Intel’s latest graphics driver brings XeSS Multi-Frame Generation support to even more of its graphics lineup, including Arc discrete GPUs.
Intel has rolled out a brand-new graphics driver, and it has a pretty major feature for owners of Arc discrete graphics cards as well as a range of Core Ultra CPUs. The latest version of the company’s XeSS Frame Generation technology is now available on supported games, letting gamers utilize “Multi-Frame Generation” without using third-party tools.
The driver carrying the new tech is the WHQL-certified 32.0.101.8509 release. Intel’s Arc B-Series GPUs (Battlemage), A-Series discrete GPUs (Alchemist), and Core Ultra (Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake H) and Core Ultra 2 (Meteor Lake) processors now support the feature in XeSS 3-implemented games.
“XeSS Multi-Frame Generation builds upon XeSS Frame Generation by inserting up to 3 generated frames between two rendered frames, going from a 1:1 ratio to 3:1 for an ultra smooth gameplay experience,” says the company.
The multi-frame generation technology first landed last month, which let Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with built-in Arc B390 and B370 GPUs (Panther Lake) use the feature.
