![]() Even though Intel Arc GPUs actually do ray tracing rather well, this is a heavy game that makes the RTX 4090 break a sweat. At Ultra with FSR 2 on Balanced, we’re not quite at 60 FPS, but the performance is smooth enough. Jumping into Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p, the Intel Arc continues to be fairly bug-free. Intel XeSS also provided some good results, making an otherwise unplayable setting much more palatable. ![]() Ray tracing worked as it should, performance penalty aside. Our first real-world game experience resulted in various sessions of smooth gaming, with no real bugginess to speak of in this particular game. Everything worked as you’d expect-menus loaded quickly, and there were no errant game crashes to report. It’s no surprise: Intel even had drivers at the ready for Hogwarts before AMD released its own recently-which is a good sign for Intel’s software. If you play at a more reasonable 1440p, the overall gaming experience is quite positive on Intel Arc for this game. Turning ray tracing on brings the FPS down below 30-but even then it was still consistently smooth. Compare this to the 4070 Ti 12GB’s 192-bit bus, which is quickly saturated and often results in poor performance at these resolutions. The extra VRAM on this Arc A770 16GB really helps at these resolutions-it’s also 256-bit bus width. What was most surprising was that it was all still very smooth-there were no aggressive FPS dips, stutters, or skipping about. ![]() Device Manager can also confirm by selecting the Intel Arc GPU in Display adapters, selecting Resources, and checking that Large Memory Range is there. (We can confirm that the Arc GPU will boot into the BIOS with DisplayPort in a different system)Īnother known issue some users may experience concerns Resizable BAR showing incorrectly in Intel Arc Control as “unsupported”-even when correct settings are applied, which can be confirmed as active in the free software GPU-Z. This may vary and be dependent on the interaction between a specific motherboard or BIOS, so you may have a different experience. DisplayPort worked fine when in Windows and had also worked in the BIOS when an Nvidia GPU was present with the same settings. On the Asus X670E Hero motherboard, the Intel Arc seemed to not display an image through DisplayPort when attempting a BIOS boot. Let’s discuss some issues that may still pop up for some. ![]()
