Intel XeSS demonstrated in Hitman 3 and The Riftbreaker – Graphics – News Leave a comment

In the course of the InnovatiON 2021 occasion, Intel shared the primary video footage of XeSS technology as utilized to at the moment out there gaming titles. Hitman 3 (launched Jan 2021) was proven off throughout a section hosted by Roger Chandler, and The Riftbreaker (launched earlier this month) by Lisa Pearce. Sadly, all of the footage out there from the occasion is a max 1080p60, so it is not optimum for pixel peeping. Intel will add 4K footage at a later date.

Hitman 3 is a widely known AAA title, so it’s a good sport for Intel to demo with so early earlier than its graphics playing cards and supporting tech like XeSS arrive. The underlying Glacier engine does not assist rival super-resolution applied sciences like Nvidia DLSS or AND FSR, so you will not see any such comparisons, for now. As an alternative, Intel checked out comparisons in imagery in instance footage comparable to 1080p vs 4K XeSS, as under.

Keep in mind, XeSS is viable on different GPU manufacturers, so an replace now would possibly profit AMD and Nvidia customers, however Intel has no motive to get IOI to implement XeSS as but. The Glacier Engine is meant to get real-time raytracing applied sooner or later, too.

The Riftbreaker by Exor Studios already has AMD’s FSR settings in its graphics choices. It turns into the primary sport we all know of with each FST and XeSS, so it could be good to pixel peep at such comparisons. Within the occasion demo, although, we noticed Intel once more select to main or 1080p vs 4K XeSS powered graphics. You’ll be able to simply see some element enhancements when you look intently on the magnified stills.

Intel introduced its XeSS DevMesh program for builders, permitting early entry to check its supersampling know-how. Issues are thus trying fairly good for some XeSS enhanced video games being prepared for the launch of the primary Arc Alchemist / DG2 GPUs. Intel confirmed that the primary Arc Alchemist graphics merchandise are coming in Q1 2022, but it surely is not sure whether or not this will likely be cellular dGPUs or each the cellular and desktop Xe-HPG based mostly merchandise.
