Budget Arc A380 performance improves through Intel XeSS 3 Technology
Budget Arc A380 performance improves through Intel XeSS 3 Technology. Intel's new XeSS 3 upscaling technology is proving to be a game changer for older, entry level hardware. Alva Jonathan tested the Intel Arc A380 budget GPU performance in Cyberpunk 2077 and discovered that it achieved higher frame rates through multi frame generation.
The Arc A380 maintains its frame rate between 50 and 60 fps during standard rendering at 1080p with low settings. The system performance changes completely after you enable XeSS 3 with AI generated frames.
- Base Performance 50 60 fps.
- XeSS 3 Performance 120 150 fps (depending on settings).
The technology works by using AI to insert additional frames between traditionally rendered ones which smooths out the visual experience and doubles or triples the perceived frame rate.
The maximum frame generation settings enable major performance improvements but create specific limitations. The testing shows that the system need "Quad frame rate" mode which leads to both noticeable input delays and visual defects.
The system delivers more consistent performance when users switch to 3x frame generation mode. The game operates at about 120 fps with slight delays and no visible graphical glitches, which is the recommended gaming setup for this particular hardware.
Users need to use Intel graphics drivers for Arc A380 multi frame generation because it currently needs a manual method to access this feature. The driver version transition requires users to execute file transfers between specific driver folders.
- Locate the Graphics 32.0.101.8425 driver.
- Copy two DLL files from this folder.
- Paste and replace these files into the Graphics_101.8425 driver folder.
AI driven software development enables entry level GPU technology to maintain its functionality across extended time periods. The Arc A380 can now run modern demanding games at high refresh rates through XeSS 3, which previously exceeded the abilities of this hardware category. Intel will reduce visual artifacts and latency problems when it improves its AI algorithms.
