Feature Requests for Intel Graphics Software and Arc GPUs

Hello Intel Team,
First of all, thank you for your continued support of Intel Arc GPUs. I am currently using an Intel Arc B580 and I am very happy to see regular driver updates, XeSS improvements, and new gaming technologies.
I would like to share a few feature requests that I believe would greatly improve the user experience for Arc GPU owners:
1. Full In-Game Overlay
I would love to have a full in-game overlay similar to AMD Adrenalin (Alt+R) or NVIDIA App (Alt+Z).
Instead of only displaying performance metrics, it would be great if we could access Intel Graphics Software directly while gaming without Alt+Tab.
Examples:
GPU settings
XeSS settings
Performance tuning
Driver features
Game profiles
all accessible from an in-game overlay.
2. Built-In Recording and Instant Replay
Please consider bringing back recording features that existed in Arc Control.
Features I would like to see:
Game recording
Instant Replay
Screenshot capture
Streaming support
These are very useful features that many gamers use daily.
3. Better Frametime and Stutter Optimization
Average FPS is important, but smooth frametimes are equally important.
I would love to see continued work on:
Shader cache improvements
Frametime consistency
Micro-stutter reduction
DX11 optimization
especially for older games.
4. Continued DX9 / DX10 / DX11 Improvements
Intel has already made huge progress in this area.
I hope Intel continues improving:
DX9 performance
DX10 compatibility
DX11 performance and frametime stability
for legacy and popular multiplayer games.
5. Advanced Performance Monitoring
A more advanced monitoring system would be great, including:
Frametime graphs
1% low FPS
0.1% low FPS
CPU bottleneck indicators
GPU utilization history
This would help users troubleshoot performance issues more easily.
Final Thoughts
I really enjoy my Arc B580 and I am excited about the future of Intel Arc. I believe Intel Graphics Software has a lot of potential, and these features would make the software even more competitive with AMD Adrenalin and NVIDIA App.
Thank you for listening to community feedback and continuing to improve the Arc ecosystem.
Best regards, An Intel Arc B580 User
