Fixed Issues:
Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products:
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (DX12) may exhibit corruptions on water areas in certain scenarios.
  • Final Fantasy XVI (DX12) may exhibit color corruption in certain gameplay scenarios.
Intel Core Ultra Series 2 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (DX12) may exhibit corruptions on water areas in certain scenarios.
Known Issues:
Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products:
  • Visual corruptions may appear in certain scenarios with multiple application interactions.
  • PEAK (DX12) exhibit flickering texture corruptions during gameplay. We recommend that PEAK is launched with the Vulkan rendering API to avoid flickering textures during gameplay.
  • Broken Arrow (DX11) may experience lower than expected performance after changing graphics settings.
  • World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching Graphics API to DX11.
  • PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio may experience an intermittent application crash while running the benchmark. Recommendation is to change the timeout slider to 1500 seconds or higher, to wait for each test to complete, in PugetBench benchmark settings.
Intel Arc A-Series Graphics Products:
  • Broken Arrow (DX11) may experience lower than expected performance after changing graphics settings.
  • Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (DX12) may experience an application crash with ray tracing and XeSS enabled.
  • World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching Graphics API to DX11.
  • PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio may experience an intermittent application crash while running the benchmark. Recommendation is to change the timeout slider to 1500 seconds or higher, to wait for each test to complete, in PugetBench benchmark settings.
Intel Core Ultra Series 1 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:
  • World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching Graphics API to DX11.
Intel Core Ultra Series 2 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:
  • World of Warcraft: Dragonflight may experience an application crash while switching Graphics API to DX11.
  • Adobe Premiere Pro may experience an application crash while using audio enhancement features.
  • Topaz Video AI may experience visual artifacts when using certain AI models.
  • PugetBench for Photoshop may experience an application crash while running the benchmark.

My question is, how the hell do you even know this is an issue on iGPUs in the first place? What's the performance of Black Ops 6 on an iGPU, minimum requirements is an A580. Will it even boot on an iGPU only system?

You'd be surprised on how capable modern iGPU is, people who have this CPU could just test their iGPU because why not? Its already there. I know I'm curious how Vega8 on my 5700G perform on modern game, and I quite surprise it can definitely play some newer games like CP2077 and Expedition 33, need to use with FSR but still its impressive nonetheless.
