Support for Super Resolution is quite disparate.
Some games are compatible with DLSS but lack FSR or XeSS functionality.

It will be available as a public preview in the Agility SDK later this year.

Microsoft announced the DirectSR API in aDirectX Developer Blog post.
The company plans to give DirectSR a more detailed introduction on March 21st at GDC 2024.
Along with the DirectSR reveal, Microsoft will showcase its Work Graphs API and new toolkits for PIX.
