Intel has recently launched the latest iteration of its Arc GPU Graphics Drivers, namely Version 101.4575 beta. This update brings several improvements and optimizations for gaming, as well as fixes for various issues.

 Notably, it introduces optimization support for "Exoprimal" and "Jagged Alliance 3" games. One significant enhancement is the improved performance for "League of Legends." Users can now experience a performance uplift of up to 6% at 1080p when utilizing the Very High settings preset. Moreover, at 1440p with the same preset, performance gains of up to 10% can be achieved. Among the addressed issues, this version resolves a problem where the "Halo Infinite" application would freeze or crash to the desktop after loading the game menu. Additionally, it rectifies display corruption observed in Dota 2 (DirectX 11) while streaming the game using XSplit Broadcaster in the Game Capture mode.
