Intel Arc Graphics Cards Set to Feature Official Overclocking Support at Launch
Intel Vice President and General Manager of Client Graphics Products and Solutions Roger Chandler has recently announced that the companies upcoming Arc gaming graphics cards will include overclocking support at launch through the official driver UI. This offering may resemble that of AMD's with their Radeon Software that offers various overclocking tools including clock speeds, power settings, and fan curves. Intel has also been working on various other driver improvements in the lead-up to release including enhancing shader compiling and improving throughput. The post also confirmed the implementation of complete DirectX 12 Ultimate compliance which will enable variable-rate shading tier 2 and mesh shading. Intel is expected to release the first Arc gaming graphics cards for desktops and notebooks in Q1 2022.

As for Intel and @maxfly supposed OC support... wow. To think that of a company who has been locking away every tiny semblance of a feature behind a different paywall, is pretty staggering. Every drop of OC on an Intel CPU is being paid for twice over, and the last few generations you're getting less value for money every time because Intel needed to market/do the work for you.
The last good Intel CPU for overclocking was a 2500/2700k. That's right. Ten whoppin' generations of Core ago. Every shrink OC went downhill faster, and when they stopped shrinking, the last drops were literally moved to high performance cooling territory and excessive power budgets to attain them. Even Intel plays ball in that area now with their 'new' Turbos.
Is paywall the new word of the day? If you cant pay don't play! Too easy.
Your entitled to your opinion
Thank You.
