Known Issues & Fixes
| Issue | Solution / Fix |
|---|---|
| Some users reported inconsistent performance and driver bugs in older DirectX 9-era games at launch, since Intel's drivers were new to gaming GPUs. | Intel released multiple driver updates addressing older API performance over the following months; keep drivers updated via Intel's Arc Control software for the latest game compatibility fixes. |
| A number of owners noted Resizable BAR is effectively required for good performance on this card, unlike most NVIDIA/AMD cards where it's optional. | Not fixable; enable Resizable BAR (or SAM) in your motherboard's BIOS settings, as Arc GPUs rely on it more heavily than competing architectures. |
