Overview

• The XeSS 2.1 SDK enables AI-driven super sampling, frame generation and reduced latency on any GPU with Shader Model 6.4, spanning GeForce GTX 10 series and newer as well as AMD Radeon RX 5000 series onward.
• On non-Intel GPUs, XeSS 2.1 runs its neural networks via DP4a compute shaders while Intel Arc cards leverage XMX cores for greater efficiency.
• Xe Low Latency rendering on AMD and NVIDIA cards only activates when frame generation is enabled, requiring both features to be turned on together.
• Developers must integrate the updated XeSS 2.1 SDK into each game to unlock compatibility with non-Intel hardware, as support is not automatic.
• Intel reports that just 22 titles currently support XeSS 2, limiting the immediate reach of the 2.1 feature set.
