Intel has just rolled out its latest beta graphics driver for Arc GPUs, taking it up to version 101.6077. While this new release focuses on enhancing gaming performance and stability, particularly for several popular titles, it is a beta release, so unless you’re playing these games, it’s worth waiting for the next non Beta release for most users.
Intel gamers can now enjoy “Game Ready” optimizations for the games listed below. The update also addresses visual glitches that were plaguing certain games. Players of “The Last of Us Part I” and “Age of Empires IV” should notice a reduction in graphical corruption issues. There are still a few known issues that Intel is working to address. These include crashes in Diablo IV and Doom Eternal, as well as stability problems with Blender and Topaz Video AI. Intel Core Ultra systems with built-in Arc GPUs also have specific issues with games like Fortnite and Enshrouded.

- Final Fantasy XVI
- Frostpunk 2
