Arc game support

[Raziuri]

Does arc B580 or B570 support older source games like Team Fortress 2?

Hi Raziuri,

Thank you for posting in the communities!

To answer your question, Arc B580 and B570 are more optimize on running newer games that run on DX12.

But unfortunately, Team Fortress 2 runs on DX 9, you may encounter some compatibility issues with it.

May I know if you were able to run Team Fortress 2 on your Arc B580 or 570?

Do you encounter any issues with it? any error messages?

Best regards,

Thanks for the info, I was asking because I plan to get either the B580 or B570 for my pc build (depending on availability), and i was wondering if some of the older games in my library will work. as for if it ran, I'll update you on that as soon as i can get my hands on one of the card and test it.

If I remember correctly TF2's 64 bit version does have experimental Vulkan support.

Should give instructions on how to enable it.  I imagine that would work well.  I may check on my ARC setup later.

I just purchased my Intel ARC B580, and my favorite older game Soldier of Fortune 2, older Directx 9 game, it will not launch into the game.  I tried numerous times, I am using Windows 11, the game worked fine on my previous graphics card RTX 4060ti.  I play this game every day so if you guys have anything you can assist with getting this game to launch would be great, otherwise I have to return it.

just got an arc B580, TF2 works and runs at a good fps, but there is occasional stuttering and game freezing
