Intel delivers 5-119% performance gains in a huge list of titles with their latest ARC GPU drivers

Intel’s driver team has been working hard to optimise their graphics drivers, both for the latest releases and older titles. Today, Intel has released a new driver for their ARC A-Series and Xe integrated graphics that deliver tremendous performance gains in a huge list of titles. These gains range from 5% to 119%, and included new releases like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Forza Motorsport.

Back in August, Intel revealed that they had delivered 43% performance gain in DirectX 9 titles. Since then, team blue has worked hard to continue delivering stronger game performance with their ARC graphics drivers. Below, we have included a list of Intel’s ARC performance gains, which include 19% performance gains in Forza Motorsport, 37% gains in Payday 3, 88% performance gains in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, and 119% gains in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
