Intel has been continually honing its drivers to solve this problem. It appears that Intel has gone back to the drawing board by removing its GPU’s native DX9 support and opting for an open-source mapping layer capable of translating the instructions for DX9 instructions into DX12 ones. Intel was quick to say “our bad” and has made good on this performance issue with regular driver updates. Intel’s new GPUs have simply been left out of the conversation. The root of the problem is that many games were designed with Nvidia and AMD in mind with DirectX API using the GPU driver and Microsoft to handle memory management. The DirectX suite of Microsoft APIs is essential for gaming on Microsoft platforms and handles key tasks required for optimal graphic performance. Intel was quick to identify the problem as API related, with the ARC GPU struggling to keep up with required frame rates for games that used Microsoft’s DirectX 12, DirectX11, and DirectX9 APIs. Older PC games took a massive performance hit. When Lisa Pearce, CVP and GM, of the Client Graphics Group at Intel emphasized that these new cards would deliver great performance on modern titles, no one was expecting the painfully poor performance that this GPU delivered with favorites like Starcraft 2 or CounterStrike: Global Offensive. 12:44 am GMT Post-Release Performance Issues for the Intel Arc With a starting price of just $329 for the A770 and A750, many gamers sat up and listened. Intel proposed that their chips would lower the price ceiling on gaming cards without compromising the smooth performance serious gamers expect. It’s clear Intel had hoped for big things with the Intel Arc driver, developing an authentic alternative to the GPU behemoths of Nvidia GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards. Intel Arc: A Competitively Priced Alternative GPU In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the Intel Arc GPU and how its native DirectX 9 update is speeding up bestselling games. So far, so true, with the Intel Arc driver update making old DX9 games faster. They threw down the gauntlet, claiming that the Intel Arc GPUs could take on gaming heavyweights like Nvidia and AMD, promising that they would keep their card nimble with regular driver updates.
Intel has continued its advance into the consumer gaming market with the release of Intel Arc A Series graphics cards in early 2022.
