Two years ago, Intel presented its first bet on the dedicated graphics card market, a bet that, as we all know, went badly, very badly. Over time, Intel managed to make better use of this first generation thanks to updates of driverssomething I should have done when they came on the market.
With the presentation of the second generation of graphics, Intel wants to get rid of the bad reputation of Intel Arc A Series and decided to wipe the slate clean with the application Arc controlthe application responsible for managing its operation.
Now the application that users with dedicated or integrated Intel graphics should use to manage its operation, update drivers and much more is Intel graphics softwarea much more intuitive application, simple to use and which provides users with a large number of tools to get the most out of it.
Manage your Intel graphics with Intel graphics software
Although it is true that Arc Control was a very complete application to manage the graphics operation of the company managed until yesterday by Pat Gelsinger, many users complained about the lack of options available, which prevented them from shooting the best part of it.
Fortunately, Intel took note of the community's feedback and, instead of including it in the Arc Control application, decided to cut corners and create a new application from scratch, one that allows access control options. configurationprofiles, performance and so on from the main page, without having to navigate through the menus.
Many users have little knowledge of how graphics work and what performance possibilities they are capable of offering based on their features. Hide them in different sections of the menu, the only goal is that no one with basic knowledge can use them, resulting in a negative review.
One of the most striking aspects of this new application is that users have greater control over the overclock to increase memory speed, in addition to adjusting power levels, clock speed and voltage for better performance.
Intel is not the only manufacturer to have decided to modify the design and operation of the application which manages its graphics. At the beginning of the year it was presented in beta NVIDIA appan application that for several weeks has been the only one that all users must use, instead of GeForce Experience.
The first of the two graphics presented yesterday by Intel, the Intel Arc B580 It will hit the market next December 13 for $259 and at the moment we do not know what its price in dollars will be. At the moment, very few assemblers have reached an agreement with Intel to launch them on the market, which may indicate that their performance will not be the best of all. We will have to wait for the reviews to dispel doubts.
