Microsoft Windows 11 24H2 To Have Its Own AI Super Resolution Technology, Works Across All PCs With AI NPUs
...
From the screenshot posted, it looks like the Microsoft AI Super Resolution technology would be enabled using a toggle within the graphics settings panel on the new Windows 11 24H2 version. Users will also be able to use the technology on a per-game basis where they can set the graphics preferences to On, Off, or Auto so you can either use the GPU or the NPU onboard your CPU for the AI processing. It is stated that enabling Auto SR in certain apps might cause unexpected results and additionally, there's a toggle to enable optimizations for windowed games.
It is interesting since it looks like almost every game will be supported by this technology & the use of AI means that it will be better than the traditional super-resolution methods. Almost every other Super Resolution or upscaling technology such as
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and
XeSS (Xe Super Sampling) is powered by AI while others such as
AMD's FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) and
Apple MetalFX Super Resolution leverage non-AI hardware to achieve super sample upscaling.
