Also XeSS 2 support would be awesome for the new B series ARC cards!

I just got an Arc B580, XeSS 2 + Frame Generation is a must, especially in 2024.

XeSS 2 SDK was just released Release XeSS SDK 2.0.1 · intel/xess · GitHub
Might be a minute - they’re just now adding FSR 3.1, which the first version of (FSR 3) came out in September of 2023. If it isn’t Nvidia, there often isn’t a large enough player base for them to prioritize it, unfortunately.
Submitted feedback about XeSS 2 to MSFS ZenDesk and logged as feedback internally by Asobo, but then again not a high priority unlike newer versions of FSR or DLSS.
How does the 580 do? I have an a750 which seems on par with my xbox series X so far. Im still leaning towards an amd 9070xt or nvidia 5070ti whenever i can get one on at MSRP. Even the arcs are out of stock though.
It’s alright on high end settings, except with airliners where it struggles 10-20 fps. It struggles with career mode too for some reason but world photography and activities missions it handles fine.
Just install optiscaler.

Wondering if Asobo could take advantage of XeSS in that way in a future Sim Update alongside DLSS and FSR.

Reason for adding it: XeSS 2 is based on AI-model super resolution and frame generation, supports many graphics cards, and has been tested in other games where it performs better than FSR 3. Since FSR 4 only supports AMD RDNA 4, it is not supported on other graphics cards.
Hi, I’m reaching out to strongly advocate for native Intel XeSS support in MSFS 2024.
The Intel Arc B580 is becoming a ‘savior’ for mid-range flight simmers. With its 12GB of VRAM, it handles MSFS 2024’s heavy texture demands far better than other 8GB cards in its class. As the B580 and future Arc GPUs rapidly replace older entry-level hardware, providing native XeSS integration has become essential. XeSS 2 and the upcoming XeSS 3 provide superior image stability and much clearer cockpit instrument readability compared to FSR 3.1. Combining XeSS’s Al-upscaling with the B580’s 12GB VRAM would allow mid-range players to achieve high-fidelity performance that was previously impossible.
We hope the dev team can prioritize this for the growing Intel Arc community.
Thanks!

Hi everyone. We all want native XeSS support, but while we wait for the developers, here is a working solution for the Intel Arc B580.
The Ideology: I’m a flight simmer, not a casual player. I don’t need “Mission Steps” or engine overlays cluttering my screen. I care about flight dynamics, a sharp cockpit, and smooth camera movement. This preset is built for those who value immersion over UI “trash”.
My Settings:
-
AA Mode: NVIDIA DLSS (Intercepted by OptiScaler to run XeSS 2.0.2 XMX).
-
Super Resolution: DLAA (Native resolution for maximum clarity).
-
Sharpening: 100% (FidelityFX).
-
V-Sync: OFF in game settings.
-
Graphics: Ultra + Raytraced Shadows.
Why HUD Fix is DISABLED: I have deliberately turned HUD Fix OFF in the config.
-
The Reason: This setting is an OptiScaler workaround that often causes stutters and freezes because it fails to sync the UI properly with the 3D render.
-
The Result: If you keep it off, any floating UI windows (like Mission Steps) might “float” or jitter during head movement.
-
My Take: Who cares about the overlay? Turning HUD Fix off is the only way to get butter-smooth cockpit movement and zero freezes while we wait for native XeSS support.
The 60 FPS Cap: I’ve locked the FPS to 60 within the OptiScaler menu (Press “Insert” in-game).
- The Logic: This gives the GPU enough headroom to process frames without delay, ensuring perfect stability and zero micro-stutters.
Installation: Unpack all files directly into the game’s root directory (where FlightSimulator2024.exe is located).
-
Steam:
...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\MSFS2024\ -
MS Store: Find your installation folder and drop the files next to the .exe.

Since the moderator deleted the link (I guess they’re a bit too worried about NVIDIA’s reputation up there, lol), here are the Optiscaler config settings for those who want to see how Intel Arc actually crushes it. No magic, just the right tweaks.
