First announced at last year’s Intel Tech Tour event in Arizona, XeSS Multi-Frame Generation offers similar 2x, 3x, and 4x modes (one, two, or three additional frames), much like Nvidia’s DLSS Multi-Frame Generation.
During the showcase, Intel said that XeSS 3 with Multi-Frame Generation will not require developers to update existing XeSS 2 titles to add support. Any game that already supports XeSS 2 frame generation will be compatible with XeSS MFG and can be enabled via an override in the Intel Graphics Software control panel. Depending on the game title, Intel also expects XeSS MFG settings to be available via in-game settings in the future. Since XeSS 3 supports Arc GPUs with XMX units, the new upscaling tech will be available on Arc A-series and B-series discrete GPUs as well as integrated graphics solutions powered by Xe2/Xe3.
In our early hands-on of Intel’s XeSS Multi-Frame Generation on a Panther Lake engineering system at Intel’s Tech Tour event, we found that the image quality was impressive, with no obvious artifacts that made the generated frames stand out. That said, input lag felt high for fast-paced shooters, and we were also left unconvinced by Intel’s reliance on baseline frame rates as a measure of acceptable input lag, as the two don’t always correlate as closely as the company implies.
