Intel heeft een nieuwe driver beschikbaar gesteld voor haar Arc-reeks aan videokaarten. Als eerste focust deze versie, Arc Graphics Driver 30.0.101.3268 BETA, op optimale prestaties voor Saints Row en Madden NFL 23.
- Intel Game On Driver support for Saints Row* and Madden NFL 23* on Intel Arc A-series Graphics.
Opvolgend brengt deze bèta-release een aanzienlijke lading aan fixes met zich mee. Deze focussen niet alleen op de mobiele Arc-GPU’s, maar ook op een betere ervaring met de discrete Arc A380. Zodoende zijn er problemen verholpen in diverse games, zoals Battlefield 2042, Halo Infinite, Horizon Zero Dawn, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Shadow of the Tomb Raider en Stray.
Daarbij is ook het probleem met Windows Update opgelost dat resulteerde in de installatie van een verkeerde driver. Naast games en Windows zijn ook allerlei euvels verholpen met Intel Arc Control en specifiek het Performance Tuning-onderdeel.
