Microsoft Auto Super Resolution tested: a new AI upscaler has arrived
Digital Foundry reviews Microsoft Auto SR - an AI upscaler that can work with any game.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite has severe driver issues resulting in generally poor performance and while the PRISM CPU translation layer allowing x86 code to run on ARM looks impressive, no support for AVX instructions means many games won't even load. Borderlands 3 may have been chosen as a 'best case scenario' by Microsoft from its supported titles owing to a bright, vibrant, distinct art style, but as you can see from the images on this page, there is no doubt whatsoever that the AI model can deliver substantially improved detail that seemingly did not exist before.
