Intel pushed out version 101.8824 Beta of its Arc GPU drivers today, adding a Game On optimization for the new “007: First Light” title. The update also tackles crashes that plagued several Call of Duty titles on Arc B‑series, A‑series, and integrated Core Ultra GPUs. Users can download the patch from Intel’s site today again.

Beyond Call of Duty, the beta fixes visual corruption in games like Pragmata, Resident Evil Requiem, Monster Hunter Wilds, HITMAN World of Assassination, and Street Fighter 6 across all Arc variants. It also resolves an intermittent crash in The Finals on Core Ultra 3. These fixes aim to smooth gameplay for the growing Arc user base in today for all players again.

Intel also alerts users to visual tearing when Frame Generation runs on any Arc GPU, recommending VSync to mitigate the issue. Additional bugs affect Marathon, Apex Legends, and Borderlands 4 on DX12, while certain benchmarks in Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve may crash without adjusting timeout settings. These adjustments help maintain stability across creative workflows.

With these patches, Intel signals its commitment to competitive performance against Nvidia and AMD, especially as gamers push newer titles. The driver update underscores the importance of timely fixes for GPU drivers, where a single glitch can ruin hours of play. Users should install the latest build to ensure smooth, crash‑free sessions for all players.
