THE CRUNCH
Intel has released version 101.9030 of its Arc GPU graphics drivers in beta. The update brings Game Ready support for EA SPORTS FC 27, SILENT HILL: Townfall, and Aniimo. The release addresses a number of bugs, including stuttering in Dragon's Dogma 2 on Core Ultra Series 2 and 3 chips, missing objects in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and a launch crash in Palia on Arc B-Series cards. It also fixes hardware-accel-
eration issues in Capture One Pro across all supported products. Intel notes that the Performance Tuning feature in its graphics software remains in beta and may behave unexpectedly on systems with two tuning-capable GPUs.
The update also resolves a visual corruption issue in Gamble With Your Friends on Arc A-Series graphics. However, Intel warns of known issues, including application crashes in Mafia: The Old Country, Arena Breakout Infinite, and NBA 2K26, as well as benchmark failures in PugetBench for Lightroom Classic and Davinci Resolve Studio.
