Questions about new XeSS compatibility

CrilAR — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 04:45:51 GMT

I heard the XeSS 3 is now supported with the driver 8425_8362. So now i do have few questions..

1. Is XeSS MFG only available for new iGpus or are there gonna be compatibility for Xe1 and Xe2 Cards?

2. I saw someone play Cyberpunk 2077 with MFG on XeSS 2. So If MFG is XeSS 3 when override is choosen and the game is in XeSS 2 is it considered XeSS 3 if so why?

3. Did XeSS 3 had any improvements except MFG technology? Like sharpness imrovements or less ghosting?

4. Is there any XeSS 3 games out right now? Or the XeSS 3 is simply just XeSS 2 with an Override MFG tech from drivers?

There are just questions in my head sorry for opening lots of cases at once.
