ARC graphics card cannot enable XESS2 frame generation function while playing Black Myth: WuKong

门徒 — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 11:26:16 GMT

Game Science has released a patch for the game "Black Myth: Wukong", which explicitly mentions that it will fix an issue where the Xess 2.0 frame generation function cannot be correctly applied on some monitors. This also answered the doubts that had troubled me for half a year. For this, I would like to thank VonM_Intel for his patient response recently! The game patch is coming soon, I hope everything goes smoothly!
Also, I would like to know if the B770 can be officially released within this year. Some of my friends have asked me to inquire with you and hope to receive a clear answer. Of course, if it's convenient for you to answer~

As for the Arc B770 (Battlemage) release:

I cannot guarantee certainty, but based on the publicly available information and leaks, here’s where things currently stand — and what I consider likely.

What we do know / what’s rumored

Intel has already launched the first two Battlemage desktop GPUs: B580 and B570. Tom's Hardware+2Intel+2
Many reports suggest that Intel intends more models in the Battlemage family, among them the B770. Wikipedia+3GameGPU+3Tom's Hardware+3
Some sources are now pointing to Q4 2025 as a likely launch window for the B770. Tom's Hardware+4guru3D Forums+4GameGPU+4
Leaked PCI device IDs have shown new Battlemage identifiers in the Linux Mesa driver, which could hint that Intel is preparing support for new hardware (like B770) ahead of release. Tom's Hardware
Insider claims suggest that Intel is still pushing for a launch “later this year” for the B770. OC3D

What is uncertain

No official announcement from Intel has confirmed a B770 release, or a specific date.
Rumors have shifted over time — earlier hopes pointed toward unveiling at Computex, but that window has passed without official confirmation. TechRadar+2GameGPU+2
The fact that no final specification or pricing has leaked (at least in a well-substantiated way) suggests that Intel still has some finalization steps to complete.
Manufacturing, testing, driver readiness, and possible delays all still pose risks.

My estimation & caveats

Given the weight of leaks pointing to Q4 2025, I think it is plausible that the B770 could be officially released before the end of the year — especially if Intel wants to expand its GPU lineup to compete more strongly in the mid-to-upper tiers. However, “plausible” is different from “guaranteed.”

If you want, I can monitor for any official Intel communication about B770 and notify you immediately once there’s a clearer statement. Would you like me to keep you updated?

Before Nvidia and AMD released their next generation GPUs, which is now, I believe it is a good time for Intel to capture market share in the mid to high end graphics card market and lay the foundation for establishing an ecosystem in the future. If Intel really intends to compete in the independent graphics card field, then this step must be taken, and the sooner the better. Let users see Intel's attitude and progress, which can effectively dispel their wait-and-see mentality of holding onto coins.
Similarly, the B380 is also the same (if the name is called this, you know what I mean). At present, there is an obvious vacancy in the consumer market for new low-end independent graphics cards. It is very necessary to launch the B380 to replace the immature A380, which is conducive to building a user base. Especially for some college students who are not strong in purchasing power for the time being, it will be beneficial for the future to attract them to become Intel independent graphics card users, because these people will certainly be the main voice group of the Internet in the future. Now, they will always take the risk to choose second-hand video cards or mining cards for performance. This is an opportunity.
So, if you have any first-hand information, please let me know. I am a video blogger who can help Intel attract more users within a certain social circle.

Hah! The problem here is that if someone at Intel says it will be released on (or by) some particular date and that date isn't met, the Internet Trolls will go crazy suing Intel for breach of contract and damages. As a result, Intel developed a policy where it forbids Intel Customer Support (ICS) agents from speculating on release dates or features. Bottom line, you will not get any response from ICS agents here. Hopefully the interest will be passed up the line and articles (or 'leaks') are generated as a result.

Okay, thank you for your reply. I understand what you mean. As far as I know, many users have already lost their waiting mood and started purchasing Nvidia RTX5070 graphics cards, which also involves Intel's pricing strategy and some complex reasons. In summary, I just want to ensure that the B770 will be officially released and put on sale within this year.

As I said, you won't get that answer here, at least not before it is locked down for release by authorized vendors.
