Intel XESS

Intel XESS has been released long time ago since 21 August last year.

The technology is meant to offer high quality upscaling that works on any GPU.

As far as I know Apex Legends is one of those rare competitive games that requires a relatively high system performance. it is a great addictive game.

a game like this needs upscaling technologies to reach even more audience.

currently according to my tests across different systems Apex legends runs well only on midrange desktops and high end high performance laptops leaving the game unplayable for those on low power notebooks that uses 15W CPU and 10-25W GPUs.

Intel's XeSS have got my mind blown at the announcement as Intel was claiming that it would be a DLSS equivalent without the need of special hardware. in other words it is a DLSS that works on any GPU not just Nvidia's RTX series

we really need those upscaling technologies. whenever I think about a game I see no better than Apex legends to play, but the problem is that it does not run well on any casual system, but only on specific gaming hardware. this makes me unable to play the game anywhere but only at my home on my beast gaming RIG. too many people uses portable low power laptops these days and I think such an improvement to game have to be taken seriously.
