Intel announced this weekend some new graphics drivers for both its Intel Arc GPUs and Intel Iris iGPUs, these improve the performance of League of Legends and add support for new releases. Specifically, they arrive to support new releases such as the exoprimaland the Jagged Alliance 3. Officially, these drivers respond to the name of Intel Graphics Beta Driver 31.0.101.4575 for Intel Arc A-Series Graphics and Intel Iris Xe Graphics. Yes, too long.
When it comes to performance improvements, only one of the most played games in the world benefits, League of Legends. Under the DirectX 11 API, playing at 1080p resolution, with Very High graphics quality, the performance improvement experienced is up to 6%. If you play at a 1440p resolution, at the same graphic quality, the performance improvement is already up to 10%.
These performance improvements are linked to the use of a GPU Intel Arc A750. This graphics card was accompanied by an Intel Core i9-13900K CPU, an ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO motherboard, and 32GB of CORSAIR DOMINATOR Platinum RGB DDR5 @ 5,600 MHz RAM. The operating system is Windows 11. You can download these new Intel drivers focused on League of Legends and new releases from the Intel website.
