CD Projekt Red recently rolled out an update to Cyberpunk 2077 that adds support for Intel’s XeSS upscaling technology and according to Intel, owners of its Arc series discrete GPUs can expect a fairly substantial performance bump. As in, a massive 71 percent increase in average framerates when playing on an Arc A750 graphics card.
It’s worth highlighting that in our Arc A770 and A750 review, we commented that we were “particularly pleased with how well Itnel seems to have implemented XeSS this early in the game.” That’s back when the cards had just released to retail. Since then, Intel has done an admirable job optimizing things on the driver side. That’s especially true with regards to older DirectX 9 games, though not exclusively.
In this case, Intel is crediting Cyberpunk 2077’s developers for the latest performance gain on discrete Arc GPU hardware.
