Intel introduces XeSS 2 with frame renderer and low latency mode

In addition to announcing the new Arc B580 and Arc B570 graphics cards, Intel also announced the new XeSS 2 technology that comes to round out the software options for gamers, bringing two long-awaited features by users: frame renderer and low latency mode. .

The XeSS2 frame generator uses the interpolation technique to create new frames on the screen. The method analyzes information from one frame and “predicts” what the next frame will be, rendering this new frame in the rendering queue, allowing frames per second to increase and improving gaming performance.

To perform this analysis process, the technology uses reprojection through optical flows and motion vectors. The result, according to Intel testing, was up to a 3.9x increase in performance for certain games at 1440p on the Arc B580.

In the graphics published by the company, Cyberpunk 2077 increases its performance by 71% in ultra quality and performance mode in XeSS 2. When Ray Tracing is enabled, the game gets a very serious jump of 170%, while F1 24, for example, gets 140% additional performance.

Low latency and more games in the catalog

Along with framing, Intel also introduced XeLL, a low-latency mode. This feature is similar to AMD’s Radeon Anti-Lag 2 and Nvidia Reflex features; These features essentially reduce the latency of commands due to frame rendering and can increase response time by milliseconds when rendering frames. The company promises 45% more responsiveness in games.

Intel also announced that ten new games now support this technology. That’s why the company has more than 150 titles that support some version of XeSS. Check out the list of newly added games below:

• Assassin’s Creed: Shadows
• Harry Potter Quidditch: Champions
• Robocop: Rogue City
• Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
• Dying Light 2: Stay Human
• F1 24
• Rising
• Marvel Rivals
• Killing Floor III
