Death Relives and The First Descendant Get Frame-Boosting NVIDIA DLSS 4 Update
This week, NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation multiplies performance in Death Relives and The First Descendant, delivering the definitive PC experience for GeForce RTX players. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, The First Descendant is a free, third-person cooperative action-RPG shooter that lets gamers experience the fun of strategic boss fights through 4-player co-op. Season 3, 'Breakthrough,' launches August 7th. It introduces a massive new open area to explore and fight in, a new Field Colossus Raid, and a new hoverbike mount to speed up travel. There's also a crossover with the popular action RPG NieR: Automata. The game already supports DLSS Frame Generation, DLSS Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, DLAA, Reflex, and several ray-traced effects. With the launch of Season 3, NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation joins the party, multiplying frame rates at 4K resolution by an average of 4.9X.

XeSS SDK 2.1 release opens up Intel's framegen tech to compatible AMD and Nvidia GPUs — Xe Low Latency also goes cross-platform if framegen is enabled
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Intel has officially released the XeSS 2.1.0 SDK, a major update to its Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) framework that brings broader GPU support and unlocks frame generation for AMD and Nvidia cards. The update adds Xe Frame Generation support for any GPU that supports Shader Model 6.4 or higher, including GeForce GTX 10-series and newer, and AMD's Radeon RX 5000 series onward. However, Intel recommends a GeForce RTX 30-series or Radeon RX 6000-series GPU or newer for the best experience. Previously, only Intel Arc users had access to the full XeSS 2 feature set, which includes super resolution (XeSS-SR), frame generation (XeSS-FG), and low-latency mode (XeLL). With version 2.1.0, all three features can now be implemented on non-Intel GPUs. However, low latency rendering only kicks in when FG is active on non-Intel cards, so users and developers will need to enable both features for the benefits to apply. Although this opens the door to wider adoption, support for the XeSS 2.1 SDK isn't automatic. Even if a game already supports XeSS 2, developers will still need to integrate the new SDK version to enable compatibility for Nvidia and AMD GPUs. For engines that don't yet support XeSS at all, developers must link the updated SDK and adjust internal configuration to target other vendors. Under the hood, XeSS 2.1 uses DP4a instructions to run its convolutional neural networks on non-Intel GPUs—offering a fallback path where Intel's XMX cores aren't available. On Intel Arc Alchemist and Battlemage GPUs, XMX still delivers better efficiency and performance for frame generation due to dedicated matrix acceleration. In contrast, Nvidia and AMD cards use a compute shader-based version that could deliver slightly lower image quality at a slightly higher cost in resources. Image 1 of 3 Image 2 of 3 Image 3 of 3 Despite the SDK's capability expansion, just 22 titles support XeSS 2 right now, according to Intel's own tracking, and to our knowledge, that number hasn't recently increased. Between the developer effort required to update games to the latest SDK and the slow uptake of XeSS 2 in general, it's possible that the real-world availability of XeSS 2.1 and its cross-platform benefits will be highly limited. Still, though, the fact that integrating the XeSS 2 SDK now enables framegen and low latency features across all GPU vendors could make it more appealing for developers who have to balance the time and resource investment of integrating these features against the expected user benefit. AMD's cross-platform support for upscaling and framegen support in its FSR 3.x suite of technologies have won wide adoption for those features, so we can only hope that developers see the same appeal in XeSS 2.1. As cutting-edge upscaling tech becomes increasingly vendor-locked (see FSR 4 and DLSS), Intel's cross-platform support for both upscaling and framegen could be an increasingly rare approach.

5 CPU and GPU combos for 4K gaming in 2025: Power without bottlenecks
If you're building a rig for 4K gaming in 2025, raw specs alone won't cut it. You need the right CPU and GPU pairing to avoid bottlenecks that waste performance and money. Your aim can be cinematic visuals at max settings or high-refresh 4K for competitive play. Irrespective of that, here are five CPU-GPU combos that actually make sense. At 4K, your GPU does the heavy lifting, but skimp on the CPU, and you'll still run into stutters in open-world and CPU-heavy titles. The 2025 baseline? CPUs with large L3 cache (like AMD's 3D V-Cache), GPUs with 16 GB+ VRAM, and support for DLSS 4 or Frame Generation. Every combo below is built for real-world results, not just synthetic scores. CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (16C/32T, 128 MB 3D V-Cache) GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5090 (32 GB VRAM, DLSS 4, Frame Gen) Why it works: Zero bottlenecks, maxed settings across all modern titles. Best future-proof combo right now. Average FPS @ 4K: 100–120+ Price (approx): ₹ 2,10,000– ₹ 2,30,000 CPU: Intel Core i9-14900KS (24C/32T, 6.2GHz boost) GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24 GB VRAM) Why it works: Handles gaming and workstation loads. Ideal for creators who game at 4K. Price (approx): ₹ 1,85,000– ₹ 2,10,000 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (8C/16T, 104 MB cache) GPU: RTX 4080 SUPER (16 GB VRAM) Why it works: Excellent gaming performance for the price. Cache-heavy CPU shines in most titles. Price (approx): ₹ 1,20,000– ₹ 1,40,000 CPU: Intel Core i7-14700K (20C/28T, 5.6GHz boost) GPU: RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (16GB VRAM) Why it works: Efficient combo for AAA titles at 4K with respectable headroom. Price (approx): ₹ 1,00,000– ₹ 1,20,000 CPU: Ryzen 9 9900X3D (12C/24T, 96MB cache) GPU: Radeon RX 8900 XTX (24GB VRAM) Why it works: Great for open-world and AMD-optimized titles. All-AMD setup with strong value. Price (approx): ₹ 1,20,000– ₹ 1,40,000 Game types: FPS and esports titles benefit from high frame rates; story-driven and open-world games gain more from cache and core count. Display: Match these with a 120Hz or 144Hz 4K panel for fluidity and zero tearing. Platform features: PCIe 5.0, DDR5, and AI upscaling (DLSS/FSR) are non-negotiable for longevity. Cooling and PSU: Use at least a 240mm AIO or premium air cooler. PSUs should be 850W+ (1000W for high-end combos). Getting 4K right means pairing power with balance. A great CPU and GPU combo makes all the difference, but so do updated BIOS, clean drivers, and decent airflow. Pro tip: don't overspend for the flex. Build around your actual needs, and your setup will age gracefully without leaving performance on the table.
