Intel Claims 71% Arc GPU Performance Boost in Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 gets XeSS

Intel appears to be delighted with software and driver updates that have boosted Arc graphics performance by over 70% in Cyberpunk 2077. The chipmaker’s drivers have gone from strength to strength over recent months, but Cyberpunk 2077 has been given an extra leg-up as developers CD Projekt Red have implemented the code to support Intel XeSS 1.1 technology for the first time.

According to Intel’s in-house tests, a humble Arc A750 combined with a Core i9-13900K previously achieved 39 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 before the latest updates. Now, with the latest drivers and XeSS support, gamers can enjoy the same 1080p Ultra and RT Medium thrills at an average of 67 fps. Please note that XeSS was set to ‘Performance’ mode to deliver this uplift.
