Intel's Secret Weapon: XeSS 3 MFG Mode Delivers 140 FPS Performance from a 6GB GPU
Intel is revolutionizing gaming performance with the new 'MFG' mode of its AI-based upscaling technology XeSS. The entry-level Arc A380 graphics card tripled its performance in Cyberpunk 2077, reaching 140 FPS thanks to this technology.
Intel's AI Move: What is XeSS 3 MFG Mode?
Intel has announced a technology that will redefine hardware limitations in the gaming world. XeSS 3, the next-generation version of the Xe Super Sampling upscaling technology, stands out particularly with its 'MFG' (Multi-Frame Generation) mode. This technology uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyze frames rendered at low resolution and generates extra frames to exponentially increase performance. The core logic is to reduce the number of real frames the hardware needs to process while maximizing fluidity with high-quality intermediate frames produced by AI.
The most striking aspect of MFG mode is that it delivers incredible results especially on entry-level graphics cards with limited video memory (VRAM). The technology paves the way for a GPU with a relatively modest VRAM capacity like 6GB to deliver a premium experience even in demanding modern games.
140 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 with Arc A380: A Performance Revolution
The demo and test results presented by Intel reveal the potential of the technology. The Intel Arc A380, known as an entry-level graphics card with 6GB of GDDR6 memory, nearly tripled its performance in an extremely demanding game like Cyberpunk 2077, reaching 140 FPS levels when XeSS 3 MFG mode was enabled. This increase offers a high-fluidity experience without compromising the game's visual quality.
This success is not just about frame rate increase. The technology also promises more efficient system performance by reducing the load on the hardware's cooling and power consumption. Users will be able to achieve higher performance with lower system requirements.
A New Era in Gaming and Hardware
The release of XeSS 3 MFG mode calls into question the concept of 'hardware limitations'. Traditionally, reaching high FPS values required high-end, expensive GPUs. This technology democratizes performance, allowing budget-friendly hardware to compete in scenarios previously reserved for premium segments. It represents a significant shift where software intelligence begins to compensate for and enhance raw hardware capabilities, potentially changing how future games are developed and optimized. The implications extend beyond gaming into professional visualization and real-time rendering applications where efficiency and performance are critical.
