XeSS SDK 2.1 release opens up Intel's framegen tech to compatible AMD and Nvidia GPUs — Xe Low Latency also goes cross-platform if framegen is enabled

Intel XeSS and how it works.

Intel has officially released the XeSS 2.1.0 SDK, a major update to its Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) framework that brings broader GPU support and unlocks frame generation for AMD and Nvidia cards. The update adds Xe Frame Generation support for any GPU that supports Shader Model 6.4 or higher, including GeForce GTX 10-series and newer, and AMD’s Radeon RX 5000 series onward. However, Intel recommends a GeForce RTX 30-series or Radeon RX 6000-series GPU or newer for the best experience.

Previously, only Intel Arc users had access to the full XeSS 2 feature set, which includes super resolution (XeSS-SR), frame generation (XeSS-FG), and low-latency mode (XeLL). With version 2.1.0, all three features can now be implemented on non-Intel GPUs. However, low latency rendering only kicks in when FG is active on non-Intel cards, so users and developers will need to enable both features for the benefits to apply.
