The brand new Intel graphics card drivers have arrived. Though these don’t present an actual efficiency achieve, they nonetheless appropriate a number of issues within the recreation. Nevertheless, different issues nonetheless stay.

Slowly, however absolutely, Intel is catching up within the graphics card section. If the A750 card is struggling to draw the general public, the model has not mentioned its final phrase. Thus, just lately, the latter launched the ARC A580, a GPU with a horny high quality/worth ratio, in an effort to compete with NVIDIA’s RTX 3050.
Furthermore, Intel recurrently releases drivers to enhance compatibility and efficiency of his playing cards. A worthwhile technique, since earlier Intel drivers allowed the ARC A770 and A750 to show notable efficiency positive factors. Furthermore, the agency has simply printed a brand new driver (31.0.101.4953), which might be obtained now.
To do that, merely go to the model’s web site. Additionally it is potential to make use of the Intel DSA (Driver & Assist Help) platform to routinely obtain the brand new drivers.
Optimizations reasonably than enhancements
With out shock, the most recent driver devoted to Intel Arc and Iris Xe GPUs corrects a number of issues inflicting bugs in numerous video games. Amongst them, we discover some flagship video games of this finish of the 12 months, like Alan Wake 2 or Starfield:
- Starfield (DX12) could show coloration flickering within the sky throughout evening scenes.
- Alan Wake 2 (DX12) could show defects on water and reflective surfaces
- Halo: The Grasp Chief Assortment (DX11) could carry out worse than the Xbox Recreation Move model
- World Battle Z (DX11) could carry out worse than the Epic Video games Retailer model
As well as, Intel additionally confirmed the invention of different technical points. Ghostrunner 2 and Useless By Daylight are each affected by surprising crashes. For his half, Starfield nonetheless suffers from a dynamic decision bug. Nevertheless, Intel specifies that the issue might be mounted by modifying the worth of the rendering resolutions.
Sadly, the agency has not introduced any actual efficiency achieve following this replace. So do not anticipate to realize further FPS this time. As software program enchancment has its limits, we’ll as an alternative have to show to Intel’s Battlemage GPUs, deliberate for 2024, to take a step ahead.
