Intel has released the latest version of its Arc GPU Graphics drivers, the version 101.6130 Beta. The new driver update brings Game On support on Intel Arc A-series GPUs and Intel Core Ultra CPUs with Intel Arc GPUs for a couple of new games including Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, REDACTED, and Red Dead Redemption. According to Intel, the initial game launch load times for Dragon Age: The Veilguard are significantly improved on Intel Core Ultra Series 2 CPUs with built-in Intel Arc GPUs, which lead to a temporary increase in Graphics Driver package size.

The new Intel Arc GPU Graphics Drivers 101.6130 Beta also increases gaming performance in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered by up to 6 percent on average at 1080p resolution and Very High settings. Unfortunately, Intel did not fix any previously seen bugs, so there is still an extensive list of known issues with both the drivers and the Arc Control.
