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.

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.

Interesting:
The latest version of Intel’s XeSS 2 now lets other GPUs run its AI-based frame generation system, throwing RTX 30-series owners a Team Blue-shaped bone | PC Gamer

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