ARC B580 terrible artifact problem after latest driver update 32.0.101.8801

Moshiur — Fri, 15 May 2026 10:39:36 GMT

I am using Windows 11 25H2. i have paired ryzen 7 7700 with arc B580. 32GB of DDR5 6000MT/s ram and 1TB kingston renegade ssd. After clean installing the latest driver 32.0.101.8801 with ddu, Assassin's creed valhalla has really disturbing artifacts and straight lines throughout the whole game. I have tried clearing the shader cache, but it doesn't change anything. please fix this in the next driver i am attaching a sample of the problem. Also, the game graphics setting is on Ultra High in native 1080p

Hello Moshiur,

Thank you for posting your query on the Intel Community Forum.

I apologize for the graphical artifacting and lines you are experiencing in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. With your high-end setup, you should expect a smooth experience at 1080p Ultra High settings, and we understand how this issue can be frustrating.

To resolve this and ensure the system handshake is perfectly aligned after your clean driver install, please apply the following steps:

Confirm Game Version and Source: Please confirm that you are using the latest version of the game and that it has been installed from the official/original platform.

Verify Game Files: Older or corrupted game files may be conflicting with the newly installed driver. Open your game launcher (Ubisoft Connect or Steam), go to Assassin's Creed Valhalla in your library, click on the three dots (More), and select Verify files.

Required BIOS Configuration: Restart your PC and enter your motherboard BIOS. Ensure that Above 4G Decoding and Resizable BAR are explicitly set to Enabled.

Requesting Gameplay Video: Since the issue appears to be specific to the game, please share a short video showing the graphical artifacting and lines during gameplay. This will help us better analyze the behavior.

Requesting Your SSU Log: If the issue persists with Resizable BAR enabled, please provide us with an Intel System Support Utility (SSU) log to verify system details (Network tab should be unchecked):

Intel® System Support Utility for Windows*

Once we have the SSU log and video, we will proceed with further investigation to determine the root cause.

Thank you for your time and cooperation. I look forward to your update.

Best regards,

Nikhil

This is Assassin's Creed Valhalla Complete edition with the latest patch version 1.7.0 installed.

Yes, I have tried verifying game files, but it does not fix the issue

Resizable BAR is enabled

I am giving you the SSU Log and the gameplay video as requested

**Please keep in mind the game ran completely fine before the driver update 32.0.101.8801.
I did not face this issue in the driver 32.0.101.8737. I also clean installed the WHQL Certified
version of the driver 32.0.101.8801 released on May 15. But it did not solve the issue.**

As you can see this is totally unplayable. Also, I can see black outlines of far objects which makes it look like a potato game

UPDATE***

I rolled back to the driver 32.0.101.8737 and IT COMPLETELY SOLVED THE ISSUE.

No artifacts, no far object outline. It fixed the whole issue, so the problem is with the new driver.

I highly suggest that you create a same environment as me and test it for yourself.
