Intel's XeSS 1.3 SDK has been released with a host of new presets, faster performance and improved image quality

A still from a short clip showing the difference in image quality using Intel XeSS 1.3, with a samurai walking past a bamboo wall.

Intel's XeSS upscaler might not quite have the developer support of something like Nvidia's DLSS, but it's proven itself quite a competent performer. Now the most recent Intel XeSS 1.3 SDK has been released, and Intel has been keen to show off some significant performance improvements and improved visual quality to boot.

The most recent update adds several new quality presets, including Ultra Quality Plus, Ultra Performance and Native Anti-Aliasing, the last of which being an equivalent to Nvidia's DLAA or AMD's FSR 3 Native setting (via Wccftech). Ultra Quality Plus, meanwhile, is a 1.3x resolution scaling setting, replacing Ultra Quality, which is now moved further down the list to a 1.5x resolution scale.
