Sadly though it remains proprietary software and only with native support for Windows.<\/p>\n<p>While Intel XeSS was originally claimed to be &#8220;open source&#8221;, to date it hasn&#8217;t been and some of those claims were since removed. The XeSS SDK is on GitHub but depends upon binary-only Windows DLLs that are not open-source. When receiving the GitHub notification that XeSS 3.0 SDK was just published, I eagerly checked to see if anything changed&#8230; Sadly, no go &#8211; still Windows-only binaries.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=2026&#038;image=intel_xess_3_1\" alt=\"Intel XeSS 3.0 SDK\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The XeSS 3.0 SDK adds multi-frame generation and improved frame generation models. For Windows gamers it can be as easy as replacing existing libxess.dll, libxell.dll, and libxess_gf.dll libraries with the new DLLs available via GitHub. A nice seamless upgrade for Windows gamers. Under Linux though Intel graphics have resorted to concealing the fact they are Intel graphics for some games to avoid XeSS issues.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=2026&#038;image=intel_xess_3_2\" alt=\"Intel XeSS 3.0 DLL binaries\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Those interested in the Intel XeSS 3.0 SDK for Windows can find the new release on GitHub.<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Intel-XeSS-3-SDK-GitHub\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intel Publishes XeSS 3 SDK To GitHub &#8211; Still As Windows-Only Binaries https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Intel-XeSS-3-SDK-GitHub Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":221617,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.phoronix.net\/image.php?id=2026&image=intel_xess_3_1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-221616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221616"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221616"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221616\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221618,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221616\/revisions\/221618"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
