DLSS, FSR or XeSS in Small Spaces: what to choose and how many FPS
Small Spaces supports XeSS. On the GeForce RTX 4060 at 1440p high: 44–65 FPS native, 60–89 FPS with XeSS Quality and 81–120 FPS with XeSS Performance (FPSHQ model).
Official support: Small Spaces spec
What the GPU vendors confirmed themselves: the game name in the source, the link and the record date (FPSHQ snapshot Oct 9, 2026).

FPS in Small Spaces with and without upscaling model estimate
1440p, high settings. For each GPU — the best technology the game offers on it.
| GPU | Best choice | Native | Quality | Balanced | Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GeForce GTX 1660 Super | XeSS | 19–30 | 26–40 | 30–46 | 36–54 |
| GeForce RTX 3060 | XeSS | 38–57 | 52–77 | 60–89 | 71–105 |
| GeForce RTX 4060 | XeSS | 44–65 | 60–89 | 69–105 | 81–120 |
| Radeon RX 7600 | XeSS | 37–55 | 50–74 | 58–85 | 69–105 |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | XeSS | 69–105 | 92–140 | 105–160 | 120–190 |
FPSHQ model with a CPU limit: the gain from upscaling cannot exceed the CPU limit.

XeSS is not in the table: Intel changed the mode ratios between versions, and the XeSS version differs from game to game.
What to choose in Small Spaces
- Intel Arc: XeSS works best on Intel’s own graphics cards.
- If FPS barely grows, you are CPU-bound: lower view distance and object density; an upscaler will not help here.
Real player measurements
There are not enough player measurements with upscaling in Small Spaces yet — we show the model. Measure your PC with the FPSHQ app: measurements with DLSS/FSR are counted separately.

How we calculate
DLSS, FSR and XeSS support comes from the official NVIDIA, AMD and Intel lists (each record has a link and date in the “Official support” block); for games without an official record — from the FPSHQ catalog. Internal resolution follows NVIDIA’s (DLSS) and AMD’s (FSR 2/3) official scale factors.
FPS is the single FPSHQ model; the upscaling gain uses the model’s average factors for Quality, Balanced and Performance, capped by the CPU. It is a model, not a measurement in a specific game.
Player measurements with an upscaler (FPSHQ app for Windows) are stored separately from native ones and will appear on the page once there is a sample.
DLSS, FSR or XeSS in Small Spaces: what to choose and how many FPS
Yes. Intel lists “Small Spaces” in its official list: XeSS 2 (list dated Sep 3, 2026). XeSS works best on Intel Arc graphics cards.
