Intel has released the first update for XeSS, improving image quality and performance by re-training the algorithm. The upscaler is now better suited for dealing with temporal instabilities such as ghosting and blurring. XeSS has also been optimized for integrated GPUs and NVIDIA/AMD hardware via DP4a (low precision) acceleration.

XeSS 1.1 boasts faster execution times of XMX kernels on Arc hardware and quicker DP4a throughput on Intel Xe iGPUs and GeForce/Radeon graphics cards.

Using the Ultra Quality preset, the Arc A770 is now up to 25% faster when running XeSS at 1440p. Similar performance improvements can be observed at lower-quality presets. iGPUs leveraging the DP4a kernels also see a marginal boost on Ice Lake, Tiger Lake, and Alder Lake CPUs.

The latest Game On driver also optimizes Resident Evil 4 for the Arc A series graphics cards with minor performance uplifts for Guardians of the Galaxy, Counter-Strike GO, etc.
