Intel Unveiled XeSS 3 Multi-Frame Gen: Here’s Everything You Need to Know

By / Tech / October 11, 2025

Intel has announced XeSS 3 Multi-Frame Gen for all its dGPUs and iGPUs running on Xe architectures. You can learn everything about it here.

Intel unveiled the XeSS 3 Multi-Frame Gen technology at the Intel Tech Tour 2025 event, alongside the Xe3 graphics architecture. This makes Intel the second GPU vendor to introduce MFG technology, as AMD has yet to announce it. Intel’s implementation of MFG is extremely similar to Nvidia’s, but it is not limited to Xe3 GPUs only. In this article, we have explained everything you need to know about XeSS 3 Multi-Frame Generation. Read on to learn more.

XeSS 2 first introduced Frame Generation in December 2024. It used XMX cores to generate one AI-interpolated frame for every original frame produced by the GPU. Therefore, if the Intel GPU runs a game at 60 FPS, this technology doubles the FPS to around 110 to 120 for smoother gameplay.

Now, Intel is releasing the Multi-Frame Generation technology 10 months later. As the name suggests, the XMX cores of the GPU will now generate up to four more interpolated frames alongside the original frame. In other words, a game running at 60 FPS will now run at around 210 to 240 FPS, which is a 4x increase in FPS.

How Does XeSS 3 MFG Work?

When the Intel GPU generates two frames, the XMX cores analyze the motion vectors and background depth buffers in those two frames and generate up to four frames to fit between them. Essentially, the two original frames act as the past and the future, while the generated frames are inserted in between them as the present frames.

The GPU then uses Optical Flow algorithms to achieve perfect frame pacing between the two original frames and the four generated frames. This results in smoother visuals and a better-looking game.

Which GPUs Support XeSS 3 MFG?

At launch, XeSS Multi-Frame Generation will only be available for Xe3 iGPUs inside the Intel Panther Lake lineup. However, it will soon roll out to Xe2-based iGPUs and Battlemage discrete GPUs. The original Xe-based iGPUs and dGPUs will receive MFG much later. Therefore, all Intel Xe-based GPUs will eventually receive XeSS 3 Multi-Frame Gen, whether integrated or discrete.

XeSS 2 FG was also Intel-exclusive at launch, but in August 2025, it was released for all modern GPUs using the DP4a method. Therefore, XeSS 3 MFG may be released for other GPUs in the future.

Which Games Support XeSS 3 MFG?

Intel has currently demoed XeSS 3 Multi-Frame Gen in Dying Light The Beast and the upcoming Painkiller title, releasing on October 21, 2025. Therefore, it could soon be introduced in Dying Light The Beast with a new patch, while Painkiller may feature it at launch. However, Intel has stated that all games already supporting XeSS 2 will support XeSS 3 MFG using an override from the Intel Graphics Software App.
