Good night! Have a great weekend! I sent you a report, or rather, a log, from Capframex. Be careful with ultra settings without ray tracing. My summary of the Intel Arc A770 GPU: This graphics card is designed for 1440p with everything maxed out, native 1440p at 65 FPS and beyond. Being a high-performance Arc A770 with its 16GB of VRAM (graphics VRAM is very important) and a memory speed of 17 Gbps, 256-bit, and 512GB/s, I can tell you that this graphics card can outperform the RTX 3060 and 4060, surpassing the RTX 4060 by 5%. Because it has its 16GB of VRAM and more. What's up? I understand you're doing your best, but there's a catch: performance varies depending on the area, gameplay, and map. I'm telling you right now that this Arc A770 16GB graphics card... It can easily outperform an RTX 4060 8GB and reach the same level as a B580 12GB.
I don't know exactly when I bought it, but I bought it as soon as the Intel Arc A770 came out to test its performance. It's widely said that it surpasses the RTX 3060, and I agree it does, but not in all games. But I'd bet my life that the Arc A770 could easily outperform the RTX 4060 in raw performance and gaming, and even be on par with the Arc B580. The drivers are still very mature, like Nvidia's. Both the Arc A770 and B580 are capable of running 1440p and 4K, and if you're playing 4K, the Arc A770 has more VRAM and can easily handle 60 FPS on medium-high settings, even on high if you enable Intel XeSS.
Since we're talking about the poor performance of Resident Evil Requiem, and not just that game, we're still waiting for DX12 performance improvements, stability fixes, and bug fixes. Remember RDR2? When it says high refresh rate, it activates 170Hz but drops to 48Hz. Well, I'm still waiting for you to fix that problem. And you keep saying that Intel Arc graphics handle the modern DX12 API, which should deliver double the performance, and I still remember the very, very low DX12 performance of RDR2. Obviously, it's been reported, but when are you going to release a fix for the problem, please
Why would it be so hard to create a comprehensive list of Intel Arc drivers, for example, for stability, performance, and compatibility with over 100 games, like last time? I don't know if you remember the Intel Arc A graphics card issue. Well, saying "we've added compatibility and fixed the problem" doesn't help at all. I want a comprehensive list, like the one from the very beginning, so that this problem can actually be fixed.
I don't work for Intel, nor am I anything like that, but I'm giving you suggestions so you can take them into account. I've been in IT and graphics for years; I've also owned several AMD and Nvidia models. I don't like Nvidia, remember I told you they pulled a fast one on me with DLSS in RDR2? They talked internally with the developers and implemented it. I came across this thinking you'd really go all out and criticize it, but I see that's not the case; you treat us like we're stupid.
I told you from the beginning, suggestions, etc. It's more for you and us as players, so that Intel can run smoothly and quickly. I understand that there are many Intel driver engineers working on it, but that's not the problem. The issue is the following: low performance, that when it says 170Hz it only applies 48Hz, that the GPU should be better, etc. And it's not just that. The main and fundamental thing is to release complete driver packs, all of them, for DirectX 11 and 12, fixing the problem and improving performance. And when I say all, I mean all. "We've fixed it and added compatibility" isn't enough. I want a huge list of all game titles, all DirectX, both 11 and 12, and then I'll tell you, great.
Please tell the engineers once and for all to release Drivers Days Gone, improve performance, or send me a list of which games are reported and which list I'm on.
That's the performance of Resident Evil Requiem. I hope you fix it soon.
