The Intel MFG is built on XeSS Frame Generation to deliver a smoother gaming experience by introducing fake frames.
Intel Arc Graphics Driver 32.0.101.8425/8362 for Arc B370 and B390 Rolled Out With XeSS 3 Multi-Frame Generation
Intel unveiled XeSS 3 a few months ago, and also its Multi-Frame Generation tech that aims to provide smoother gameplay. Today, the company launched it with the rollout of its latest Arc Graphics driver 32.0.101.8425/8362. It's a launch driver for the recently released Panther Lake series that features Xe3-based iGPUs such as Arc B370 and Arc B390.
The release notes confirm the official launch of XeSS 3 with Multi-Frame Generation (MFG), which is built on the XeSS Frame Generation already available. Unlike the conventional frame gen technique, which introduces one fake frame between two rendered frames, the MFG will insert three fake frames between every two rendered frames. So, in scenarios where the game is struggling to reach high FPS, the MFG will significantly increase the frame rates for smoother gameplay.
This, of course, doesn't bring the native visual quality as MFG tends to introduce ghosting and artifacts. Given that the Intel XeSS 3 MFG is in its initial state, one can expect some instability in the visuals, but with a 3:1 ratio, gaming will feel buttery smooth. Keep in mind that Multi-Frame Generation is only supported on Arc graphics, including the discrete and integrated GPUs such as Alchemist and Battlemage families.
So, unlike NVIDIA MFG, which only includes the RTX 50 series, the Intel MFG will be supported on a wide range of Intel products. That said, XeSS 3 MFG will retain API backward compatibility, allowing it to work with all games that already support XeSS 2. Therefore, nearly 50 games that currently support XeSS 2 will support XeSS 3 and the MFG out of the box.
