Intel Arc GPU Graphics Drivers Update

Intel Releases Latest Arc GPU Graphics Drivers

On Friday, Intel released the newest version of the Arc GPU Graphics Drivers. Version 101.5590 WHQL includes Game On optimization for Destiny 2: The Final Shape and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. The drivers also improve performance for older Direct3D 11 and Direct3D 10 titles on Arc A-series discrete GPUs. For example, Chivalry 2 can see up to a 13% performance boost at 1080p with epic settings, while the original Crysis from 2007 can experience a 10% increase with very high settings. Similar performance enhancements are available for the Arc Series integrated graphics in Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" processors, with up to 16% improvements for Chivalry 2 and up to 6% for Crysis 2 from 2011. Additionally, an intermittent application crash with No Rest for the Wicked has been resolved.
