What is Intel XeSS?

XeSS is Intel's game image upscaling technology, with support and available modes depending on the game and hardware.

QUICK EXPLANATION

Check the game's XeSS support and requirements

Upscaling features are integrated game by game. Do not assume that a XeSS option or a particular mode is available in every title.

Image quality and performance depend on the game's implementation and selected mode.

Result: The game's graphics menu and release notes describe the XeSS options it supports.

How to check it

Check Intel's current XeSS information and the game's own notes, then compare the same scene with the feature on and off.

Check: Confirm the feature is active and inspect both moving and fine-detail scenes.
