Windows 11: soon an AI function to improve the definition of the graphics of your video games

Microsoft appears to be preparing the ground for the integration of super sampling technology within Windows 11. Enough to compete with (or take advantage of) NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR and Intel XeSS technologies?

Today, gamers equipped with modern graphics cards can benefit from proprietary super sampling technologies in certain titles to improve in-game performance. What if Microsoft soon offered its own solution, directly within Windows 11? In test build 26052, and therefore potentially in the future public update 24H2, Neowin has in any case found a functionality that suggests it.

Even more direct integrations in Windows 11

In System > Screen > Graphics, a new option to check called Automatic super resolution made its appearance. Underneath it, it says: “ Uses AI to make supported games smoother with improved details “. In short, exactly what NVIDIA’s DLSS, AMD’s FSR and Intel’s XeSS have been offering for some time now.

For the moment, enabling this feature doesn’t seem to change anything, while the link to learn more about this tool only points to the Microsoft DirectX Developer blog. Once the tool is truly launched, there is no doubt that documentation should be offered. Patience is therefore essential.

A still mysterious integration

It now remains to be seen what exactly the solution will offer and how it will work. Will it simply activate NVIDIA, AMD or Intel solutions automatically by default, or will it use an equivalent from Microsoft? If the latter solution is chosen, will specific equipment be required and how will it compare to competing technologies? Will it be limited to video games? A upscale videos, already offered elsewhere (RTX Video Super Resolution, in Opera browsers, etc.), is entirely possible.

For the record, with super sampling, it is a question of running games in a low resolution in order to gain performance, then of enlarging the rendering using AI in order to offer a sharper image without losing the number of images. frames per second. The addition of this most effective technology directly within Windows 11 would therefore be a real boon for gamers.
