Intel has released its latest Game On driver, 5379 WHQL, which brings another round of huge FPS uplifts for Arc A-Series GPUs & Core Ultra CPUs.

Intel Game-On Driver Boosts Performance By Up To 172% For Arc GPUs & Core Ultra CPUs, Four New Games Supported Including Diablo IV With Ray Tracing & Horizon Forbidden West

It's fair to say by this point that Intel's software division is really putting in the extra time by not only working on new game support in the latest Game On Drivers but also making sure that the performance in existing titles is up to mark. The company has brought in some big performance improvements in previous updates and the latest release once again pushes things further with a +172% uplift.
