Intel’s Issues
Intel is notorious for optimizing their GPUs for the newer and fancier APIs. Many games still use older APIs such as DX11, DX10 and DX9 despite being dated. DX12 does provide much more headroom for additional graphical fidelity, however, at the cost of stability. Intel has offered 3 tiers of optimization depending upon the API used: You can read more about this here.
The Extensive Testing
Intel released their latest driver on the 19th of August claiming to have fixed many ‘visual’ and ‘technical’ problems. The results you see below feature an older driver (17th August). Some games need massive improvements such as Spider-Man Remastered. However, Intel’s Beta driver has ‘reportedly’ fixed all such visual and RTX-related issues. Chipzilla still has miles to go before their software is able to compete against the top dogs from the GPU division.
Release Date
These GPUs are expected to launch sometime around Q3 2022 (1 month left). Can Intel deliver its promise? Only time will tell. Until then, keep visiting our website as we will keep you up-to-date across all forms of tech news.
