Hitman 3 now supports XeSS, FSR 2.1, and DLSS
As part of the game's October update, Hitman 3 has gained support for Intel's XeSS AI upscaling technology and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 2.1 temporal upscaling technology. Previously, the game only supported Nvidia's DLSS AI super resolution technology, now the game supports super resolution technologies from all major GPU manufacturers.
Regardless of whether you play Hitman 3 on GPUs from AMD, Intel, or Nvidia, gamers will be able to enjoy the game at high resolutions thanks to the power of super resolution technologies, with gamers being able to choose the option from whoever can deliver the best results. Users of Nvidia RTX GPUs have DLSS, users of Intel's new ARC A-series GPUs have XeSS, and AMD users (and Nvidia GTX users) have FSR 2.1.
Moving forward, we expect most major releases to support all three of these game upscaling technologies, as all three have been proven to deliver strong visual results while giving gamers access to higher framerates than native resolution rendering. By implementing these technologies, developers are effectively giving gamers a significant performance boost at a minimal visual cost. In many cases, DLSS and FSR 2.1 can already deliver results that are better than native resolution rendering, making these technologies a must have for gamers and game developers alike.
Hitman 3 is one of many AAA game releases that now support FSR 2.x, DLSS, and XeSS. We expect other developers to follow suit in time. Most new AAA games should support one, several, or all of these technologies, as image up sampling/image reconstruction technologies can deliver better performance from most PC hardware.
