XeSS Support?

XeSS Support incoming?

[(ノ°□°)ノ]

It hasn’t even come out yet, and I think it’s impossible.

XeSS will be open Sourced..just like FSR...
However XeSS, as Intel Claims, will be Combination of both Machine learning ( DLSS ) and Spatial Upscaling ( AMD FSR )..
This Machine learning part makes it a bit tricky to implement in LosslessScale..
HOWEVER, m sure The Developer will find a way.. But hey..all in due time...XeSS will take a few months to be out....till then Enjoy FSR..!

Won't be possible. Will require motion vectors and temporal data.

FSR works as a post-process shader which, while it can work applied at the end, benefits from being applied earlier in the rendering pipeline before other elements like lighting, film grain & UI. XeSS is going to absolutely require a deeper level of integration than as a post-process shader, as it needs information from multiple frames, and a trained ML reference model trained specifically for that game. Even if it's open-source, that doesn't mean it can be slapped on as a generic enhancement at runtime. It's of more benefit to devs than it is to modders.

Closest I could see to it being applied without input from the game dev themselves is either an ENB injection on a per-game basis where an AI model has been trained on that game with a reference library ready to go, a DirectX API-level where Microsoft keeps an ML library for ML upscaling enhancements themselves & just decides to go with Intel's solution for some reason - or if Intel decide to have their users opt in to have the AI training models run on a crowdsourced-level so everyone running every game is sending data back to Intel to feed into a control-panel level enhancement for games that works better the more collective runtime it has. Though I can't imagine this happening without a fair amount of additional CPU load/threads, network bandwidth being consumed, and paltry participation rates considering Intel doesn't even have a market presence yet. So if anything like this ever occurs, it'll probably be exclusively on Intel products, particularly as Intel's upcoming big-little architecture will be better at absorbing the additional CPU threads without compromising game performance that'll primarily be leveraging the big high-IPC cores. And even then, I can't see it happening in the short-term.

TLDR: don't hold your breath to see temporal & particularly ML-based upscaling methods being applied by modders or as any kind of generic injector-process.

Apparently XeSS will work two ways, one will require hardware xmx units, the other will work on cards that support DP4a (INT8) instructions (so anything from a 1060 gtx and vega 20's up)

The difference will apparently be just slightly slower frametimes for the DP4a version, but still faster than native.
