Intel Arc Graphics Drivers V101.4314 With Vulkan Video Extensions Support Released

Intel has released their latest ARC GPU graphics drivers version 101.4314

Arc Graphics Drivers Version 101.4314

The latest graphics driver update for Intel’s Arc Alchemist hasn’t brought support for any new games but has brought feature additions as well as fixed some issues and brought attention to several. This update has brought support for Vulkan Video Extensions hardware-accelerated H.265/AVC and H/265/HEVC decode and has fixed an issue where some USB audio devices are experiencing intermittent audio stuttering on specific system configurations.

This update is small but the known issues section is getting very big, I think someone should do something about that.

You can download the driver update here.
