Intel's new second-gen XeSS 2 upscaling tech with Frame Generation matches Nvidia's DLSS for features and might have the edge on AMD's FSR

Intel Corporation Nvidia AMD
Intel Arc B580.

Intel has just unleashed its second-gen gaming GPUs, codenamed Battlemage and kicking off with the Arc B580 and B570 graphics cards. We're a little disappointed that they're only aiming at Nvidia's low-end RTX 4060 for now. But when it comes to features and tech, if anything Battlemage looks to have the edge on AMD. And that includes upscaling.
