Intel today released the latest version of its Arc GPU Graphics Drivers. Version 101.6732 Beta comes with optimization for The Last of Us Part II Remastered. It also comes with a performance enhancement for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with up to 15% performance increases to be had with "balanced" settings at 1080p. Among the issues fixed with this release are lower than expected performance with Returnal in Arc A-series and B-series discrete GPUs; a game corruption seen with FragPunk on Core Ultra Series 2 integrated graphics; a display corruption seen with Plants vs. Zombies GOTY Edition in windowed mode; and intermittent game crashes seen with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered.
