Intel XeSS Could Soon Deliver Better Performance On Linux As Intel Works To Enable XMX Acceleration Through Valve's Proton
Intel is working on improving XeSS (Xe Super Sampling) support on Linux, with a new series of patches aiming to enable hardware-accelerated XeSS upscaling through Valve's Proton compatibility layer. The proposed changes would allow supported Intel Arc GPUs to take advantage of their dedicated XMX (Xe Matrix Extensions) engines when running Windows games on Linux, potentially delivering substantially better upscaling performance. As reported by P…
Intel Readies XMX-Accelerated XeSS Support for Valve's Proton Compatibility Layer
Intel is preparing to add support for XeSS, accelerated by XMX cores in its graphics cards, to Valve's Proton compatibility layer. This is great news because the Valve Proton layer currently uses a slower version of the upscaler that is not very efficient. The XMX cores would significantly accelerate upscaling and bring substantial performance improvements. Intel is promoting XeSS and its latest version 3.0, which features multi-frame generation…
Portable consoles on Intel processors will soon benefit from a marked improvement: the company intends to introduce full support for XesS technologies into the Valve Proton compatibility layer. Today, Proton is using a simplified and slower version of the apskeler. The full integration of Xess using dedicated XML kernels in Intel graphics will provide higher speed and better image quality. Improvements will not only affect scale, The post Linux …
