Intel XeSS Let’s You Enjoy Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City With Over 70% Faster Performance On Arc GPUs
Cyberpunk 2077 recently received its latest 1.62 patch which added support for Intel's XeSS tech found on Arc GPUs, allowing for a massive boost in performance.
Intel recently informed gamers using an Intel ArcGPU that the Cyberpunk 2077 received support for the XeSS technology which allows for a major performance boost on Arc graphics cards such as the Arc A770 and Arc A750.
XeSS is an AI-based super-sampling technique which reconstructs a low-resolution non-antialiased frame into a high-resolution fully-antialiased frame. And it does that at a fraction of the cost of high-resolution native rendering.
Good news gamers! Cyberpunk 2077 will run even faster now on Intel Arc GPUs thanks to XeSS. Thanks to the efforts of CDPR’s developers, they implemented the tech and released a patch that boosts performance significantly. This comes in handy if you play with ray tracing features on. We measured up to 71% uplift, hitting above that sweet 60FPS marker with the Intel Arc A750 graphics card.

The blog post shows the increase in performance by comparing running the game with and without Intel XeSS activated. The test setup featured the Intel Core i9-13900K CPU, the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO (BIOS 0904), the Intel Arc A750 8GB Limited Edition GPU, the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5 DRAM 5600 MHz, and the Corsair MP600 Pro XT 4 TB NVMe.
Most of the work to grant Intel access to utilizing the XeSS technology was done by the CDPR development team. In the recent patch for the game, the Intel team could see a 71% increase in frames per second (FPS) with XeSS activated by using the above specifications. Without the graphics boosting technology, the game was running at 39 fps, while with it started was
