Intel XeSS2 Brings Frame Generation and Low Latency for 3.9x Gaming Performance Boost

Intel has officially unveiled XeSS2, a significant upgrade to its AI-powered graphics upscaling technology, alongside the announcement of its Battlemage GPUs. With features like frame generation and low-latency mode (XeLL), XeSS2 positions Intel firmly in competition with NVIDIA's DLSS and AMD's FSR technologies.

Frame Generation: Using an AI-based interpolation method, XeSS2 boosts gaming performance by up to 3.9x in Ultra Performance Mode at 1440p. Even in Quality presets, the FPS can increase by 2.8x, delivering smoother gaming experiences across a range of games.

XeLL (Xe Low Latency Mode): Reduces latency by up to 45% in 1440p Ultra gaming. Similar to NVIDIA Reflex and AMD Anti-Lag 2, this feature enhances responsiveness, especially when paired with frame generation.

Expanded API Support: The update supports DirectX 11 and Vulkan, further extending XeSS compatibility across older and newer games.

Intel announced that 10 games will launch with XeSS2 support, including high-profile titles like:

• Assassin's Creed: Shadows

• Harry Potter Quidditch: Champions

• Robocop: Rogue City

• Dying Light 2: Stay Human

• F1 24

This brings the total number of XeSS-supported games to over 150, showcasing Intel's growing presence in the gaming tech space.

Paired with the new Arc B580 and B570 GPUs, XeSS2 utilizes enhanced XMX engines to deliver superior visual fidelity and performance, rivaling NVIDIA’s DLSS3 and AMD’s FSR3. These advancements make Intel’s Battlemage GPUs a strong contender in the mainstream gaming segment.

Intel’s move to include advanced AI-powered upscaling and latency reduction tech places it on par with industry giants, offering gamers more choices for high-performance gaming hardware.
