Intel has released the latest version of its Arc GPU Graphics Drivers, the version 101.6319 Beta. Surprisingly, the product compatibility list still does not include support for the new Arc Battlemage B500 series graphics cards, so we expect yet another driver release when they become officially available. It also does not fix any bugs, and the known issues list is the same as with the previous WHQL drivers release. On the other hand, the Arc GPU Graphics Drivers version 101.6319 Beta adds Game On Drivers support for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, Marvel Rivals, and Path of Exile 2 on Intel Arc A-series GPUs and Intel Core Ultra with built-in Intel Arc GPUs.

Intel today released the latest version of its Arc GPU Graphics Drivers. Version 101.6314 WHQL don't seem to include support for Arc "Battlemage" B500 series GPUs yet (which will probably go live with the product availability). There's no Game On game-optimization payload, either. The release, however, fixes a handful important issues. For Arc A-series "Alchemist" discrete GPUs, lower than expected performance in Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve Studio, has been fixed. For Core Ultra processors with Arc Graphics, the drivers fix texture corruption on water surfaces in "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6." They also fix texture corruption issues with "Minecraft Bedrock" that show up when changing antialiasing settings.

Intel late Friday released the latest version of the Arc GPU Graphics drivers. Version 101.6078 WHQL is essentially the same set of drivers as the 101.6077 Beta drivers Intel released on September 18, but with the added WHQL signing. As such the drivers don't introduce any new Game On optimization from 101.6077 Beta, which had them for "Dead Rising Deluxe" Remaster, "Final Fantasy XVI," "Frostpunk 2," and "God of War Ragnarök," nor do these drivers introduce any fixes from the previous release. The "known issues" list, which lets you know if Intel has identified a new issue that will be fixed in a future driver release, remains the same for Arc A-series discrete GPUs, but has been expanded for Arc integrated graphics found with Core Ultra processors. Grab the drivers from the link below.

NVIDIA today released the latest version of its GeForce Game Ready drivers. These come just in time for today's earth-shattering new AAA game release, "Black Myth: Wukong." Over 2 million players are already at it. Besides this, the driver also includes optimization for "Star Wars Outlaws," "Final Fantasy XVI," "Concord," and "Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2." The patch also fixes an issue that breaks Octane Benchmark. Grab the drivers and head to ancient China!

Black Myth: Wukong is seeing a thunderous worldwide opening today (August 20). Steam Charts by SteamDB, a service that tracks and aggregates public information on concurrent players for games on Steam, measured over 1.73 million concurrent players for the game on Steam, breaking a previous record held by Valve's homebrew Dota 2. Steam is only one of three other platforms the game released in, with the others being Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X/S, so the actual concurrent player count could only be higher. The action fantasy RPG is based on the 16h century Chinese epic "Journey to the West," and introduces a richly detailed ancient China. The game is known to also introduce several new combat mechanics.

Even as close to 2 million people are discovering the game, neither NVIDIA nor AMD have put out optimized drivers for the game as of this writing. Intel released the Arc 101.5971 Beta drivers with optimization for the game as of August 19. While AMD has put up a driver page for Adrenalin 24.8.1 WHQL, the download link on that page goes to the previous month's driver. Looks like someone failed at copy and paste.

A few batches of GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards are based on the 5 nm "AD103" silicon, a significantly larger chip than the "AD104" that powers the original RTX 4070. A reader has reached out to us with a curiously named MSI RTX 4070 Ventus 3X E 12 GB OC graphics card, saying that TechPowerUp GPU-Z wasn't able to detect it correctly. When we took a closer look at their GPU-Z submission data, we found that the card was based on the larger "AD103" silicon, looking at its device ID. Interestingly, current NVIDIA drivers, such as the 552.22 WHQL used here, are able to seamlessly present the card to the user as an RTX 4070. We dug through older versions of GeForce drivers, and found that the oldest driver to support this card is 551.86, which NVIDIA released in early-March 2024.

The original GeForce RTX 4070 was created by NVIDIA by enabling 46 out of 60 streaming multiprocessors (SM), or a little over 76% of the available shaders. To create an RTX 4070 out of an "AD103," NVIDIA would have to enable 46 out of 80, or just 57% of the available shaders, and just 36 MB out of the 64 MB available on-die L2 cache. The company would also have to narrow the memory bus down to 192-bit from the available 256-bit, to drive the 12 GB of memory. The PCB footprint, pin-map, and package size of both the "AD103" and "AD104" are similar, so board partners are able to seamlessly integrate the chip with their existing AD104-based RTX 4070 board designs. End-users would probably not even notice the change until they fire up diagnostic utilities and find them surprised.
