Intel today released the latest version of its Arc GPU Graphics Drivers, 101.8974 WHQL. The update delivers optimizations for three game titles. For Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with Arc‑branded integrated graphics, Assassin's Creed Valhalla sees a 7 % uplift at 1080p on medium settings and 11 % on high. Farming Simulator 2022 gains 13 % on medium and 9 % on high. Arc B‑series discrete GPUs receive a 5 % uplift for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II at 1080p ultra.

Beyond performance, the driver fixes several game‑specific issues. GTA V’s blurry items at very high or ultra post‑processing are resolved for Core Ultra Series 3 iGPUs, Arc B‑series, Arc A‑series, and the 1‑ and 2‑series Core Ultra processors. Forza Horizon 6 and Jurassic World Evolution 3 visual glitches are corrected across the same GPU lineup. Minecraft Java crashes triggered by CapFrameX or Riva Tuner are also eliminated for Core Ultra Series 3 and 2, 1, Arc B and A.

The update also addresses minor bugs such as reflection quality in Forza Horizon 6 and water effect flicker in Jurassic World Evolution 3, ensuring a more polished experience. Intel maintains its commitment to iterative driver releases, aiming to keep Arc GPUs competitive with discrete offerings.

Users can download the full update from TechPowerUp and expect smoother gameplay and higher frame rates across their Intel Arc hardware.
