Intel’s still delivering excellent support for ARC A-series GPU owners

If you own an ARC A-series GPU, Intel just did you a solid. Intel are clearly still delivering new game optimisations for its old ARC A-series GPUs. Intel hasn’t abandoned its older graphics card. Honestly, it is good to see that Intel is still supporting its older products in this way. Earlier this month, Intel also added XeSS Multi-Frame Generation support to its A-series GPUs. No other GPU manufacturer has added multi-frame generation support to their older GPU generations.
