Even when we do not get a Home windows 12 launch this yr, the Home windows 11 24H2 replace is shaping as much as be a giant one. With AI all the craze, and each AMD and Intel integrating AI particular {hardware} into their newest CPUs, AI assisted functions are undoubtedly going to seem thick and quick. Microsoft is growing an attention-grabbing one, by introducing an AI assisted tremendous decision characteristic that is prone to seem within the 24H2 replace.
PhantomOfEarth (through Neowin), a person on the web site previously often called Twitter, posted a few screenshots from the Home windows 26052 preview construct. They reveal Microsoft is engaged on a brand new characteristic it calls Automated Tremendous Decision. Enabling it permits you to ‘Use AI to make supported video games play extra easily with enhanced particulars’.
At this cut-off date it isn’t working natively, although it can be enabled utilizing ViveTool (H/T @thebookisclosed). That implies it’s totally a lot a piece in progress and it stays to be seen simply the way it will work in follow.
On the floor it seems like a welcome characteristic. It ought to permit a a lot wider vary of {hardware} and software program to profit from upscaling expertise. One can think about 1000’s of older video games benefiting from the characteristic as these won’t ever obtain updates with FSR or DLSS help.
There are few particulars on Microsoft’s answer however presumably it really works in a lot the identical method as AMD’s Radeon Tremendous Decision. RSR is a driver based mostly answer used for upscaling in video games that do not have FSR help. It makes use of a spatial upscaling technique that does not require devoted AI {hardware}. RSR is considered usually inferior to the most recent FSR and DLSS variations, however its benefit is that it really works in any recreation with a full display screen output.
Automated Tremendous Decision seems like an extension or evolution of Microsoft’s Video Tremendous Decision characteristic, which may use AI to enhance video playback high quality.
It may be attention-grabbing to see how this characteristic develops and what it means for different upscaling applied sciences available on the market, in addition to what {hardware} necessities in might have. I am unable to think about it changing DLSS, FSR or XeSS, significantly with body technology any time quickly, however native Home windows upscaling help for apps that might in any other case by no means see it seems like a optimistic in my e book.
As at all times with upscaling applied sciences, actual world testing and evaluation might be wanted to see if its a characteristic value having.
