This video demonstrates how unofficial fixes now let Intel Arc handhelds run XeSS upscaling and frame generation on XMX engines under Steam OS instead of the DP4A path, and what that means for real-world gaming performance. It walks through setup using the Claw Deck GitHub project and then tests several titles at different settings and power levels.
