Bad start for dedicated graphics intel arc This was mainly due to the software arriving in a pathetic state, both in terms of the driver and the control panel. However, the company is trying to give back and leave a better taste in the mouth, and it should do better if it wants future generations to have a better commercial income. Through these efforts, we occasionally find important improvements, such as the new beta version of her driver.

According to Intel itself, beta version 31.0.101.4514 of its graphics driver brings several important improvements for specific games, among which stand out Assassin’s Creed: Unity, the continuation of the Ubisoft saga, which is built on DirectX 11 and which in its time stood out more for its bugs than for the quality of the game. Here we find a performance improvement of up to 271% with very high graphics settings and resolutions over 1080p and up to 313% with high quality over 1440p.

Another title whose performance has improved significantly, although not as dramatically, is F1 22, a game that supports DirectX 12 as an API. Here are the improvements up to 36% at 1080p with high graphics quality, up to 20% at 1440p with high graphics quality and up to 10% at 1080p, ultra-high graphics quality with ray tracing enabled.

The latest title to be highlighted by Intel is deathloop, which also uses DirectX 12 and whose performance is improved by up to 10% with ultra graphics settings at 1080p resolution and up to 8% at ultra high quality with 1440p resolution. On the other hand, the new Intel graphics driver beta supports AEW: Fight Forever and Layers of Fear.

Graphics driver beta version 31.0.101.4514 supports integrated graphics in 11th, 12th and 13th generation Intel Core, dedicated graphics family Intel Iris Xe (DG1) and graphics family Intel Arc (Alchemist). We remind you that the company has decided to supply the graphics driver for the latest generations of its processors and its dedicated graphics in a single package, with the aim of simplifying the support offered, which has become too fragmented due to the deep changes introduced to the technological level starting with the Xe architecture.

As a final detail, it is important to note that this is a beta driver, so it is assumed that it will not be ready for production. This means that despite the improvements provided, the user may encounter errors and other problems, so the consequences of using this driver remain his responsibility.
