Intel Xe<\/sup> Super Sampling is getting an update with new presets and scaling factors for more FPS, and an updated model for better detail with less ghosting. What\u2019s not to love?<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Intel Xe<\/sup>SS is growing alongside Intel Arc GPUs in a labor of love to restore balance to the graphics market. Intel Xe<\/sup>SS adds AI-powered upscaling to <\/a>over 100 supported titles<\/a> so you can game with better image quality without sacrificing FPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XeSS 1.3 by the numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of FPS values, what we\u2019re most excited to share about Intel Xe<\/sup>SS 1.3 are the expected performance increases, so let\u2019s dig in. Before showing you performance data, we have to make clear none of the games below include Xe<\/sup>SS 1.3<\/em>.\u00a0For these Intel-only tests of the upcoming version of our AI upscaler, Intel engineering labs used a modified build of Xe<\/sup>SS and popular games to validate improvements. This gives us an idea of how Xe<\/sup>SS 1.3 may be able to improve performance further with future enabled games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve compared the previous version of XeSS against our all new Xe<\/sup>SS 1.3 across seven different popular games, and tested on both an Intel Arc A750 powered desktop and a laptop powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor with built-in Intel Arc GPU. These modern game titles pack in some of the most impressive visuals ever, which means achieving high framerates is no easy feat. Running the previous Xe<\/sup>SS 1.1 or 1.2 versions on in these games already makes them smooth and playable \u2014 even with ray tracing on. But we can go even faster and smoother with Xe<\/sup>SS 1.3!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with the Intel Arc A750 system, tested at 1440p High with ray tracing effects where supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the board we see an average 10% expected increase in FPS from a previous version of Xe<\/sup>SS to Xe<\/sup>SS 1.3 on the Intel Arc A750, with some cases like Diablo IV* jumping a massive 28% in performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the available built-in Arc GPU of the Intel Core Ultra\u00a0processor, we tested the same seven games at 1080p Medium:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing cinematic games on-the-go can be a challenge, but not with Xe<\/sup>SS enabled. The newest version of our AI upscaler is expected to provide 8% more FPS on average and to help the built-in Arc GPU double framerates in The Witcher 3* over native rendering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s happening under the hood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key improvements with Xe<\/sup>SS 1.3 are our updated AI models. Through model optimizations, additional training, and in particular on difficult visual elements, the new Xe<\/sup>SS version delivers more detailed reconstruction, better anti-aliasing, less ghosting, and more temporal stability. All great technical terms, but seeing the new model in action does more than words ever will:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
