For what seems like a very long time now, the combination of the words 'Intel', 'news', and 'good' has been rarer than finding a four-leaf clover in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica. Well, cover me in honey and call me Susan, because Intel has released XeSS 2.1, and it's tremendous news, as AMD and Nvidia GPU owners can now enjoy a sport of Intel-powered frame generation.
Intel's XeSS is a software kit for game developers to use in their projects, to allow gamers to enable upscaling, frame generation, and latency reduction to improve game performance. Up to now, only the upscaler side of things could be run on non-Intel GPUs, and that's because Intel made two versions of it: one that uses the matrix cores in an Alchemist or Battlemage chip, and another that just uses compute shaders.
