Intel Arc Graphics Driver Update Brings Another Batch of Performance Improvements

Intel has released the latest Intel Arc GPU Drivers version 101.4369 bringing even more performance improvements.

Intel Arc Graphics Drivers Ver. 101.4369

Intel’s Arc is still slowly seeing improvements with every driver update and today’s update has seen several tested performance improvements across three titles. The games tested were The Outlast Trials, The Lord of The Rings: Gollum and Minecraft Bedrock. The first of these two titles also received Game on Driver support alongside Starship Troopers: Extermination Early Access. Intel tested the three games at both 1080p and 1440p against the previous 101.4335 drivers and saw fair performance improvements.

• The Outlast Trials (DX12)
  • Up to 65% uplift at 1080p with Ultra settings
  • Up to 52% uplift at 1440p with High settings
• The Lord of the Rings: Gollum (DX12)
  • Up to 4% uplift at 1080p with Epic settings
  • Up to 11% uplift at 1440p with High settings
• Minecraft Bedrock (DXR)
  • Up to 30% uplift at 1080p with Ray Tracing enabled at 8 RT chunks
  • Up to 34% uplift at 1440p with Ray Tracing enabled at 8 RT chunks
  • Up to 28% uplift at 1440p with Ray Tracing enabled at 24 RT chunks

It’s good to see these improvements and I can’t wait to see what Intel has to offer with Battlemage, again Intel has also compared the performance of the A750 with the much pricier RTX 3060 seeing greater performance for a much lower price.

Fixed Issues:

The new update has provided fixes for two issues however there is still a large list of known issues

Intel Core Processor Products:

• Battlefield: 2042 (DX12) may exhibit colour corruption in the game menu
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (DX12) may experience colour corruption in Quick Play Lobby
