Cyberpunk was just bad, its issues couldn't be chalked to Nvidia or anyone but CD Projekt themselves. It launched in a horribly broken state and it left a terrible taste in my mouth. Not sure if you ever saw crowbcat's video on Cyberpunk, as comically awful as it sounds today, every bit of it was true back when it first came out. I never finished or even returned to the game, even though I constantly hear that it's improved plenty. On the other hand, Starfield has been everything I wanted out of Cyberpunk and a little more
As with every new player, Intel's GPU will have some kinks. To their credit, however, they are constantly working, improving, iterating on their software and creating a solid base faster than anyone else. I think they are worthy of being given more than a fair chance, they fully deserve our support. People buying Arc today are largely aware of this, Intel has made no effort to hide that their first-generation product is under heavy development. I don't know about you but if Intel has a good driver for it by the game's official launch in two days as they've promised, then I'm more than happy to let it slide. It's not like the Nvidia driver is super performant (despite working correctly) and AMD unsurprisingly has admitted their driver is broken at launch and listed open issues for the game from the get go.
Agreed. But ultimately, not Intel's fault either.
