Intel Arc B580 and Claw Consoles Already Have Multi-Frame Generation XeSS, All Without Intel's Involvement
Owners of current-generation Intel graphics cards and portable consoles based on "blue" hardware have found a way to activate the XeSS 3 technology with Multi-Frame Generation, which is not yet officially supported on these devices. Enthusiasts discovered that the limitation is purely software-based and can be bypassed with simple manipulations of driver files.
The essence of the method lies in swapping libraries. Users copy files from the developer SDK into the driver's system folders and the game's root directory. After this, the coveted option to enable frame generation appears in the graphics settings of devices like the desktop Arc B580. The same applies to consoles like the MSI Claw.
- Download the latest Arc graphics driver.
- Extract it.
- Open the folder 8362.
- In this folder, find the files igxell.dll and igxess.dll.
- Copy both files to folder 8452, overwriting the existing ones.
- Next, completely remove the graphics driver from your PC using DDU, and then reinstall it, but this time from the folder you extracted earlier.
- For some specific games, it may be necessary to rename the files, replacing 'ig' with 'lib', and then place these renamed files in the game's own folder.
