Intel Arc graphics drivers are up 19% in some games one month on but it’s not all good

As we reported earlier this month, Intel has released a driver update for its Arc graphics with various performance improvement claims. But does the driver update deliver? PC World has taken a look and found some moderate, if mixed, improvements along with one game where performance actually regresses. (opens in new tab)

PC World tested the top Intel Arc A770 (opens in new tab) board using both the original launch driver and the latest updated release. Staring at the top, performance in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p Ultra (we assume without ray tracing enabled) performance improves by five percent from 52fps to 55fps. At 1440p Ultra, again it’s a circa five percent bump from 41fps to 43fps.
