Intel's Latest Driver Boosts Resident Evil Requiem FPS by Up to 31%, Arc GPUs Keep Improving

Summary

Intel has released WHQL driver 32.0.101.9150, delivering significant performance gains across several games. According to the release notes, Core Ultra 2 (Lunar Lake) integrated Arc GPUs see an average fps uplift of up to 31% in Resident Evil Requiem at 1080p medium settings, dropping to 29% on high settings. Other notable boosts include 18% for Assassin's Creed Shadows at 1080p high and 11% for Assassin's Creed Valhalla at 1080p high. Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) integrated GPUs get a 5% boost in F1 25 at 1080p medium. Arc B-series discrete cards gain 6% in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Monster Hunter Rise at 1440p high. While not as dramatic as the Lunar Lake gains, these improvements show continued optimization across the Arc stack. The article notes that Intel GPUs remain less consistent than Nvidia and AMD offerings, but the ongoing driver improvements are welcome, especially given that Arc cards are among the cheapest modern GPUs and have remained relatively stable in price despite the global memory shortage.
