Intel Arc GPU Graphics Drivers 101.6913 WHQL Released

Intel today released the latest version of the Arc GPU Graphics Drivers. Version 101.6913 WHQL comes with optimization for “Mecha BREAK.” The release also fixes a handful of issues. For Intel Arc B-series “Battlemage” discrete GPUs, a couple of issues are fixed. A bug that causes “Returnal” to experience an application crash during gameplay with ray tracing enabled, has been fixed. An intermittent application freeze with SPECapc for Maya 2024 during benchmark, has been fixed. The release also fixes a bug specific to the Arc “Battlemage” iGPUs of Core Ultra 200-series “Lunar Lake” processors, specifically, “Valorant” being unable to enumerate supported resolutions in game settings.

Game ReadyFixed Issues:
Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products:

• Returnal (DX12) may experience an application crash during gameplay with ray tracing settings turned on.
• SPECapc for Maya 2024 may experience intermittent application freeze during benchmark.

Intel Core Ultra Series 2 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

• Valorant (DX11) may fail to enumerate supported resolutions in game settings.

Known Issues:
Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products:

• Fortnite may experience an application crash when “Performance – Lower Graphical Fidelity” is selected as Rendering Mode. Recommendation is to use default Rendering Mode – DX12.
• Visual corruptions may appear in certain scenarios with multiple application interactions.
• Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 (DX12) may exhibit corruptions on water areas in certain scenarios.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 may experience an application crash while running the benchmark.
• HWiNFO may incorrectly report number of Xe Cores for certain Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products.

Intel Arc A-Series Graphics Products:

• Fortnite may experience an application crash when “Performance – Lower Graphical Fidelity” is selected as Rendering Mode. Recommendation is to use default Rendering Mode – DX12.
• Returnal (DX12) may experience an application crash during gameplay with ray tracing settings turned on.
• Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (DX12) may experience an application crash with ray tracing and XeSS enabled.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 may experience an application crash while running the benchmark.

Intel Core Ultra Series 1 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

• Fortnite may experience an application crash when “Performance – Lower Graphical Fidelity” is selected as Rendering Mode. Recommendation is to use default Rendering Mode – DX12.
• Adobe Premiere Pro may fail to import video. Mitigation is to use Intel NPU Driver version 32.0.100.3717 or lower.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 may experience errors intermittently with benchmark preset set to Extended.

Intel Core Ultra Series 2 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

• Fortnite may experience an application crash when “Performance – Lower Graphical Fidelity” is selected as Rendering Mode. Recommendation is to use default Rendering Mode – DX12.
• Adobe Premiere Pro may fail to import video. Mitigation is to use Intel NPU Driver version 32.0.100.3717 or lower.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 may experience errors intermittently with benchmark preset set to Extended.
• PugetBench for Photoshop may experience errors while running the benchmark.
• Topaz Video AI may experience lower than expected performance.

Intel Graphics Software Fixed Issues:

• Profile controls may not always supersede global controls.

Intel Graphics Software Known Issues:

• When using the settings, preferences, reset all settings option in Windows 10 the application may experience an intermittent crash.
• Settings can be reset from individual pages without issue.
• Intel Graphics Software may sometimes experience a single application crash on the first re-arrange of metrics within the select metrics window. Subsequent usage will not be affected by this crash again.
• FPS Limiter may not limit FPS with VSync ON and Low Latency Mode enabled.
• The Settings page may incorrectly report certain hardware information for systems with Built-in Intel Graphics.

Intel Graphics Software Performance Tuning (BETA):

• Intel Graphics Software Performance Tuning is currently in Beta. As such, performance and features may behave unexpectedly. Intel will continue to refine the Performance Tuning software in future releases.
• In multi-GPU scenarios with two performance tuning capable devices, the performance tuning page may attempt to apply changes to one or more devices at once rather than individually based on the GPU selector.
