Windows 11 Auto SR will benefit video games as well as classic games

This would be the first time Windows has included an AI-based scaling feature. Until now, graphics card manufacturers have offered this functionality through AI upscaling technologies that help increase the effective frames per second delivered by a video game. However, what's different is that upgrading Windows 11 can also smooth out other apps, such as media players, web browsers, and older games that don't support FSR or Modern DLSS.

For now, the feature is available on machines equipped with Nvidia RTX graphics cards. However, since it is compatible with NPUs, it should also run on Intel's latest Core Ultra processors. Microsoft is expected to release Windows 11 24H2 Update in the second half of this year. Apart from AI scaling, the upcoming update will also bring other features including multiple AI capabilities to the device.
