If the purpose is to say you can get near 4K quality while rendering at 1080p, then where's the native 4K image so we can compare how good the thing actually is?

"Intel elected to upload the video in only 1080p quality; however, the company has committed to updating the upload with 4K streaming quality, which should make it easier to see Intel's tech and its image quality repercussions in finer detail. "

Ya gotta love Intel - deliberately softening/blurring that 1080p footage!

This drive to push upscalers on us is concerning. It won't be long before someone uses this as hidden tech in order to 'speed up' rendering against the competition...always ON? - no thank you, the user must make that choice!

Is it that or does 1080 blown up to 4k just look like that without an upscaler?
I mean what's the point to upscale to 4k if you don't have a 4k display.

It's not the resolution of the video I'm concerned about. It's that they're giving us renderings of a 1080p native image and a 4K XeSS image, but they don't give us the 4K native image of the game itself. I've no doubts that you can pretty up a 1080p native image. But if you're going to imply you can get near 4K native quality, then provide a 4K native image.

If you render something at 4k and then downscale to a lower resolution you can drastically reduce the amount of aliasing for very straight edges.

This is superior to all forms of anti-aliasing in terms of quality, although you do take a massive fps hit.

Sure, but the images still serve a purpose. Does upscaled look better than native 1080p? Then you're getting better image quality with basically the same performance. There are 2 ways to look at these upscaling technologies. Similar image quality with better frame rates, or better image quality with the same frame rate.
