Intel Graphics has reportedly addressed the issue of high power-draw for its Arc A-series GPUs in multi-monitor setups.

The issue was initially observed with the older 101.4091 drivers that had a single-monitor idle power-draw of around 11 W, which would spike up to 40 W idle in multi-monitor setups. Intel has now quietly released the latest 101.4146 drivers, which have successfully addressed the multi-monitor idle power-draw. According to the company, the latest drivers now lower the power-draw down to "8 to 9 W" for multi-monitor setups, and "7 to 8 W" for single-monitor ones. This is a significant improvement and addresses one of the key issues highlighted in the launch-day review of the Arc A770 GPU.
