Intel Releases Arc GPU Graphics Drivers 101.5989 Beta
Intel over the weekend released the latest version of Arc GPU Graphics Drivers. Version 101.5989 Beta comes with Game-On optimization for "Arena Breakout: Infinite," "Deadlock," "NBA 2K25," "Test Drive: Unlimited Solar Crown," and "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2." The drivers should prove especially important for "Deadlock," where Intel claims performance improvements of up to 17% at 1080p, and up to 13% at 1440p. In "Test Drive: Unlimited Solar Crown," you can expect up to 19% performance improvements in both the 1080p and 1440p resolutions. "Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2" players can expect up to 7% performance improvements at 1080p, and up to 8% improvements at 1440p. Intel hasn't included any fixes with this release, but identified a handful new issues. Grab the drivers from the link below.

But if they do shut down ARC, it'll be very disheartening honestly. Considering how AMD so far hasn't been able to capitalise properly and increase their marketshare, having a 3rd player in the GPU market that would actually have a chance of being disruptive for Nvidia later on if Battlemage succeeds, Intel would be foolish to shut down ARC.
Notice how once again nothing from Gen 12.1 gets any sort of fix.
