Known Issues
Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products:

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (DX12) may exhibit flickering corruption in certain scenes during gameplay.
• Returnal (DX12) may experience an application crash during gameplay with ray tracing settings turned on.
• Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 (DX12) may exhibit corruptions on water areas in certain scenarios.
• MLPerf may exhibit intermittent errors when running on multi-GPU system configurations. It is recommended to disable integrated GPU as a workaround.
• SPECapc for Maya 2024 may experience intermittent application freeze during benchmark.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 may experience an application crash while running the benchmark.

Intel Arc A-Series Graphics Products:

• Returnal (DX12) may experience an application crash during gameplay with ray tracing settings turned on.
• Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (DX12) may experience an application crash with ray tracing and XeSS enabled.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 may experience an application crash while running the benchmark.

Intel Core Ultra Series 1 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 may experience errors intermittently with benchmark preset set to Extended.

Intel Core Ultra Series 2 with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

• Adobe Premiere Pro may experience an intermittent application crash.
• PugetBench for Davinci Resolve Studio V19 may experience errors intermittently with benchmark preset set to Extended.

Intel Graphics Software

• Intel Graphics Software may experience a very intermittent application crash when navigating pages or dialogue boxes due to an underlying framework issue. A fix will be made available in IGS once WinAppSDK 1.7 is available for upgrade. The application can be re-launched without issue as a workaround.
• When using the settings, preferences, reset all settings option in Windows 10 the application may experience an intermittent crash.
• Settings can be reset from individual pages without issue.
• Intel Graphics Software may sometimes experience a single application crash on the first re-arrange of metrics within the select metrics window. Subsequent usage will not be affected by this crash again.
• FPS Limiter may not limit FPS with VSync ON and Low Latency Mode enabled.
• Profile controls may not always supersede global controls.
• Display scaling at non-native panel resolutions might result in unintended scaling.
• Intel Graphics Software may experience an application crash while navigating between application profiles in the Profiles page.

I really hope Intel's new CEO focuses on the GPU world a bit more, there is a lot of potential still.

Agreed. Just slotted in a new Sparkle B580 into my old system and am generally happy. Running two monitors at 4K but a little flickering still to be resolved in an LG monitor.

Lots of potential that's still on the table for the B580. Wish the ARC Graphics Software have new abilities like limiting background fps for games when you alt-tab (like how Nvidia and AMD does on their control panel), keeping settings permanent rather than resetting it each time the PC boots up etc.

In what way? Working on multiple versions of HW at a time? Having a dedicated software and driver team? Release driver updates regularly? Having affordable pricing so they have a big enough install base to get driver and HW feedback to improve? Creating a road map that using the new GPU arch on both CPU and dedicated GPU cards?

Outside of laying people off understand that this new CEO hasn't done anything and is only benefiting from the last guy. His impact is at least a year or 2 years out unless he lays off the wrong people. That and maybe not overcommitting on timeline is all he can do right now.
