Intel’s Latest Arc GPU Driver Boosts Support for Black Myth Wukong with Optimizations

Intel has rolled out its latest BETA driver for Arc GPUs, version 32.0.101.5971, adding support for Black Myth: Wukong and introducing several optimizations. This driver is a part of Intel’s ongoing efforts to enhance gaming experiences for Arc users, competing with similar updates from NVIDIA and AMD.

Key Features

The driver brings “Game On” support for three titles: Black Myth: Wukong, Hunt: Showdown 1896, and World of Warcraft: The War Within. This ensures these games run more smoothly on systems with Intel Arc GPUs, providing better performance and stability.

The driver also includes specific optimizations for Black Myth: Wukong, a visually demanding game that has been a major focus for GPU manufacturers due to its high-performance requirements.
