Intel Arc GPU Graphics Drivers 101.6130 Beta

Intel has recently launched the latest version of its Arc GPU Graphics drivers, known as version 101.6130 Beta. This new driver update introduces Game On support for Intel Arc A-series GPUs and Intel Core Ultra CPUs with Intel Arc GPUs for several 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 have been significantly enhanced on Intel Core Ultra Series 2 CPUs with integrated Intel Arc GPUs, resulting in a temporary increase in the Graphics Driver package size.

The new Intel Arc GPU Graphics Drivers 101.6130 Beta also boosts gaming performance in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered by an average of up to 6% at 1080p resolution and Very High settings. However, Intel has not addressed any previously reported bugs, so there remains a long list of known issues with both the drivers and the Arc Control.
