Intel has just released a new driver update for its Arc lineup of GPUs. That wouldn’t normally be worth shouting about, but this driver reportedly delivers an average uplift of 30% across a long list of DirectX 11 titles, and it’s nu este primul șofer care a adus astfel de îmbunătățiri fie.

driver 31.0.101.5234 (certificat WHQL). provides a massive 268% increase in average FPS in Just Cause 4 at 1080p and 160% in Just Cause 3 at 1080p. That does skew the 30% overall average, but some of the other gains are still impressive. A couple of notable examples include Apex Legends improving by an average of 26% at 1080p with Ultra settings, while Assassin’s Creed Syndicate gets a 13% improvement.

Pe lângă îmbunătățirile de performanță DX11, noul driver adaugă suport pentru noi titluri, inclusiv Enshrouded, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Tekken 8 și Palworld.

Jocurile DX12 primesc și ele puțină dragoste, cu performanța Returnal îmbunătățindu-se cu până la 8%. The Last Of Us Part 1 vede o creștere similară cu 8% a performanței medii FPS.

Iată lista completă de jocuri:

Multe dintre aceste câștiguri sunt la 1080p, care este locul în care limitările CPU sunt mai evidente. Acest lucru indică reducerea cheltuielilor generale la fel de mult ca orice altceva. Dacă utilizați acest driver, îmbunătățirile dvs. de performanță pot varia.

Alongside performance improvements, the driver fixes some issues with Alan Wake 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the Talos Principle 2. The latter only applies to Core Ultra CPUs. That’s no less important though, given variants of these CPUs will să-și găsească drumul în dispozitivele portabile pentru jocuri.

Intel’s Arc GPUs didn’t set the world on fire when they launched, but full credit to Intel for really persevering with driver development. One can only imagine how different the reception of cards like the Arcul A750 și A770 would have been had Intel come out of the gate with these optimizations. It’s not like building a gaming graphics card driver is child’s play though, so I won’t judge Intel too harshly.

What will really matter is whether these optimizations are incorporated into drivers for Intel’s next generation Battlemage GPU family. We can only hope Intel will give AMD and Nvidia a kick up the butt. Healthy competition from Battlemage is something toți jucătorii ar trebui să spere.

Driverul 31.0.101.5234 acceptă plăci grafice Intel Arc seria A, grafică integrată Iris Xe (de la generația a 11-a în sus) și procesoare Core Ultra cu grafică Arc integrată.
