I wonder if it would be possible for XeSS (and the upcoming FSR) to run on tensor cores and achieve the same quality as on the XMX cores. I assume that NVIDIA doesn't lock down that part of the GPU and anyone can use it for whatever they want?
It's probably just that Intel wants to have the advantage on their own GPUs. And I don't mind that at all, as long as we get all three options in every game. Hopefully DirectSR will make that really easy and AMD gets on board (they didn't want NVIDIA Streamline).
There's no use case for that, because anything with tensor cores can run DLSS/DLAA, both of which are superior to XeSS, so what's the point?
Hopefully AI FSR will come to at least the level of XeSS, but we'll see.
Maybe another year or two then AMD will catch up to where Intel is today with upscaling tech, and NVIDIA was two years ago.
I guess it's to be expected though, getting console level IQ on a GPU architecture designed for consoles, and which struggles to capture more than 15% of PC marketshare, even with the popularity of Radeon iGPUs in laptops.
My personal prediction is that AI FSR will become decent when the console refreshes with tensor core equivalents are released, and there's actually a userbase that can run the AI acceleration.
