Earlier this week, Intel announced Arc<\/a>, the branding for the new gaming GPUs that will face off with Nvidia’s GeForce<\/a> and AMD’s Radeon<\/a> cards when they launch early in 2022. Today, Intel provided a few additional details on Arc<\/a>, its underlying Xe-HPG architecture, its graphics drivers, and the “XeSS” upscaling technology that will work with both Intel’s GPUs as well as GPUs from Nvidia<\/a> and AMD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The HPG in Xe-HPG stands for “high-performance gaming,” and it builds on the Xe-LP (“low-power”) graphics tech included in Intel’s 11th-generation Tiger Lake laptop processors<\/a> and the low-end DG1 dedicated GPU<\/a>. At a high-level, Xe-HPG will support all of the features in DirectX 12 Ultimate<\/a>, just like Nvidia’s RTX 2000- and 3000-series GPUs and AMD’s RDNA2-based Radeon RX 6000-series cards. This includes, most notably, support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing, variable rate shading<\/a>, and mesh shaders<\/a>.<\/p>\n
