The chip giant continues to improve the Intel Arc family of drivers, and on this occasion the 101.5234 WHQL drivers have been significantly renewed as they offer performance improvements, It can reach up to 268%. The average improvement is not that high since we are talking about 37%, but this number is also impressive because at the end of the day we are talking about a performance increase through drivers that Intel graphics users will be able to enjoy at no cost.
In my opinion, the most important thing is not only the increase in performance that Intel has achieved with the new drivers, but the fact that with this move it shows that it does not plan to throw in the towel in the GPU sector, and They continue to work on improving the user experience and performance of its products, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by all those who have trusted their Arc graphics cards and who have purchased or are planning to purchase a unit.
