire Tokyo, and Death Stranding are among the games that will support it as well. 

Intel shows new XeSS performance claims on a PC with Arc A770 video and 2560x1440 resolution. The company offers XeSS's performance- and balanced-modes. Balanced mode improves framerate by 25 to 75%, depending on the tested game. The manufacturer claims a 35-111% improvement in performance mode. The company doesn't release quality- and ultra-quality-mode numbers, which should offer the right amount of image quality. XeSS was supposed to release this summer. However, that deadline was missed.
