Intel Arc Drivers Bring Significant GPU Performance Boost in Assassin’s Creed Unity & Other AAA Titles

Intel Latest Game On Driver For Arc GPUs Add Support For Jagged Alliance 3 & Exoprimal 1

Intel has released a new driver for its Arc GPUs, intending to optimize the performance within several games and provide support for further titles.

The BETA driver 31.0.101.4514 brings Intel's Game-On support for two new titles, AEW: Fight Forever and Layers of Fear. Supporting such titles is part of Intel's plan to expand its technologies to several AAA titles, ultimately challenging DLSS and FSR. Besides new support, the driver also brings a considerable performance boost to the relatively old Assassin’s Creed Unity based on DX11 API.

Intel aims to have its Arc GPUs optimized for older titles based on DX11, and the performance figures disclosed by Intel undoubtedly demonstrate the intention. Intel has also shared statistics for newer DX12 titles, which you can take a look at below:

Intel is also trying to make its XeSS AI upscaling compatible with several popular titles. The business recently revealed that the technology is now included in over 50 games, offering high-performance enhancements to several titles. Intel takes its GPU division seriously, so we have seen continuous driver updates and improvements since the beginning such as the last one which also brought in double-digit performance improvements across various titles.
