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 ni prvi voznik s takšnimi izboljšavami bodisi.

O Gonilnik 31.0.101.5234 (WHQL Certified). 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.

Poleg izboljšav zmogljivosti DX11 novi gonilnik dodaja podporo za nove naslove, vključno z Enshrouded, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Tekken 8 in Palworld.

Tudi igre DX12 dobijo nekaj ljubezni, saj se zmogljivost Returnal izboljša za do 8 %. The Last Of Us Part 1 vidi podobno 8-odstotno povečanje povprečne zmogljivosti FPS.

Tukaj je celoten seznam iger:

Veliko teh izboljšav je pri 1080p, kjer so omejitve procesorja bolj očitne. To kaže na zmanjšanje režijskih stroškov tako kot kar koli drugega. Če zgrabite ta gonilnik, se lahko vaše izboljšave zmogljivosti razlikujejo.

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 najdejo pot do igralnih dlančnikov.

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 Luk A750 in 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 vsi igralci iger bi morali upati.

Gonilnik 31.0.101.5234 podpira grafične kartice Intel Arc serije A, integrirano grafiko Iris Xe (od 11. generacije naprej) in procesorje Core Ultra z integrirano grafiko Arc.
