Intel released a fresh update to its Arc GPU Graphics Drivers today. The newest version, 101.6734 WHQL, builds upon the earlier 101.6732 Beta release with just a few important changes. The first change helps handheld gaming devices that use Core Ultra 200V "Lunar Lake" processors manage power better. This means better performance for games running on devices like the new MSI Claw. The second fix addresses a problem where games might not show all possible screen resolutions in settings menus on some laptops running Core Ultra series two processors.
The update comes with several known problems that Intel has identified. For Arc B-Series Graphics users, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 might crash during loading screens, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 can show flickering during gameplay, Returnal might crash when ray tracing is turned on, Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 can display water incorrectly, MLPerf might have errors on systems with multiple GPUs, SPECapc for Maya 2024 might freeze, and PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 could crash during testing. Users with Arc A-Series Graphics might experience Returnal crashing with ray tracing on, darker shadows in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign mode, Topaz Gigapixel AI crashing when exporting images, and PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 crashing during benchmark tests. People using Core Ultra Series 1 computers with built-in Arc GPUs might see errors in PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 when using the Extended preset. Finally, Core Ultra Series 2 users could notice corruption in videos made with Adobe Premiere Pro after 8K AV1 encoding and errors in PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 with the Extended preset.
