Intel Pushes New Starfield Optimized Driver, Yet Issues with Arc GPUs Persist

Compatibility issues of Intel's Arc GPUs with Starfield remain a topic of contention in the gaming community. A recent Reddit post highlighted the game's subpar optimization for Arc GPUs, revealing that the Intel Arc A770 fails to meet Starfield's minimum requirements. This raised eyebrows, especially when the game supports the 7-year-old GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, while A770 matches the performance of RTX 3060 and even RTX 3060 Ti in some benchmarks.

Intel's recent driver release (v 31.0.101.4676) aimed at enhanced optimization and bug fixes for Starfield has garnered mixed feedback, with many pointing out persistent performance and stability issues. Nonetheless, Intel's relentless efforts to ensure a better gaming experience on its Arc platform are noteworthy.
