The technology works with older Arc A-series Alchemist discrete GPUs that have XMX matrix math acceleration. XeSS 2 rebuilds image details through an AI deep neural network when upscaling. This approach makes it more similar to DLSS than AMD FSR technology. Intel has also updated several developer tools for XeSS 2 support - their programming guides, Unreal Engine plugin, and XeSS Inspector development tool. Intel shared another...
