How does this even occur if we have defined graphics APIs and developers, manufacturers (supposedly) adhere to those APIs?

I had the same thought, I can understand optimisations being a thing for game-specific drivers, but for it to not render properly at all is...bizarre.

Exactly this! I remember when graphics cards had only one driver that came on a CD. Why does every game need day-1 drivers now? With proper game development, we shouldn't need those.

It's like back in days some lazy web designers were only using Internet Explorer, so sites didn't work in other browsers. Same way as modern web designers proudly calling themselves front-end developers and only using Chrome and its non-standardized APIs. It's not a job of drivers or browser developers to make special hacks for every single game or site.

Nowadays, who is responsible for a game to run, given there is a standard (DX12): the GPU manufacturers and their respective drivers which adhere to the standard or the "well-known" gaming studio who has a history of "complete and working" releases?

Sucks to be an early adopter of unproven technology from a company new to this particular market segment, but people who bought Intel graphics cards must have realized they're the beta testers, just as people who buy early access or preorder games. As Americans say, it is what it is. At least Intel has a lot of money to throw at a PR problem so they'll probably sort it out quickly.

Um, did you miss the last few comments? Literally the one right above yours is Solaris talking about it working for his ARC A770. Intel has taken this challenge in stride. You may have made this comment from the front page.

Benchmark Scores Nyooom.
This goes to show how little the game devs actually tried - it's like they only had two PC's to test their game on, and they were both AMD GPU's


Intel should have been able to send them a GPU or receive a copy of the game long before this... or the devs just buying a single intel Arc GPU of any kind.

um, well I wrote my comment on that forgetting to quote.
Meaning, that I am curious on some benchmark results from pages like TPU
Simple announcement from any company means nothing to me.
I am interested in the user's reaction in this case.
