Intel is facing some challenges recently, but its GPU division continues to produce significant advancements. XeSS 2.1 is now available, bringing exciting news for gamers with AMD and Nvidia GPUs who can now utilize Intel’s frame generation capabilities.

XeSS is a software toolkit intended for game developers, helping improve performance by enabling frame generation, latency reduction, and upscaling. Previously, only the upscaling function was available for non-Intel graphics cards due to the distinct versions of XeSS.

The latest iteration, XeSS 2.1, extends its frame generation feature to non-Intel GPUs, making it compatible with a broader range of graphics cards, including the AMD Radeon RX and Nvidia GeForce RTX series. Currently, only 22 games support this feature, and it requires adoption from developers for full utilization.

“For what seems like a very long time now, the combination of the words ‘Intel’, ’news’, and ‘good’ has been rarer than finding a four-leaf clover in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica.”
(Finding good news from Intel has become quite rare.)

Although the utilization of XeSS on non-Intel systems may vary in performance, the visual quality should not fall short, making this a remarkable development in the graphics landscape.
