Launching alongside new Intel Battlemage GPUs today is XeSS 2, the next version of XeSS that adds frame generation and a low-latency mode, very similar to what we’ve seen from Nvidia with DLSS 3 frame generation and Reflex, as well as AMD with FSR 3 frame generation and Anti-Lag 2.
The way Intel has described the operation of these new XeSS 2 features is very similar to DLSS 3. Frame generation interpolates between two rendered frames to create an additional frame to increase smoothness.
This is done through optical flow reprojection, along with motion vector reprojection and other inputs. Intel says XeSS 2 has two AI models: the optical flow model and a blend model that combines the outputs generated through optical flow and motion vector reprojection. The UI is composited onto each frame at the end.
Complementing this is Xe Low Latency, an equivalent to Nvidia Reflex that aims to lower game render latency to help mitigate the lack of latency improvement from enabling frame generation. Like XeSS 2 frame generation, XeLL needs to be integrated into games.
The FPS increase seen from XeSS frame generation is similar to what we’ve seen previously from Nvidia and AMD’s frame generation tech.
