ARC B580 WARDOGS

[ViniciusMoraes]

On new game WARDOGS im getting insane stutter, everything freezes EXACTLY every 1 second. The worst part is it's not just in-game, it happens even sitting in the settings menu just moving the mouse. Already ran LatencyMon and it doesn't flag anything abnormal on drivers/DPC. Already tried closing Game Bar, Steam overlay, Afterburner, messed with network adapter settings, nothing fixed it. Saw some people on Reddit reporting basically the same thing with this card. Any solution? Is there a specific driver version that fixes this or do we just have to wait for an Intel; game patch?

I regret buying this GPU...

I can confirm the exact same issue on my Intel Arc B580 specifically in Wardogs.
The micro-stutters and frame pacing hitches make the game unplayable.

I have already tested pretty much everything on my end: tweaking in-game graphics settings from lowest to ultra,
changing rendering modes, clearing the shader cache, and messing with global/per-game settings inside the Intel Arc software suite. Nothing seems to resolve the periodic freezing.

It really looks like a pipeline/driver profiling issue specific to this game and Arc Battlemage cards.
Hopefully the driver team can investigate this and coordinate with the developers for a fix.

I’m also experiencing severe stuttering with my Intel Arc B580 in WARDOGS. This is not simply low FPS — the game briefly freezes every few seconds, even with all graphics settings on Low. I also experience significant input delay with vehicles and weapon/item switching. Hopefully this can be investigated and addressed in a future Intel driver update.
