Intel XeSS 2 DLLs Leaked Online – Modders Prepare DLSS 3 Replacement
In the network appeared leaked Intel XeSS 2 DLLs, opening up opportunities for modders. XeSS 2 is the next generation of scaling technology from Intel, including Super Resolution, frame generation (Frame Generation) and Xe Low Latency. With the file leak, developers may begin replacing NVIDIA DLSS-3 on XeSS 2 in supported games.
Similar modifications have already taken place before, for example with the replacement of DLSS 3 with AMD FSR3.0. Now XeSS 2 can offer an alternative, but with a serious limitation. Unlike Super Resolution, which worked on most GPU, Frame Generation and Xe Low Latency supported only on intel arc GPU series Alchemist и battlemage. This means that only Intel Arc owners will be able to use mods, which, according to Steam, are extremely few.
Meanwhile, Intel is preparing for release Arc B580 already 13 December. New map for $249 will receive 12 GB GDDR6 memory and promises higher performance RTX 4060 in rendering and ray tracing. However, this does not remove the question of real interest in the Intel Arc platform among a wide audience.
For those interested in testing XeSS 2, the leaked files can be replaced in games that already use Super Resolution to fix possible visual issues. However, the full implementation of the technology in games is still in question.
