The same percentage improvement was also seen at 1440p, which shows that this is a genuine gain from the new drivers, albeit a very small one. This was already a really strong title for Intel’s Arc GPUs, so it’s probably unsurprising that there was no massive change here. At 1080p, we saw no significant change in performance, as the results with the newer drivers were improved by just 2%. The first title examined was Rainbow Six Extraction, one that Intel made no specific performance claims for.

Some have been promoted by Intel as receiving a specific boost, whereas others not mentioned at all are simply part of our usual benchmark array. In total, we’ve tested 12 games at 1080p and 1440p. The rest of the system setup comprised the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with 32 GB of dual-rank, dual-channel DDR4-3200 CL14 memory on the Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme motherboard. GPU Parametersįor the gaming tests, all GPUs were run at the official clock specifications, so no factory overclocking. We’ll pay close attention to how well the Arc A770 fares against the AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, as these GPUs are either closely matched in price or they’ve been used in Intel’s marketing materials for performance-per-cost comparisons.
