Optimization Request: Performance issues and crashes on Intel Arc A750 in Deadlock

westcett — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 11:49:13 GMT

Hello Intel Support Team,

I am reaching out to report significant performance issues with the game Deadlock (currently in Closed Beta) using an Intel Arc A750 graphics card. Despite the game's high player count (approx. 90,000 active users), the current optimization for Arc hardware seems insufficient.

My System Status:

GPU: Intel Arc A750
Feature: Resizable BAR is ENABLED (verified in BIOS).

The Issue: I am currently experiencing frame rates between 40-50 FPS, whereas similar cards like the RTX 4060 are achieving 120+ FPS. Furthermore, the game frequently freezes and crashes to the desktop. Based on the A750's hardware capabilities, I believe a performance target of 70-80 FPS is reasonable for this title.

I kindly request that the driver team investigates Deadlock for the next Intel Game On Driver update to improve stability and frame delivery.

Thank you for your continuous efforts in improving the Arc ecosystem.
