Okay, maybe "need" in our headline is a bit extreme. Don't try telling that to folks who are having a bear of a time getting up and running smoothly in Starfield on their Arc A770 or other Alchemist-based graphics card, though.

Intel's efforts to improve its graphics drivers continue apace. We probably don't have to tell an audience of enthusiasts that Arc launched in a less than ideal state, and that lead to a sub-optimal first impression for the brand. Intel has been working hard ever since to correct course, and its regular driver...

Baldur's Gate III has just exited a lengthy early access period, and it already runs well on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs.

We're accustomed to seeing GPU driver updates delivering modest performance gains in games, and sometimes even big ones to the tune of a double-digit percentage jump of up to around 20 percent.

Graphics drivers are critically-important to the experience of using a GPU. When Intel's Arc launched with mediocre-to-poor drivers, that was a real complaint. The nice thing about drivers is that they're software, though, and that means it's easy to fix and replace. Intel's been hard at work on doing just that, with...
