...thereby positioning Intel as a contender against AMD and Nvidia.

Yeah, right! https://i.imgur.com/OHUs8Nh.png

You could say that picture would be mean and false, as Intel certainly has achieved some developmental steps. On the other hand, even on their best integrated graphics in notebooks, you can't play new UE5 titles due to missing hardware support for some DirectX/SM features. Kinda shocking.

Are those antilag features really important? considering most of conpetitive games are network based, is nvidia reflex improving what? i enabled it in world of warcraft i don't notice anything

well, afaik MMORPGs arent really benefit from that. Competitive FPS played by professionals is where that thing belong.

Are you GPU limited? If not, it doesn't need to do anything.

This is great news and awesome to see Intel gpu's getting better and better as i have experienced thru all the latest drivers updates on my Asrock arc a750. Massive improvement was seen on the latest beta driver released a few days ago. We definitely need this third player on the gpu world as it breaks the duopoly from nvidia and amd. This is great news for everyone and i definitely can recomend Intel ARC gpu's at this point in time for anyone looking for a good gpu upgrade without braking the bank.

Looking forward to their next gen of hardware, hopefully something in the upper mid range competing with the Nvidia 70-80 series.
