That’s impressive.
If you can boost performance by 750% your drivers must have been absolute crap before.
It’s their first go at non-integrated GPUs. What did you expect?
S takes. Intel is a new player with a lot less experience creating drivers for dedicated gpus and gaming.
So it’s not about beeing “crap”.
It’s about beeing impressive that they still support their new linup while increasing the competition pressure on amd and nvidia. They are getting better and better with time, amd maybe at one point, or with next gen we’ll get competition forcing the 2 old ones to get better pricing.
They don’t have it implemented in silicon but use a translation layer. Of course it’s shit at first. And that’s ok.
There’s plenty of criticism for Intel as a whole, but their GPUs are an impressive first real attempt. If they continue to improve, we will have far more competition and the breaking of a duopoly. Which is a win for everyone.
Tell us more about how little you know about drivers and GPU performance
We most certainly need another GPU vendor to break that hegemony NVIDIA has on the market.
53% sounds like the new drivers are really good!
750% sounds like the old drivers were shit.
For DX11 the old drivers did have MAJOR problems. Maybe at 750% they’re almost good.
This is just for Intel Arc GPU’s, is it not?
Most intel driver news you’ll see will most certainly be about the ARC gpus. The integrated gpus not beeing that much worked on for performance and gaming.
The article claims:
“This graphics driver applies to both the Intel Arc series discrete GPUs and CPUs with onboard graphics from Intel 11th-gen Tiger Lake, Rocket Lake, and Tiger Lake-H up to 14th-generation CPUs,”
But I’m not sure if the uplifts noted would be seen in the iGPUs
I would think so just not to the same extent as a dgpu
