"Microsoft's DirectSR: Ending PC Gaming Upscaling Wars"
TL;DR
Microsoft has collaborated with Nvidia, AMD, and Intel to develop DirectSR, a new API aimed at simplifying super-resolution coding in PC gaming. DirectSR will provide a streamlined approach for developers to access the companies’ distinct approaches to graphical upscaling, including Nvidia’s DLSS, AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution, and Intel’s XeSS, through a common set of inputs and outputs. This technology aims to enhance visual quality in games without overburdening the GPU, and Microsoft plans to introduce DirectSR for developers in a public preview build of the Agility SDK, with more details to be revealed at the DirectX State of the Union on March 21 at GDC.
