Intel steigt in den Grafikkartenmarkt ein (ARC-Serie)

Zitat

As part of our effort to optimize software capabilities, we tested some application-specific optimizations in popular benchmarks from UL, including 3DMark Time Spy and Port Royal, and then applied some of those optimizations to benefit real-world games. But other optimizations have not yet scaled into general game performance uplift and remain applicable only to Time Spy and Port Royal for now.

We have included these benchmark specific optimizations in the version of our driver we are releasing today on Intel.com so that we can show the full capabilities of our new Arc graphics products. For example, on Time Spy, we see an impact of approximately 15% when benchmark specific optimizations are implemented, depending on the specific Intel Arc graphics SKU. We informed UL that these benchmark optimizations will be enabled in our initial releases and, aligning with UL’s benchmark guidelines, our driver will not be a UL-approved driver for now.

By the end of April, we will add a UI option that allows users to toggle these benchmark specific optimizations on and off. This gives anyone the ability to see the top-level Intel Arc hardware potential of a fully optimized workload, as well as general benchmark performance. When the toggle is in place and the benchmark optimizations are disabled by default, the driver will be eligible for approval by UL.
