So, something pretty wild just happened. Intel’s new frame generation tech, XeSS 2, has had its DLL files leak online! This is big news because it opens up some exciting possibilities for modders and players.
The other day, we chatted about how Intel was rolling out their next-gen version of XeSS. Well, now that we’ve got these leaked files floating around, it looks like modders might be able to swap out NVIDIA’s DLSS 3 for Intel’s shiny new tech in certain games. I mean, can you imagine? A whole new way to boost your frames without needing an NVIDIA card! How cool is that?
But here’s where it gets a bit tricky. Only those lucky folks with Intel Arc GPUs will enjoy this feature entirely. Yep, while everyone else is left drooling over performance boosts, they’ll be sitting there wondering why their setups don’t support it. According to Steam stats, that’s not a huge crowd, either. Yikes!
If you’re one of the select few rocking an Intel Arc GPU, you might want to keep your eyes peeled because the official release of the Arc B580 is set for December 13th! This baby packs a punch with 12GB of GDDR6 memory and can even hit speeds up to 2.67GHz, all for just $249! Early benchmarks hint that it’s more potent than the NVIDIA RTX 4060, too (both in traditional raster graphics and ray tracing). Talk about a potential sleeper hit!
You can check out and download those leaked DLL files from this link. If you’re feeling adventurous and own an Intel GPU that already supports XeSS Super Resolution in games, maybe give it a shot! Who knows? It could fix some pesky visual glitches.
This whole situation has me excited and scratching my head at how niche this all feels right now. Are we ready for yet another layer of complexity in our gaming lives? Let me know what you think in the comments below!
What are your thoughts? I’d love to hear what you think about all this drama surrounding Intel’s latest offerings!
