Hello dear Intel Community and Intel Co Workers. I am writing this List in order to bring up a wishlist of features and software adjustments for Intel Arc GPUs. it took quite a little while to gather up the informations and ask the people in certain communities. But now here I am with the summory of this List.

1. Recording and Streaming Features
Integrated recording function within the driver (similar to Shadowplay/ReLive)

Reliable hotkeys for instant recording
Improved OBS compatibility and encoding quality
More stable video recording, similar to early Arc drivers
Optional AI-powered microphone noise suppression and background removal

2. RGB Control within the Intel Driver

Native control of GPU RGB lighting without third-party software

3. Monitoring and Overlay Improvements

Integrated overlay for FPS, temperatures, utilization, and frame times
Easy activation via keyboard shortcut
Expanded driver options for frame limiters and performance profiles
More stable and accurate metrics display in IGS

4. VR Support

Official SteamVR compatibility
Improved latency and stability for VR streaming (ALVR, etc.)

5. Graphics API Optimizations

Significant improvements to OpenGL performance
Further optimizations for Vulkan titles
Better compatibility for older games and engines (DX9, OpenGL)

6. XeSS Improvements

Driver-side XeSS overrides (similar to DLSS version overrides on Nvidia)
More stable implementation in games and tools

7. Revival of Older Intel Technologies

Return of Intel Deep Link (ideally open source)
Return of Intel Cryo Cooling for supported systems
Return of Intel Video Recording Features

8. Improved Driver Software (IGS)

Per-game color profiles
More stable user interface
Granular overclocking options (voltage, power limit, fan curves)
Better integration of PresentMon into the driver

9. Recording and Media Features

Improved AV1 and HEVC encoding performance
More stable multi-stream encoding capabilities
Optimized hardware acceleration for streaming services

10. Linux Improvements

More Consistent Vulkan Performance
Improved OpenGL Translation Layers
Full XeSS Hardware Utilization on Linux

11. Multi-GPU Compute Support

Parallel utilization of multiple Arc GPUs for AI inference, video processing, or batch rendering
OpenVINO Multi-Device Scheduling
DX12/Vulkan Explicit Multi-Adapter Profile
Dual GPU Gaming Support as a driver option, where the two GPUs utilize the Game as it works with the Application named LossLess Scaling

12. Improved Shader Compilation

Faster pipeline compilation
Reduced shader stuttering in new games
Persistent per-game shader caches

13. More Stable Display Features

Improved DP handshake stability
Faster wake-up detection
Fixes for black screen issues following restarts

14. Enhanced AI Acceleration

Optimized DirectML performance
Vulkan compute backend for AI workloads
Improved ONNX Runtime integration

15. Better Power Management

Lower idle power consumption
Improved multi-monitor idle states
Adaptive power states for video playback

16. Overclocking and Tweaking

Options to choose in the Software for GPU Performance tweaking
Limitations and goal options

I hope the mentioned things in the list are duable and addible to the main Intel Arc Graphis Software. All of this would give Intel Arc a new meaning, especially the Dual / Multi GPU Part.

Hello Gl1tch,

Thank you for patiently waiting.

I will forward your suggestion to our dedicated team for review and consideration. While I’m unable to provide a specific timeline for implementation or any confirmation, please be assured that we are continuously working on improving our features and knowledge base.

We truly appreciate your valuable feedback.

With that, I will now close this inquiry. If you require further assistance, please submit a new question, as this thread will no longer be monitored.

Thank you for your understanding

Best regards,

Christian Louierico A.
