Microsoft will debut DirectX 'DirectSR' super-resolution graphics tech at GDC — could this tech end up in Xbox too?

DirectX 12.

What you need to know

  • Super resolution tech uses machine learning to enhance visuals and performance in scenarios where raw graphical power isn't always available. 
  • NVIDIA DLSS is the most famous solution, although Intel's XeSS and AMD's FidelityFX have also gained ground. 
  • Now, Microsoft is joining the fray with DirectSR, as part of the DirectX 12 suite. 
  • Microsoft will demonstrate DirectSR in more detail at GDC 2024 on March 21, and says that the API will unify different solutions on Windows with a single code path.
