Ready to boost your graphics? Who isn\u2019t! Let’s dive into the powerful upscaling technology, Intel XeSS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New upscaling innovations are slowly but surely coming to market, giving gamers access to more enhanced visuals than ever before. In-game programs like NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR and, of course, Intel XeSS boast powerful upscaling algorithms to help your PC process demanding imagery with precise graphical fidelity. In today\u2019s post, we are going to be talking about what Intel XeSS actually is, how to use it, and what games support it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Intel XeSS? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Intel XeSS (or Xe Super Sampling) is Intel\u2019s powerful graphical upscaling technology powered by machine learning. It allows your PC to render games at a lower and more manageable resolution before using artificial intelligence to upscale images to higher resolutions like 1440p and 4K. As a result, you can experience boosted frame rates while still maintaining sharp visuals and high graphical fidelity for a top-tier gaming experience! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This powerful technology works by reconstructing detailed sub-pixel info from previous frames and neighbouring pixels. In more recent iterations of Intel XeSS, such as XeSS 3, the integrated AI tech has been used to synthesise multiple frames simultaneously to make your gameplay incredibly smooth. Very noice! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Specs Do I Need to Run Intel XeSS <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To run Intel XeSS, you can use Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA-based GPUs. This sets it apart from other technologies like AMD FSR and NVIDIA DLSS because it doesn\u2019t rely on specific architecture to run! The spec table below outlines everything else you will need to start upscaling your games with Intel XeSS! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Do I Turn on Intel XeSS? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two features you can utilise with Intel XeSS technology; upscaling and frame generation. To enable upscaling in your game: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
