Xbox Insiders Get AutoSR Upscaling Feature for Ally X Handheld Now

Story Summary

Microsoft has made the AutoSR upscaling technology available to Xbox insiders today for the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X. Utilizing the device's NPU rather than GPU cores, this driver-level feature aims to improve 1440p performance by approximately 30% while preserving detail. Initially restricted to users connecting the handheld to an external display due to bandwidth constraints, the technology targets DirectX-compatible games without requiring per-game implementation.
