Intel Arc B580 Performance Issues since 32.0.101.6881

[DParadoxVI]

Since the latest WHQL got released, I'm experiencing some Game Performance Issues with AAA games. Like Lies Of P, and Marvel Spider-Man 2

Lies of P used to run perfectly, super smooth in the Maximum Settings. But as soon as I started the Overture DLC, and I finished beating the first boss Markiona, the game frames and performance dropped significantly.

Super sluggish, like there was some...stuttering or frame drops I can spot. The easiest way to notice the check was while opening the pause menu, because the animation used to be super fluid, and now it is so sluggish. I also noticed that when changing the Legion Arm, the textures would take 1 or 2 visible seconds to load (something that had never happened to me before) and in some maps, the terrain would take some seconds to load, something that it didn't happened before the release of the driver and the DLC.

I even tried to turn on FSR Frame Generation, or lower the graphics settings to the lowest to see if it would help, but the issue remained no matter what, even if I tried to force -dx11 or -dx12

I even tried to roll back to the 32.0.101.6877 driver with no positive results at all

Now with Spider-Man 2, the issues are kinda similar. The game used to run fantastically and overall pretty smoothly, except on some demanding scenes like when Marko grabs Miles, throws him away, and Miles slingshots himself against Marko.

But now, during the intro scene at the school, NPC models pop out of nowhere when Peter leaves the room, and some black things pop up while they are on the rooftop. The texture loading thing can also be spotted right when the clock in the classroom is shown, something that didn't happen before either

Stellar Blade runs mostly fine, I think I noticed some frame drops here and there, but I'm genuinely confused about why this could be happening.

Along my Arc B580, I have:

• Intel Core i5 11600K Overclocked with Asus AI option
• 64 GB DDR4 3600 MHz with XMP 2.0 Enabled
• PSU Cooler Master GX3 850W

Games are running on a Gigabyte SATA SSD (I'll attach the CrystalDisk Info results of said SSD)

I'll attach a short video from Lies Of P, showing the issue I described earlier in this post, and a OneDrive link to the full Spider-Man 2 intro to show all the problems I noticed (I can't attach it with this post since it surpasses the maximum file Size by a lot)

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - 2025-06-27 11-38-40.mp4

In the meantime, while I wait for your support, I'll try to roll back to the 32.0.101.6874 driver and see if it works fine
