Intel's XeSS is the firm's answer to Nvidia DLSS, rendering internally at much lower resolutions then using machine learning to deliver a great combination of video quality and all-out performance. With years of development and iteration, DLSS has evolved into an excellent solution - so how does Intel fare on its first attempt at a similar solution? Alex Battaglia delivers the deep dive analysis you've been waiting for.
 
Not quite as good as dlss, but looks to be about on par with dlss 2.0 as that had some issues with particle trails etc. (not 2.3 etc.) I do like how it doesn't force sharpening, something I wish dlss would do.

A much better first attempt than Nvidia or AMD with their solutions. Too bad intel's future gpu efforts are up in the air, i'm really rooting for them. Partially because i'm a shareholder and partially because we need more competion.
 
Impressive first shot for the most part. Some glaring and rather big issues like the jittery puddles or flickering fine structures, which look distractingly bad. But it does a lot of difficult stuff pretty good already.

Glad to see some competition in that area, love me some good reconstruction tech.

DLSS has come so far, it's the best feature available for GPUs since a long time.
