Microsoft explains on its website: “Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR) seamlessly integrates with Windows on a Copilot+ PC with a Qualcomm® Snapdragon® X processor to automatically enhance a set of existing games by default, and boosts frame rates while maintaining detailed visuals. Auto SR functions by automatically lowering the game’s rendering resolution to increase framerate, then employs sophisticated AI technology to provide enhanced high-definition visuals. This results in a smoother, more detailed gaming experience. Auto SR is applied by default to a set of games verified by Microsoft. Examples of enhanced games include Borderlands 3, God of War, The Witcher 3, and more”.

- A Copilot+ PC with a Qualcomm® Snapdragon® X processor with Hexagon NPU and an integrated GPU.
- Windows 11, version 24H2 or later.
